The couple first announced that they are ending "Fixer Upper" after season 5 on Joanna's blog in late September, saying that they needed to take a break for a while for the sake of their relationship as well as their relationships with their kids.

The Gaines also mentioned that they will still continue renovating homes in Waco, Texas despite the end of their show. "We aren't done designing things to make your home your favorite place on earth. We aren't done working towards restoration in all things or helping out those who could use a hand. In fact, in all of these things, we are just getting started," they also said.
HGTV will air the fifth and final season of "Fixer Upper" on Tuesday, Nov. 28.
