- Joanna Gaines became famous through Fixer Upper
- But what is her origin?
- These are Joannes Gaines' roots
The American couple Joanna and Chip Gaines have enjoyed great success since the airing of Fixer Upper. That's when interest in the two grew. Many fans want to know what are the roots of Joanna Gaines.
The multi-talent was born in Wichita, Kansas, but Joanna grew up in Texas – where she still lives with her family today. But their origin is a bit more complex. These are her origins: Her mother is from Korea and her father is half Lebanese and half German.
Joanna Gaines is proud of her multiracial heritage
So Joanna is half Korean, one-quarter Lebanese and one-quarter German. Today she is particularly proud of her multi-ethnic origins. Unfortunately, she also had to endure unfortunate experiences in her childhood. She says was teased by other children for her Asian origins.
While she didn't know how to respond to that as a child, she knows perfectly well now. Joanna Gaines, who hasn't changed much visually compared to when she was young, talks about the experiences she had as a child and emphasizes how important Korean culture is to her today.
The Fixer Upper star fully explained in an interview with People honestly that she would like to live more freely. "Shortly before my 44th birthday, I realized that the last ten years had been a total blur for me. Everything was fast, exciting, and there was so much to be thankful for, but something inside me was just so tired. I wanted to turn back time and find the moments I missed back then," revealed Joanna Gaines.
