Do they always have a camera crew following them, or have they learned to shut it off?

Are their lives insanely lavish, or do they walk the line of famous, but down to earth?

Well wonder no more, because here are the HGTV stars who live surprisingly normal lives.

“It’s spring on the farm right now,” Joanna said.

I feel like everything is coming back to life here.

It’s been nice to just get outside."

Since the premier, the Napiers have had several spin-off shows and have continued to see their fame grow.

“We want to keep Helen away from screens until it’s absolutely impossible,” Erin toldPeople.

“She plays outside a lot.

That’s the goal.

That’s how we grew up and we both had a magical childhood.”

The Napiers have even gone as far as shutting down their screens and access to the bustling business world.

“It’s been the most special time of our life since she was born.”

Note to self, leave the cameras at home and go on a hike every now and then.

And despite the coronavirus pandemic, Farr has kept busy while working from home.

We love to see it.

“Taylor doesn’t like the beard,” Tarek shared.

“I’ve had this beard for like, four or five months.

If this is what their family fights consist of, then count us in.

But like all parent/child relationships, the two admit that they’ve needed breaks from each other.

Healthy boundaries are definitely a plus, especially when your mom is your co-star.

Honestly, we all know the very normal feeling of watching your personal and professional life go crazy.

“We had savings that we thought would last us for a certain amount of time.

Talk about a rags to riches story.

The two are adorable together, and as noted byPeople,had “chemistry right away.”

“We literally make each other laugh nonstop,” Scott said.

I’m usually the one who carries the romantic load.”

The gushing didn’t stop there.

“But you have to be kind, and she definitely is.”

We love to see it.

Here’s hoping that the new Magnolia data pipe will bring Shorty back to our screens.

“If we’re always on the road filming, it’s really tough to grow a family.”

When the Magnolia connection comes to our screens, we really hope that we get more Jimmy Don moments.

Of course, it helps that his real estate business, Country Living Realty, is close by.

Sounds like a perfectly normal and lovely life to live when the cameras aren’t rolling.
