Chip and Joanna Gaines’ Marriage Pushed to ‘Breaking Point’ With New Project

Insiders claimed that life was stressful for the couple before taking on the challenge of creating a new business.

The couple was reportedly besieged by allegations that their pricey rehabbed homes fared poorly on the resale market. In addition to market rumors, Chip and Joanna had the pressure of a $500 million media deal, all while running their Waco-based empire and raising five children on their 40-acre homestead.

“Chip and Joanna already had an incredible amount going on, but this project took it to a whole new level,” dished a source. “Somehow, they’ve managed to stay together, so far!”
