Chip Gaines reveals past struggle with 'Fixer Upper' fame: 'I lost a part of myself'

"Fixer Upper" star Chip Gaines reveals to Oprah Winfrey how he's dealt with the pressures of fame

In a clip from the interview, the talk show host presses the couple about how they've dealt with their success. Noting that living in the public eye can be difficult, especially when so many people "know your name," Winfrey questioned if Chip, 46, and Joanna, 42, "were grounded" before they became known worldwide. "I want to speak on Jo's behalf, because she would never say things like this, but she is so incredibly wise, so incredibly grounded — all the things that you just described, is who Joanna is," Chip says on behalf of his wife in a clip shared by People.
