Joanna Gaines, 47, shared a peek into family life at home by revealing the sweet tradition she's been maintaining for more than two decades in a new interview on Tuesday, August 19.
"The rule is to just kind of always have something on the cake plate stand for the family or for guests," Gaines told TODAY's Savannah Guthrie and Craig Melvin of the cake stand on her kitchen island, which viewers can see on her new at-home show Magnolia Table: At The Farm.
"I got it for a wedding gift... it was the first year [I was married to Chip]... and it was empty. We had so many friends and family coming in, and I was like, 'I need to start having something in there,'" she recalled. "So it's kind of a weird rule I made 24, 5, years ago, I should know this... 23!"
"I mean it's really me now just eating the stuff," she joked. "It's now for me." That's because the Gaines kids are growing up! While youngest son Cruz is now 7 and eager to help his mom in the kitchen, her oldest two are in college and the other two are likely right behind them.

"My oldest son [Drake, 20] is now a junior in college," she shared. "I'm getting the hang of it. Every time he leaves, it's not as hard." However, she's starting the process over now with her 18-year-old daughter, Ella. "She left [for school] last week," said Gaines. "It's still raw. It feels different because she went further [away] and she's my girl. It's totally different."
Gaines is also the mom of Duke, 17, and Emmie, 15, with husband Chip, who she married in May 2003, long before building their Magnolia empire together. After years of success on HGTV with hit shows like Fixer Upper, the duo launched their own network, Magnolia Network.

Their latest project, Magnolia Table: At the Farm, gives fans their most intimate look into their real lives yet, allowing production into their actual kitchen while Joanna gives a more stripped-down and authentic vibe. “I kind of had a rule. I was like, ‘less than three people in the house and it has to be when the kids are in school so they don’t know what’s going on,’” she told TODAY of how she approached the production.
Magnolia Table: At the Farm will premiere on Magnolia Network, Food Network, and HBO Max on September 7, 2025.
