HGTV stars Ben and Erin Napier couldn’t be happier working together, but that does create one problem.
“The only challenge is trying to surprise each other with something,” Ben told Fox News Digital in an interview.
“Yeah, it’s real hard. We’re together 24/7,” Erin echoed.
“We have pretty much perfect communication with each other. We know everything; we have no secrets,” she added. “You can’t have a secret when you’re with someone constantly.”

All jokes aside, the biggest hiccup that comes when filming their show, HOME TOWN, is that no matter what kind of day the Napiers are having, the smiles must be on when the cameras are rolling.
“When you’re on TV, and you’re the face of it, you’re not allowed to have a bad day,” Ben shared.
“It is true. We have to fake it until we make it. We have to smile when the red light comes on the camera, no matter how hard the day is, no matter what you’re going through,” Erin continued.
Just like every other HOME TOWN fan, Erin and Ben watch the episodes as they’re released on live television. And as they celebrate their show turning 10, Erin reflected on how their lives have changed through the years.
“I watched last night’s episode for the first time just like y’all do,” she wrote on Instagram last month. “Last night, as I watched, I noticed the way age is changing me. I noticed my hair, half wavy, half flat, evidence of abandoning my hair styling at the 4-minute mark because I would rather make pancakes for the girls before leaving for work instead of staring at myself in the mirror, worrying what you, viewer, might feel about the way I look.”
“And I noticed my arms, that used to be thinner, and I smiled at the thought of how Mae mutters that I am ‘the softest mommy in the world’ when she pushes her face into me as she falls asleep,” she continued. “I have been on TV for a decade now, and years ago, I cared more about what the viewer might think. Oh, but these days I’m the softest mommy, who makes the pancakes and wrinkles up my forehead worrying if we did enough reading today. I have decided it’s delicious and comforting to be rebellious about our vanity. We can’t care about everything, mamas!”
New episodes of HOME TOWN air on HGTV every Sunday at 8/7c.
