Fall is off to a bittersweet start for Joanna Gaines and her family.
Not only has her son Duke, 18, gone back to school, but he has done so for the last time, as he kicked off his senior year of high school.
The Magnolia founder however is cheering him on every step of the way, including at his homecoming football game.
The doting mom took to Instagram and shared a glimpse into the special night, capturing Duke in his full football get-up.
"Homecoming '26! Senior year for my Dukeman. #16 Feeling all the feels," she wrote, and fans were quick to take to the comments section under the post and gush over it, also remarking on their disbelief that he is almost about to graduate.
"He's a senior already! It seems like yesterday they were all little kids on Fixer Upper," one wrote, as others followed suit with: "I can't believe Duke is a senior! I have watched Fixer Upper from the very beginning when all the kids were little. Y'all have done a great job raising your kids!" and: "What?!?!?!?! How is that even possible!!!" as well as: "This is bittersweet. I'm a huge fan & still watch your shows & use them as my background noise for things. Duke is still little in my head!"
