'Fixer Upper' star Chip Gaines shuts down divorce rumors

Chip Gaines is shutting down any rumors that he and his wife Joanna are getting divorced.

The "Fixer Upper" star took to Twitter on Friday to clear the air after a fan tweeted that they were "sick" of the stories claiming that the HGTV couple was breaking up.

"Won't ever happen.. you can take that to the bank!" Chip sweetly wrote.

The HGTV couple, who also own a slew of businesses -- including a new vacation rental -- in Waco, Texas, have been married for over 14 years. They have four beautiful children together -- Emmie, 6, Duke, 8, Ella, 9, and Drake, 11. Though they've chosen to keep their kiddos out of the limelight, they occasionally make appearances on their home renovation show.

A number of rumors have plagued the Gaines family since their hit show debuted in 2013, including one that claimed Joanna was leaving the show to start her own beauty line. The DIY-guru slammed the rumor in a blog post, wisely advising that "you can't believe everything you read."

Speculation about a baby No. 5 has remained over the years, but the two can neither confirm nor deny that they would be open to having another kid in the near future.

And while it seems like all is well with home renovation couple -- phew! -- there is someone that Joanna should watch out for. The mother-of-four recently revealed that her husband has a major man crush, understandably, on Ryan Reynolds:

"Chip loves Ryan Reynolds. I'm sure he has a man crush on him. He likes to go back and forth with Scott Foley."
