Chip and Joanna explained to the outlet how they are growing outside of their comfort zones. Fans of their television show will remember Joanna as being more consistent, reserved, and organized, while Chip was often seen as more outgoing and joked around more.

Meanwhile, Chip has taken to being a little more relaxed and encouraging, especially with his wife.

"I want to be her biggest cheerleader," Chip shared. "I'm like, 'Hey, you go do whatever. My knees are killing me.'"

The couple, who has five kids, also revealed they've been keeping busy. In September, the couple sent their oldest child, Drake, away to college, and in October they announced they would be launching a podcast network . At the beginning of November, the couple opened Hotel 1928 after completing renovations.
