Ben and Erin Napier: A Love Story Rooted in College Days
Ben and Erin Napier, the beloved duo from HGTV, have a touching love story that traces back to their college years. Their journey began when Erin, working on an article for their school newspaper, interviewed Ben. This seemingly ordinary encounter would eventually blossom into a profound connection that has stood the test of time.
When they’re not charming viewers with their home renovation expertise on HGTV’s “Home Town,” Ben and Erin are busy building a life filled with love and creativity. Their romance took root in 2004 at Jones County Junior College in Mississippi—a place where fate brought them together for the first time.
A December Meeting That Sparked It All
The seeds of Ben and Erin’s relationship were planted during their time at Jones County Junior College in December 2004. In an interview with PEOPLE magazine, Erin fondly recalled how she viewed Ben as something of a campus celebrity—someone admired by many but still approachable to all.
Ben was deeply involved in various student organizations and had a reputation for his kindness. One particular gesture that caught Erin’s attention was his habit of sitting with students who were alone in the cafeteria—a small act that spoke volumes about his character.
However, their initial interactions weren’t without hiccups. In a humorous blog post from 2010, Erin recounted an awkward moment when she nervously tried to strike up a conversation with Ben at McDonald’s—only to feel like she had completely fumbled it. Despite this rocky start, destiny had other plans; soon after this encounter, they crossed paths again when Erin interviewed him for the school yearbook.
This meeting proved pivotal as it ignited something special between them. Remarkably, just six days later, they made the bold decision to commit to each other forever.
Their First Date: A Night To Remember
Wasting no time after reconnecting through the yearbook interview, Ben and Erin quickly moved forward with their budding relationship. Just days later on December 9th, 2004—they went on their first official date in Hattiesburg, Mississippi—a night neither would ever forget.
In her blog post reflecting on that evening years later, Erin shared how important it was for them never to lose sight of those early moments—the excitement and joy they felt during those initial dates have remained central even after more than a decade together.
She emphasized how crucial it is always remembering who they were back then—the young couple falling head over heels while sharing simple pleasures like sipping Nehi soda or stealing kisses under starry skies at four o’clock in the morning—memories etched forever into both hearts despite passing years or changing circumstances.
A Proposal Three Years In The Making
After three wonderful years together filled with countless memories both big & small alike—it became clear there could be no one else but each other moving forward too! So naturally enough—in September 2007—Ben decided he wanted nothing more than spend rest life alongside woman loved most dearly world over!

Welcoming Their First Daughter in January 2018

Revealing Erin’s Health Struggles in October 2018
In October 2018, Ben and Erin Napier opened up about a decade-long battle with an elusive health condition that had plagued Erin since she was just 19 years old. The journey was fraught with pain and confusion as doctors struggled to diagnose what was causing her severe abdominal pain that would come without warning but lingered for days or even weeks at times.
The couple endured countless medical consultations where serious conditions like cancer were considered before being dismissed altogether by some physicians who believed it might be psychosomatic. It wasn’t until an emergency exploratory surgery in 2014 that doctors discovered scar tissue binding together several organs within her abdomen—likely caused by repeated perforations from an undiagnosed ruptured appendix over many years.
Though relieved at finally having answers—and undergoing successful surgery—the news came with heartbreak: doctors informed them there was little chance they could have children naturally due to extensive internal damage caused over time; however against all odds came baby Helen bringing immeasurable happiness into their lives proving miracles do happen!

Ben’s Shoulder Surgery Recovery in March 2023
In March 2023, Ben underwent surgery on his shoulder to address several issues that had been causing him discomfort. The operation involved repairing his rotator cuff, removing an irritating bone spur, and cleaning up some cartilage.
Erin, ever the devoted wife, took to Instagram to offer a glimpse into Ben’s recovery process. She shared a photo of him resting comfortably on their couch, surrounded by cozy pillows and blankets—a testament to the care he was receiving at home.
In her caption, Erin humorously noted that Ben was fortunate enough to have “the best nurse in the biz” looking after him during his recovery. Her words reflected not only her playful spirit but also her unwavering commitment to ensuring he felt supported and loved throughout this challenging period.
Celebrating 100 Episodes of “Home Town” in April 2023
On April 25th, 2023, Ben and Erin marked an extraordinary milestone—the airing of the 100th episode of their HGTV show “Home Town.” To celebrate this significant achievement, they hosted an extravagant party filled with familiar faces from their journey over seven seasons.
Erin couldn’t contain her excitement as she shared details about the event on Instagram. She described it as a gathering that brought together hundreds of people—homeowners who had appeared on all seven seasons of “Home Town,” along with their dedicated crew members and producers from HGTV.
In reflecting on the celebration’s atmosphere, Erin likened it to experiencing a second wedding—a moment filled with joy and meaning for everyone involved. She also pointed out how rare it is for television shows to reach such an impressive milestone; only about 2.5% manage to air as many episodes as they have.
Adding his own touch of humor during this momentous occasion was Ben who playfully compared himself to Tom Selleck from ”Blue Bloods,” acknowledging both their accomplishment and its significance within television history.
Ben and Erin you are both a delight. I am a resident of a Veterans Home in western North Carolina and get such joy out of watching your show, of watching you rebuild homes for folks to live in and raise families in and make memories. Just your show has made many memories for me, I know so many of the neighbors in Laurel, Mississippi. I was once stationed at the USAF base down in Biloxi and traveled all around those gulf shores. Good people down there, and some good food. I have enjoyed spending time with you and yours. Keep making those memories. Bless you and your girls.
