In her Instagram story, Joanna shared the story behind this little confession. "True story, when Chip and I were dating he asked me who my celebrity crush was," she wrote. "I quickly answered and said @letterman. This story justifies taking this picture for sure." And honestly, who could blame her? David Letterman was (and still is) a legend in his own right.

Chip Gaines: The Real-Life Love Story

Now, before Chip gets too jealous, let's remember that David Letterman has been happily married to Regina Lasko since 2009, and they have a son together named Harry. As for Chip and Joanna, they tied the knot way back in 2003 and have built an incredible life together. They're the proud parents of five children—daughters Ella Rose, 13, and Emmie Kay, 9, and sons Drake, 14, Duke, 13, and baby Crew, who's just 11 months old. It's safe to say Chip doesn't have anything to worry about.

But here's the fun part—Joanna might not have met her celebrity crush yet, but who knows? Maybe David could make a guest appearance on Joanna and Chip's new TV network next summer. The network will be spearheaded by current HGTV president Allison Page, and it sounds like it's going to be something truly special.

A New Chapter for Joanna and Chip

Joanna and Chip are excited about this new chapter in their careers. In a joint statement, they said, "Our intention with this network is to create and curate content that inspires, encourages, and helps to build bridges across our communities. We want honest, authentic programming that brings families together. We believe David Zaslav [CEO of Discovery] and the team at Discovery are the perfect partners for this ambitious joint venture, and we know Allison Page is the right person to lead this charge. We're ready to get started and are expectant for all that's ahead."

So, here's hoping Joanna and David cross paths soon. Wouldn't that be something? Imagine the stories they could share!
