Joanna Gaines shares ultra-rare update on older kids' personal lives

Joanna Gaines, 48, and Chip Gaines, 51, say they’re still balancing letting their children grow up while staying close as a family. Married since 2003, they share five kids: Drake, 21, Ella, 20, Duke, 18, Emmie, 16, and Crew, 8. In a rare update, Joanna told Kylie Kelce on her podcast Not Gonna Lie that their older children are already “wading into the dating pool.” She said her boys have girlfriends and her daughters will date when the time is right, but Chip is encouraging their 16-year-old Emmie to “start experimenting.” Joanna also revealed Chip has openly teased the idea of a sixth child for Crew’s younger sibling, though she says she’s not pregnant.
