First Chip posted a seemingly cryptic message on Instagram writing, "Hint #3 You might recall a few months back.. the ever amazing, ever romantic @JOHNNYSWIM was in Waco. And they put on a little too romantic of a concert.. anyways, one thing led to another, & we are officially pregnant. And I could not be more EXCITED! #5 #7ThePerfectNumber"
But he then quickly followed up with a straight forward pregnancy announcement showing his fake pregnancy bump next to his expectant wife.

Even though the Gaines family is expanding, their TV show is coming to a close after this season concludes.
Chip and Joanna told People Magazine in October that their surprising decision was motivated by their kids.
