When you’ve noticed a headline on a doubtful web site claiming to have intel on Chip Gaines’ “coronary heart assault,” you are not alone, as a result of we have noticed a bevy of them, too. Nonetheless, with neither Chip nor Joanna Gaines saying something about it themselves, we’ll go forward and say that is much less of an “untold fact” about Chip and extra — properly, nonsense.

On the off probability that you have not seen any of the headlines, here is the gist of it: apparently, Chip suffered a coronary heart assault in 2019 — not simply any coronary heart assault, although. In response to one of many aforementioned doubtful websites, Chip had a probably lethal widowmaker coronary heart assault. Although it isn’t exceptional for folks to outlive widowmaker coronary heart assaults, the percentages aren’t nice, and MercyOne estimates that solely round 12% of people that have one will survive. 

With figures like that, it is a bit unlikely that Chip would have had a coronary heart assault and not spoken about it. In spite of everything, though he and Joanna left HGTV in 2018, they went on to begin their very personal Magnolia model quickly after, so there would have been loads of alternative for them to say it in one among their reveals (or heck, even put out an announcement from their model). Plus, Chip’s e-book “No Ache No Gaines: The Good Stuff Would not Come Straightforward” was launched in 2021, and once more, there was no point out of a coronary heart assault. Contemplating the e-book delved into the challenges he is confronted and overcome over time, one thing tells us the time he survived a coronary heart assault would have cracked a point out.

So, if Chip Gaines did not have a coronary heart assault, the place did the weird rumor come from? From the seems of it, his weight reduction was used as a place to begin, with one web site claiming he’d shed 20 kilos after surviving a widowmaker. Nonetheless, as followers of the Gaineses will seemingly recall, Chip really misplaced weight whereas getting ready for the Silo District Marathon.

ICYMI, again in 2018, Chip began his very personal marathon in Waco, Texas. This, after assembly a pair on a run in Central Park and asking in the event that they thought he’d have the ability to get into it himself. Chip ended up studying that one of many runners, Gabriele “Gabe” Grunewald, was a most cancers survivor who had began a basis utilizing her personal monitor report as a runner to boost cash for most cancers analysis. Chip cherished the thought, began coaching, established the now-annual Silo District Marathon, and misplaced a bunch of weight alongside the best way (no widowmaker concerned). 

One hurdle (see what we did there?) that Chip endured on his weight reduction journey was a minor damage. As he wrote for Magnolia Journal, he developed tendonitis and was suggested by a physician to sit down out the complete marathon in favor of the Silo District Marathon’s 5K. In fact, Chip being Chip, he did not. Even so, it’s fairly noteworthy that, as soon as once more, coronary heart well being performed no position in his damage or capability to finish the marathon. Chip could have had a couple of tragic moments in his life, however a coronary heart assault hasn’t been one among them.
