Joanna Gaines, the beloved star of Fixer Upper and co-founder of the Magnolia Network, is embracing a whirlwind of celebrations as she recently marked a significant milestone: her daughter Ella’s 18th birthday. On October 20, Joanna shared heartfelt birthday decorations featuring a chic blue and sage-green theme that reflected Ella’s journey into adulthood. In her touching Instagram post, Joanna expressed, “One more sleep til our Ella is 18! My how time flies,” resonating with many parents who understand the bittersweet nature of watching their children grow up.
The Gaines family, known for their close-knit dynamic, celebrated with a charming setup that included international flair, party plates that read “Oui,” and an array of oversized balloons. Ella, who is the second oldest of the Gaines’ five children, is preparing to step into a new chapter, much like her older brother Drake, who is currently in college.
Just days after this personal celebration, Joanna and her husband Chip made a splash at the PaleyFest NY, engaging with fans during a special panel discussion titled A Conversation with Chip & Joanna Gaines. The event featured lighthearted discussions about their projects and life beyond the cameras, with Joanna dazzling in a stylish black jumpsuit and Chip exuding his signature laid-back charm.
Adding to the excitement, Joanna and Chip are set to launch a new roller skating competition series titled Roller Jam on the Magnolia Network. Premiering on October 10, the series promises to showcase some of the nation’s best roller skating crews competing for a grand prize of $150,000, along with a donation to their local rink. The show highlights Joanna’s passion for roller skating and her commitment to bringing unique entertainment to their audience.
As the Gaines family navigates these memorable moments, they continue to inspire fans with their love for family, design, and community. With Joanna’s 50th birthday on the horizon, it’s clear that this season is filled with joy and cherished celebrations.
