Despite the well-documented struggles, the couple has a combined net worth of $100 million, in large part thanks to HGTV's Fixer Upper. There's a lot that goes on behind the scenes and, according to a former co-worker, the two stars have different approaches in-between takes.

Fans on Reddit have a lot to say about the couple. Let's be clear, these statements aren't really backed up and pure speculation. Though they are worth examining nonetheless.

Let's take a closer look.

A Reddit User Who Worked With Chip And Joanna Gaines Called Their Styles Of Filming Completely Different

It is hard to believe for fans of Fixer Upper, but the show made its debut over a decade ago already, on May 23rd, 2013. The HGTV couple continues to enjoy success. However, online, fans feel as though the couple has been "over-exposed" since the show made its debut.

Over on Reddit, a fan raised their concerns:

"I used to be a fan of theirs but I feel like they've gotten way over-exposed. What does everyone feel about them? Authentic or fake? Do any of you know them IRL? Are they like their on-air personas or are they totally different when the cameras are off?"

There was a user that issued a response over a year ago, and gave some added clarity on what it is like working with the couple. The user claims the two are the same off-camera, but in terms of Chip and Joanna, they couldn't be more different in-between takes.

"I’ve worked on three of their shows. They’re pretty much the same as they are off camera. Chip is loud and obnoxious like he is on tv but in a harmless jock way. He’s friendly. He definitely plays up his personality for the camera but that’s part of making good tv."

As for Joanna, she's all business between takes, and prefers to shoot a scene once.

"Joanna doesn’t like filming more than she has to and is a one-take wonder. She’s a consummate professional. I’m always really impressed by her when we’re on set, she’s incredibly natural in front of the camera. They have so many businesses at this point that I don’t think she has the bandwidth to put on a fake persona."

Other fans also chimed in on the Reddit thread, but weren't as positive. Most of the users went after Chip, and how he has changed over the years. The general feeling was that he was more annoying than ever before and hard to watch... ouch.

Despite "annoying" fans, Chip Gaines has a net worth of $50 million.

A Different Reddit User Was Surprised By How Closed Off Joanna Gaines Was In Reali-Life

On the flip side, this particular user actually praised Chip Gaines' behavior at the restaurant, while knocking on Joanna Gaines. A thread was started by a fan that suggested the relationship dynamic between the two has changed since the show started. A particular user agreed, and documented their own experience. From the Redditor's point of view, Chip was far more approachable.

"This is very anecdotal, but my family and I ate at the same restaurant as their family last year. Chip was laughing with the kids and having conversations with all of them. Joanna sat there and talked to the nannies."

The user continues, "As they were leaving, they had to walk right in front of our table. My mom, being a huge Fixer Upper fan, said hello and waved as they walked past. Joanna looked at us, rolled her eyes, and kept walking. Chip smiled, said hello, and waved back."

The fan went on to note that the experience completely changed his perception of the two.

"I was previously NOT a fan of Chip and much more keen on Joanna, but watching him with his kids, being present and having quality time, versus Joanna directing photos and otherwise seeming pretty sour, definitely altered my perceptions of the two of them."

Take the claims for what they're worth. It could also be that Joanna was having an off day, and just didn't want to be bothered.

Joanna Gains also has a net worth of $50 million.

Fans Got To See How Different Chip And Joanna Gaines Really Are During A Recent Interview With Kelly Clarkson

There might be something to the change between Joanna and Chip's relationship. That was on full display during their interview alongside Kelly Clarkson. During one particular moment, the audience gasped after Chip revealed his biggest disagreement with Joanna.

He said, "Early I would I buy these houses, and she would throw a kind of temper tantrum. I would bring her to this house, total no-brainer, it needed some work. Jo would just burst into tears."

"She was conservative. Really logical family that you got to college, and you don't go to jail." Clarkson hilariously interjects herself, "Hold on, that's stuff that a lot of people agree on, that's not weird."

Joanna kept composure throughout the story, though she might've been burning deep down...
