These former HGTV darlings captured our hearts with their warm, genuine chemistry, transforming not just run-down houses into dream homes but also elevating our spirits.
However, whispers of potential problems are now surfacing, casting a shadow over the “Fixer Upper” fairy tale. Are Chip and Joanna facing a rift? It seems their latest venture, a challenging hotel renovation, might have put their marriage to the test
From Radar Online:
Busy bees Chip and Joanna Gaines are celebrating the opening of their new hotel in their hometown of Waco, Texas — and a new TV show detailing the large-scale reno — but sources claimed the massive project put their 20-year marriage to the test, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Chip, 48, and Joanna, 45, are set to open the 33-room luxury boutique Hotel 1928, which sits in the city's historic downtown, on November 3.
After four long years of remodeling, Hotel 1928's doors are almost ready to open to the public. The road getting there reportedly wasn't easy for the former HGTV stars, even with tons of experience in their toolbox.
Sources told the National Enquirer that the project pushed Chip and Joanna "to the breaking point" as they tirelessly worked to complete the project.
"Every day there was another crisis that left them at each other's throats," an insider claimed of the husband-wife team.
As renovation projects go — and certainly one as big of an undertaking as the hotel — the source continued, "They were bickering constantly and getting little sleep."
Let’s hope this was ust a one-off thing and that these two will recover and keep going strong, because if they can’t make it, nobody can.
Here's to hoping this was just a one-off hiccup and that these two bounce back quickly and robustly. Because, let's face it—if they can't weather this storm, what hope is there for the rest of us?
