Chip Gaines is turning 50, and how cool is it to say he’s already in his Zaddy era?

Pabio November 4, 2024

Chip Gaines celebrates his 50th birthday. The longtime TV host celebrates his birthday on November 14, and he recently opened up about the milestone while appearing with his wife Joanna Gaines on Drew Barrymorethe show. He may not be very excited about what comes next, but I have to ask: Is it cool to say he’s already in his Zaddy era?

He’s not the only celebrity who is approaching or has just passed his birthday. Elizabeth Banks posted a funny message for her birthday after reaching 50 earlier this year. Jimmy Fallon just turned 50. Barrymore herself is also hitting the big 5-0, but she and the reality star have very different views on what the anniversary means. In the former child actor’s case, she’s pretty excited and open to what’s next, and she’s excited about turning 50. Gaines, however, has a little more trouble, as he mentioned. in a clip.

I feel opposed. I don’t know if there’s a really obvious (answer). I guess in my mind Peter Pan never turned 50, you know what I mean. When you have Peter Pan syndrome and you always evaluate yourself through this childish lens, then you ask yourself, “How can this coexist with a 50-year-old reality?” I don’t know. I feel a little conflicted.

Honestly, I’m surprised to hear him lack enthusiasm about the celebrity birthday milestone. Chip is a funny guy on TV and is generally in a positive, upbeat mood – as he notes here, he’s a perpetual “Peter Pan” personality. Plus, he seems to have a great home life, recently reaching a milestone in his relationship with Joannaand has a lot of positivity career-wise, as he also made sure to point out to Ms. Barrymore.

Now I will say that I am madly in love with my five beautiful children. Madly in love with Jo, we have been together for 21 years.

As someone who watched Upper fixer from the beginning and followed the famous couple throughout their career after their HGTV show is overThis is all a bit difficult to calculate. Chip Gaines wasn’t even 40 years old when the show aired on HGTV. It’s hard to believe that 11 years have passed since that time. Although the TV personality has aged like a fine wine, it’s still difficult to comprehend how quickly time has passed, so on one hand, I understand where Mr. Gaines is coming from.

On the other hand, I have two words: Zaddy era. Christophe Meloni at 63, he has fully embraced these two simple words and is thriving. All he had to do was introduce yourself to all Law and order and I’m wearing pants it really highlighted his strengths. Our condolences to his family, who had to manage all Meloni Zaddy memesbut also I really have no regrets about it.

And Meloni isn’t the only Zaddy! Just look at Stanley Tuccias Emilie Blunt reminded us. Or Pierre Pascalwho’s not a dad, but definitely has that zad(dy) factor.

Likewise, Chip Gaines is a man who has made fitness a priority over the years, running marathons and more and staying fit at work. He really knows how to pull off a tool belt on TV (and, as a sidebar, he once ran a marathon wearing a tool belt) and a suit coat in interviews. Perhaps, like Meloni, fully accepting the follies of one’s existence is what should come next?

Bring on the memes.
