Anyone who’s ever watched “Fixer Upper” knows that Chip Gaines is a kid at heart.
And clearly, that’s one of things wife Joanna loves about him. Case in point, Joanna had her phone handy when she happened upon Chip feeding his inner child with a little imaginary light saber dual.
Joanna Gaines quietly snuck up to catch the Star Wars inspired moment, posting the video with the caption, “May the force be with you @chipgaines“
After several seconds capturing Chip’s Jedi moves, Joanna calls out “Chip” and her husband looks up amused and clearly a little embarassed before walking out of camera range.
Joanna’s followers were here for the candid moment, commenting, “How does he always manage to be so funny?! He is the best!! P.S. That sign in the beginning is awesome.😍”
Another said, “This is too good! Go chip! 😂🔥”
And, “The force is strong with this one 🤣”
Yet another commented, “It’s the kind of recording you usually do of your kids so they don’t see you…except this is of your husband. Stay young forever Chip!😎”
One even looked at the practical applications, saying, “A lightsaber would probably make Demo Day much easier, and definitely more fun 😂”
Chip Gaines Doesn’t Let Milestone Birthday Slow Him Down
Chip Gaines celebrated his 50th birthday last November. Since then, he’s been doing everything he can to hold on to his youth.
He and Joanna have started working out together for the first time in their marriage. In an Instagram post in January, Joanna Gaines wrote, “For the first time in our marriage, Chip and I decided to work out together. We started working w/ our friend @donsaladino in September and when he asked me to do push-ups on our first day I said, “I can’t. My back.”
A few months in and I’ve never felt stronger. Today I did FIFTY push-ups! So I’m celebrating and putting this out there… I’ve let time, age, injury, and busyness be my excuse of why not to workout. I’m finally over the “it’s too hard” hump and I’m ready to go! Who’s with me?!”
Crew Gaines Is Helping Keep His Parents Young
But the couple’s youngest son, 6-year-old Crew, may be the real fountain of youth for the couple.
In addition to just keeping up with the energetic little boy each day on the farm, Chip and Jo recently took Crew on a surprise trip to Disney World. Chip posted pictures of the trip on his Instagram page, writing, “Got to show little Crew around the most magical place on earth..”
The pictures show father and son walking through the park hand-in-hand, riding “Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin” and “Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind.” The pictures also show Chip holding Crew as they take in the fireworks over the Cinderella Castle.
