In the world of family expansion, Chip and Laura Bennett have just announced some incredible news — they are expecting their fifth child! Chip took to Instagram last night to share this joyous announcement, and it seems like fans are just as thrilled as the couple.
If you’re a true fan of their home renovation show, you might recall Chip and Laura often mentioning “number five” in previous seasons. It turns out their desire to grow their family has finally come to fruition. During the premiere of the latest season, Chip dropped hints on social media before making the big reveal with an adorable photo of himself and Laura showcasing their baby bumps (though Chip’s might be from indulging in tacos!). Laura looked radiant and glowing, and the caption read, “Bennett party of 7… (For those still unsure, WE ARE PREGNANT).”
In an unexpectedly candid moment, Chip shared how their newest addition came to be — through a romantic concert date night. Their four children, Ethan, 12, Lily, 11, Max, 9, and Sophie, 7, are likely overjoyed by the news. Laura had previously expressed her hopes of adding to their family, saying, “I would love another baby — or even twins! The kids always ask, ‘Mom, can you have another baby?’ But Chip thought we were done.”
It appears Chip had other plans, as he openly expressed his desire to expand their family during a recent interview. “We had four babies before the show started, and since then, we’ve had none,” he shared. “I’m really excited about the possibility of having more little ones around.”
Hints of this baby news have been sprinkled throughout social media, with Laura recently sharing posts of her baking and sorting through baby clothes. It seems she’s been preparing for this new chapter!
Last night’s premiere was fittingly themed around family and new beginnings, featuring the Bennetts assisting Laura’s sister and her husband in renovating a home in their town, and in the midst of it all, the exciting news of expecting a sixth child was revealed. This holiday season is sure to be filled with joy and perhaps just a bit more chaos for the Bennetts!
With the show nearing its final episodes, fans may not get to witness their new arrival’s growth on-screen, so let’s hope Laura keeps sharing those precious moments on Instagram. We all can’t wait to see the nursery she designs!
