Chip and Joanna Gaines are certainly not ones to sit still for long - and their latest announcement will see them spending a lot of time away from home next year. 

The Fixer Upper duo - who live in Waco with their five children - have announced a forthcoming untitled project which will be developed in early 2024, and it will get the entire family involved! 

Chip and Joanna are teaming up with Max to lead the first ever nation-wide roller dancing competition series.

They will act as executive producers for the series, which will be a "nostalgic, family-friendly competition featuring the top roller-skating crews in America." 

Teams will be from all over the United States, including Atlanta, Houston, Las Vegas, Nashville, New York and St. Louis, and they will represent the best skaters who are ready to show what they can do.

The pair tied the knot in the very place they call home, Waco. Reflecting on the special day, Joanna told People in 2022: "My favorite moment is when we said goodbye to everybody, got in the limo, and ate so much food!

"I just remember, when we got there, I saw how good the food looked and I asked my mom, 'No matter what, will you just put some food in a container and put it in the car?'" 

She continued: "So we did our thing, we did our dance, we did all the things that you're supposed to do at a wedding. And all I kept saying is, 'I can't wait to be in that car with Chip headed to our honeymoon'. 

"And the second that door shut, I was like, 'Thank God, this is why I'm here. I just wanna be with you and I wanna eat.'"

Joanna added: "Weddings are kind of scripted and you're doing a lot. You can forget why you're really there. And for me, I was really there because I wanted to be with Chip. 

"It will always be my favorite memory — when that limo door shut, and we just ate like kids with our hands. It was Beef Wellington, mashed potatoes, and two different kinds of cake." 

Chip proposed to Joanna in 2002 after a year of dating, doing so by taking her to a shopping center without a ring, instead taking her to a friend's jewelry store inside the mall after she said 'yes' so she could design her own engagement ring.
