Joanna Gaines Admits Daughter Ella, 18, Leaving the Nest Will Be ‘Harder’ Than When Son Drake, 20, Left (Exclusive)

Joanna Gaines admits daughter Ella, 18, leaving the nest will be "harder" than when her son Drake, 20, left in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE. The HGTV star shares her five kids with husband Chip Gaines.

"Ella, our second kiddo, she's graduating this year, so we're going through that again with another kid leaving the nest and trying to stay emotionally stable," Joanna says. I don't feel perfectly equipped to manage some of these very interesting modern-day things that some of these kids are going through," says Chip. Alongside Ella and Drake, Chip and Joanna are parents to sons Crew, 7, and Duke, 17, as well as daughter Emmie, 15.
