All your questions answered about the parents of the Fixer Upper star Joanna Gaines, Jerry and Nan Stevens: The Rumors and Their Long Romance
Who are Joanna Gaines’ parents?
Joanna Gaines is known for her work with her husband Chip Gaines in the show Fixer Upper. Although she left the show in 2017, it has continued to be a great success. She was born in Waco, Texas, in the United States of America to parents Jerry Stevens and Nan Stevens in 1978.
An active member of the US army, Jerry was stationed in South Korea, during the Vietnam War, and in 1969, was at the same party as Nan. The couple fell in love, and according to Joanna, their story “is one you hear about in the movies. All the odds were against them but they fought through and became an example of how to love, fight for, extend grace to, and honor each other amidst all their many differences.”
Jerry and Nan were married in 1972 after Jerry had returned to the US, and sent a plane ticket for Nan to join him, and although the first few years were tough with numerous arguments, after the death of Jerry’s mom, he stopped drinking and turned their relationship around.
The couple still live in Waco and are often visited by their daughter and her family. Nan helps at Magnolia Market and often leads prayer groups there as Christianity is very important to her.
Jerry Stevens was under investigation for being involved in a prostitution ring in Texas. Although his involvement was only rumored, he was fully investigated. He was found not guilty of any crime and no charges were filed.
