Joanna Gaines gets emotional sending her son Drake off to college… after their lavish family trip to Saint Lucia
As I delve into the vibrant and inspiring life of Joanna Gaines, I am truly captivated by her incredible journey. From humble beginnings to the powerhouse entrepreneur she is today, Joanna embodies resilience, creativity, and an unwavering commitment to her dreams.
Joanna Gaines affectionately hugged her oldest son, Drake Gaines, before he embarked on his journey to study business entrepreneurship at the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor in Belton, Texas – a university situated just 44 miles south of their home in Waco, Texas.
“Parting ways remains just as difficult,” is one possible way of paraphrasing the original statement, while maintaining its meaning and readability. This version uses simpler language and a more conversational tone to make it easier for readers to understand.
‘Lots of love to all the parents sending their kids off to school this season.’
The twenty-year-old newcomer has already been selected as the 77th outfielder for the baseball team known as the Crusaders at a private Baptist university, which was listed among the least supportive institutions for LGBTQAI students in Texas back in 2016.
Previously, the student handbook at University of Mary Hardin-Baylor is said to have forbidden romantic relationships between individuals identifying as homosexual. In 2015, this institution was given a special allowance under Title IX, which permitted them to exclude LGBTQAI student groups based on religious beliefs.
In 2016, Joanna and her spouse, Chip Gaines, publicly backed their church, the Antioch Community Church, following a statement made by their pastor, Jimmy Seibert, who criticized homosexuality and gay marriages, and advocated for conversion therapy.
Amidst the controversy, Chip Gaines, who is 49 and known for Fixer Upper, posted on Twitter that in difficult times, they usually attend church.
On Tuesday, Gaines (formerly known as Stevens) shared multiple Instagram stories offering glimpses into Drake’s freshly-renovated university residence. These images showcased various aspects such as an almost bare fridge, a lush houseplant, a rustic coffee table setup, and a ring toss game for a fun drinking session.
The interior designer strategically placed a copy of the 2013 cookbook, Magnolia Table, Volume 3, among Drake’s books, as a way to add some variety or vibrancy to his shelf.
An enthusiastic baseball player put up an ornamental wooden plaque showcasing a saying attributed to the legendary New York Yankees outfielder Babe Ruth: “Don’t let the fear of failure stop you from enjoying the sport.”
On the previous Saturday, Joanna shared a lively collection of videos titled “Fun under the Sun” showcasing her luxurious getaway at Sugar Beach, Viceroy Resort, located on the beautiful island of Saint Lucia in the Eastern Caribbean, where she was vacationing with her entire family.
The Gaines group seemed to enjoy their adventure, which included zip-lining, exploring a waterfall, swimming at the resort’s beachfront bungalow, and indulging in the scenic charm of an 18th-century sugar plantation, sprawling 100-acre rainforest, and the iconic UNESCO World Heritage Pitons – those majestic tapered mountains.
Apart from them, they are blessed with four younger offspring as well: seventeen-year-old daughter Ella Rose, sixteen-year-old son Duke, fourteen-year-old daughter Emmie, and six-year-old son Crew.

On June 1st, after having been together since 2001, Joanna and Chip commemorated their remarkable 21st wedding anniversary by sharing an old photograph of themselves, looking inseparable in Central Park, New York City, dating back to around 2003.
Over the course of twenty-one years, you’ve possessed an extraordinary talent for transforming fleeting thoughts or hidden aspirations that I’ve kept to myself, and turning them into tangible realities, which I expressively appreciate. (Gaines)
‘What an incredible adventure, a mix of the exhilarating and serene! So thankful for the opportunity to live this life side by side, all thanks to the kindness of the Almighty.’
The Baylor University sweethearts will next co-host their free ninth annual Silobration festival taking place October 10-12 at Magnolia Market at the Silos in Waco, TX.
As a seasoned lifestyle aficionado, I take pride in sharing my journey as a co-creator of the thriving home decor and furniture company, Magnolia, which has been a part of my life for the past two decades. This brainchild of mine has blossomed into an extensive family of ventures such as Magnolia Realty, Magnolia Market, Magnolia Journal, Magnolia Press, Magnolia Network, and the delightful cooking show, Magnolia Table.
