Chip Gaines said it best when he wished his wife, Fixer Upper star Joanna Gaines a happy 40th birthday on Twitter.
“Happy birthday sweet girl! #40neverLookedSoGood,” he wrote.
The expectant star, who already shares kids Drake, 12, Ella, 11, Duke, 9, and Emmie Kay, 7, with Chip, manages to juggle a million roles — designer, storeowner, TV, mom and wife (just to name a few) — and never has a hair in her enviable blowout out of place while doing it. Still, she’s opened up about aging, and embracing that with grace.
“As I am getting older the idea of beauty is very different for me,” Joanna said in an interview with Darling. “Yes, I am getting gray hairs and wrinkles, but I feel more beautiful now because I know I have a great purpose. I know I’m meant to raise my children well, to love my husband well, and to help others in their home. When I do these things, that’s when I feel beautiful.”
