When HGTV stars aren’t building and designing houses, many of them return home to their families.
Christina Haack has a blended family with Tarek and Heather El Moussa, including four kids in total. Meanwhile, Fixer to Fabulous’ Jenny and Dave Marrs have four children of their own, and Renovation Resort Showdown couple Bryan and Sarah Baeumler have five kids.
On the other hand, Home Town hosts Ben and Erin Napier have two daughters, and Property Brothers star Drew Scott has a young son and daughter.
HGTV fans have also not forgotten about Fixer Upper alums Chip and Joanna Gaines and their five kids. Similarly, Married to Real Estate stars Egypt Sherrod and Mike Jackson, along with their three children, were part of the network for several years.
Here’s everything to know about all of the HGTV stars’ kids.

Chip and Joanna, who married in 2003, may have their own Magnolia Network now, but viewers originally watched their family grow on HGTV’s Fixer Upper over five seasons.
The Gaines family includes five children: Drake, born in February 2005; Ella, born in October 2006; Duke, born in May 2008; Emmie, born in January 2010; and Crew, born in June 2018.
As the kids have grown older, they’ve appeared on their parents’ shows less frequently, but fans still catch glimpses of them on TV and social media.
“They’re so young and we want to give them the chance to have a normal childhood,” Joanna told PEOPLE. “When we wake up in the morning, I think we’re normal. But then you go to Target and it’s definitely different. We’re both in awe.”
The couple have also said that their biggest priority is “instilling kindness” in their children.
“Every day we try to teach our own kids to be kind to themselves, to each other, to neighbors and especially to those who look like they are alone,” Joanna shared.
Christina Haack’s 3 Kids

Christina rose to fame alongside ex-husband Tarek on HGTV’s Flip or Flop. The pair welcomed their daughter, Taylor, in September 2010 and their son, Brayden, in August 2015.
After they divorced, Christina welcomed her third child, Hudson, in September 2019, with her now ex-husband Ant Anstead.
Haack’s kids occasionally appear on her social media and shows, including Christina on the Coast, Christina: Stronger by Design and Christina in the Country. However, she tries to keep their airtime to a minimum.
“They film with us maybe a maximum of an hour, maybe once a month,” she told E! News in January 2023. “I want them to go to college and then later, much later, if that’s something they want to do and pursue, more power to them. But most importantly, I just want them to have normal childhoods.”
However, Christina admitted that her daughter has a knack for the industry.
“Taylor is just a natural,” she told the outlet. “She’s actually really good at design, and she’s really good on camera. It kind of freaks me out, but I don’t want her to do any of that for a while.”
Tarek and Heather Rae El Moussa’s 3 Kids

After welcoming Taylor and Brayden with Haack, Tarek married Selling Sunset star Heather Rae El Moussa and they welcomed son Tristan in January 2023.
Now, the blended family appears on The Flipping El Moussas and The Flip Off.
“I feel like the kids love it that we’re doing a show together, and they can see their parents all working together,” Heather said on The Jennifer Hudson Show in January 2025. “They love it. They’re very supportive.”
The only thing Tarek loves more than flipping houses is being a dad.
“I’m just obsessed with my kids,” he told PEOPLE in July 2022 when he learned he was expecting baby No. 3. “They’re my everything, so having another one is just icing on the cake. I’m so excited.”
Bryan and Sarah Baeumler’s 4 Kids

Renovation Resort Showdown couple Bryan and Sarah are parents to four kids: Quintyn, born in January 2005; Charlotte, born in April 2007; Lincoln, born in November 2010; and Josephine, born in November 2012.
The pair moved their family from Canada, where they star in several TV series, to the Bahamas in 2020 to take on their biggest challenge yet: restoring a massive abandoned resort for HGTV’s Renovation Island series.
Bryan and Sarah called it a “huge family adventure.”
“[The] project checked all the boxes,” they told PEOPLE in 2020. “The kids love to travel, and we’re always seeking adventure.”
Since then, the Baeumlers have returned home to Canada.

Married to Real Estate stars Egypt and Mike have three kids, including two they welcomed together: Kendall in January 2012 and Harper in February 2019, and Jackson’s older daughter from a previous marriage, Simone, who was born in September 2001.
Their blended family was featured on their show until its surprise cancellation in June 2025.
“Mike and I just landed back in the States after an unforgettable family trip through the Mediterranean, and we’re met with unexpected news,” Sherrod wrote on Instagram.
Despite the “disheartening” cancellation, she said she was still appreciative of the show, the crew, and fans. The former host penned, “And most of all — grateful that we are still very much married to real estate (and to each other).”
Earlier that month, Sherrod revealed in a Father’s Day post what made her husband such a great dad.
“Watching you be a father is one of the greatest gifts of my life. Your steady presence, your unwavering support … speaks volumes about the man you are,” she shared. “Thank you for being the kind of dad our children will always look up to … You are everything a father should be.”
Jenny and Dave Marrs’ 5 Kids

Fixer to Fabulous pair Jenny and Dave share five children: twin sons Nathan and Ben, born in May 2010; daughter Sylvie, born in January 2012; daughter Charlotte, born in May 2014; and son Luke, born in June 2019.
The duo recalled seeing Sylvie, originally from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, for the first time while considering adoption, and immediately falling in love with her.
“I feel like God put [it] on our hearts that she was ours, and right when you knew, it was just like, ‘Yup.’ It was a key in a lock,” Dave told PEOPLE in November 2019.
“The emotion of it was really similar to the birth of our bio children — that first time holding them,” Jenny added. “I get emotional thinking about it, ’cause it was just really special.”
Jenny and Dave know their family “look[s] a little bit different than most,” but their priority is showing all of their kids that “we’re the exact same,” Dave told PEOPLE in April 2023.
“Adoption is a part of our family,” Jenny added. “It’s a part of our story, but they’re all just our kids.”

Home Town hosts Ben and Erin are the proud parents of two girls: Helen and Mae, born in January 2018 and May 2021, respectively.
The pair keep their kids’ lives fairly private, but they have shared rare glimpses into their family activities on the show.
In March 2024, the foursome went fruit picking on an episode of Home Town. “Our girls are obsessed with blueberries,” Erin shared in a clip. “It’s their favorite food in the world.”
The parents have been open about limiting their children’s screen time and encouraging them to participate in other hobbies and activities.
“It’s less about what we don’t want them to use and more about what we want them to do with the adolescence that they’re going to be given,” Erin told PEOPLE in February 2024.
“We want to focus on is helping our girls find their gifts in the real world, and when they’re older, much older, I think they’ll be mentally prepared for what social media is and the tool that it can be,” she added.
Drew Scott’s 2 Kids

Property Brothers star Drew Scott and his wife, Linda Phan, welcomed their kids — Parker and Piper — in May 2022 and May 2024, respectively.
After years of struggling to conceive with “no success,” Drew told PEOPLE in April 2022 that they were “so lost,” and finally sought the support of experts.
Now, as parents of toddlers, he has said that their biggest parenting success comes from partnership and communication.
“The real, open dialogue between Linda and me is a huge part of me being a better dad,” Drew shared in June 2023. “Because she’ll give me a slight reminder if I’m not doing something I promised to do. It’s not just about the baby, it’s also about your communication with your partner.”
