Ella Rose Gaines, the 17-year-old daughter of home renovation royalty Chip and Joanna Gaines, has finally settled the debate about which famous parent she takes after most. In a candid revelation that might surprise Fixer Upper fans, Ella has shared insights into her personality and future aspirations.
The Great Parenting Debate Solved
While many might assume Ella would follow directly in her mother Joanna's stylish footsteps, the teenager reveals it's actually her father Chip's personality that shines through most strongly. "I'm definitely more like my dad," Ella confessed during a recent family discussion, describing herself as "the entertainer" of the family - a trait Chip Gaines has become famous for on their hit HGTV shows.
A Creative Spirit with Big Dreams
Despite her father's influence on her personality, Ella hasn't ruled out inheriting some of her mother's talents too. The high school student has been exploring creative writing and poetry, showcasing a blend of both parents' strengths. "I love to write," she shared, hinting at potential literary ambitions that might combine Chip's storytelling charm with Joanna's eye for narrative.
Growing Up in the Magnolia Spotlight
As the fourth of five children in the Gaines family, Ella has grown up in the public eye alongside her siblings Drake, Duke, Emmie Kay, and Crew. The family's Waco, Texas-based empire has expanded dramatically from their original Fixer Upper series to include the Magnolia Network, numerous retail stores, and hospitality ventures.
The Next Generation of Gaines
Ella's revelation comes as she prepares to embark on her own path after high school. While she hasn't confirmed whether she'll join the family business, her creative interests and inherited entrepreneurial spirit suggest the Gaines legacy is in capable hands. Her ability to identify which parent has shaped her most demonstrates a self-awareness that will likely serve her well in whatever career path she chooses.
The Gaines family continues to captivate audiences with their genuine dynamic and successful ventures, proving that whether you're more Chip or more Joanna, there's room for every personality in the world of home renovation and beyond.
