Chip and Joanna Gaines may be HGTV stars and master Fixer Uppers, but the couple’s biggest role is as the parents to their five children. After meeting in 2001 in the waiting room of Joanna’s father’s automotive and tire shop in Waco, Texas and tying the knot in 2003, Chip and Joanna stepped into a parental role in 2005. The couple now have three sons and two daughters together from ages 8 to 21. Meet Chip and Joanna Gaines’ five kids: Drake, Ella Rose, Duke, Emmie Kay and Crew.
Drake Gaines, 21
Born on February 5, 2005 is Chip and Joanna’s first son, Drake Gaines. Named after the Drake Hotel in New York City, where the couple took their Honeymoon, Drake grew up with an interest in athletics, specifically baseball and watersports. The now-21-year-old has gone through some big life milestones including getting his drivers license and starting college, both of which have been documented by Joanna.
Currently, Drake is attending the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor, where he studies business entrepreneurship and plays on the baseball team as an outfielder and relief pitcher.
Ella Gaines, 19
Chip and Joanna welcomed their first daughter, Ella Rose, on October 20, 2006. Over the years, Ella has explored different interests, most which mirror her mother’s, among them gardening, baking and designing. In 2018, Ella began running a bakery from the family home, selling baked goods at her mother’s office. In 2019, Joanna confirmed that Ella was interested in being a lead designer and having a donut truck.
Nowadays, Ella attends Parsons School of Design at The New School in New York City, where she is pursuing her love for design.
“She is very into design and she has her own, unique style, so I stepped back and I let her do the whole thing,” Joanna said on the Today show in August of this year. “So, it was really what she wanted.”
Duke Gaines, 18
The couple’s second son, Duke, was born on May 23, 2008. Duke, who is currently still in high school, recently celebrated his 18th birthday and attended his high school prom, a moment that Joanna documented on social media.
It seems that Duke is following in his older brother’s footsteps, pursuing his passion for baseball as a left-handed pitcher and center fielder for his school. There is no information as to whether Duke will go to college for baseball, but it’s a distinct possibility.
Emmie Gaines, 16
The second daughter of the couple, Emmie Kay, was born on January 5, 2010 and she seems to be following in her older sister’s footsteps. In 2019, she and her brother, Duke, began selling produce and eggs door-to-door. Emmie is also responsible for raising some of the chickens on the Gaines’ family farm.
Emmie also started baking like her sister, creating a personal cookie recipe, which was “a perfect blend of a shortbread cookie and chocolate chip cookie topped with a yummy icing,” Joanna shared. She then added, “I also love what she named them in her little cookbook, ‘Emmie Kay’s chocolate chip kisses cookie.’”
Crew Gaines, 8
Chip and Joanna’s fifth and youngest child, Crew, was born on Jun 21, 2018. As the third son of the couple, Crew was the first of the boys whose name doesn’t begin with the letter “D,” but despite that and the age gap, he and his older brothers are very close. Since Crew is still very young, he doesn’t have any public interests like his older siblings yet, but Joanna has shared that he is a good helper in the kitchen.
