HGTV Star Plays ‘Matchmaker’ for Single Crew Member Who ‘Loves Jesus’
Movieguide® Contributor
Home Town MAKEOVER star Erin Napier is putting on her matchmaking hat.
“The Home Town star, 39, took to Instagram to vouch for a ‘rising star’ on her production team who’s seemingly looking for a girlfriend. In the post, the crew member named Lohn has a big smile on his face as he poses beside Erin and her husband Ben on set,” PEOPLE reported Oc.t 22.
“PSA: this is @thatslohn and one of you single girls needs to snatch him up,” Erin wrote in the caption. “He’s 27, a rising star on the production team, the hardest worker, he’s thoughtful, always the hype man on set making everyone feel good and he loves Jesus. And he’s tall! And he’s NICE! Come on, internet — make your magic.”
Napier provided some thoughtful insight about Lohn in the comment section, too.
“What is his type? :)” someone asked.
“Got to love kids and want to have them, one marriage forever, had crushes on Angela Bassett and Molly Ringwald growing up, he’s a cinephile and loves reading, would be great if she does too, eclectic taste in music (from George Strait to Beethoven to Ray Charles to Mary J. Blige to Reba) comes from a big military family and family is EVERYTHING, so a girl who gets it!” Napier replied.
Another fan asked “How on earth” the 27-year-old is still single.
“Hard to meet girls when he’s stuck hanging out w us on set all day,” Napier said.
Another fan suggested Napier launch a new show called “Hometown Love.”
The Napiers are long-time romantics and very familiar with the concept of love and matchmaking.
“He surprises me [all the time]. This is what [our] greatest date nights are like: We’re at home and we put the kids to bed, and then he says, ‘OK, now go to the room, close the door, and when you come back out, it’ll be something special,” Erin said.…

The couple met nearly 20 years ago at their Mississippi college.
“He was like a celebrity crush to me,” Napier said of her husband, Ben. “He was the president of every club and very popular but not exclusive. I would see someone eating alone in the cafeteria, and there was Ben, pulling up a chair beside them.”
They will be married for 16 years next month.
Last year on their anniversary, Napier said, “Thank you, Lord, for 15 years in a marriage that feels like home and comfort and assurance and strength and LOVE. We are so lucky to have found each other young and grown up around each other, forming these identities. I love you, @scotsman.co. 🥹❤️”
Their college recently gave them the title of Alumni of the Year.
Napier shared on Instagram on Oct. 20, “Y’all ever had a huge crush on the popular party guy in college, then you finally meet and he’s like your celeb crush but you both fall in love instantly and decide in 6 days to get married, then get married and have babies and start businesses and then make a whole dang tv show and then that college where you met makes you alumni of the year just for having fun on the tv? how did we end up here big ben?? @scotsman.co @jones_college”
In August, Ben made a “special” announcement in honor of Erin’s birthday.
“Since it is her birthday, I figured I’d announce to the world that I’ve been in a relationship with my coworker, @erinapier,” he joked. “I can’t hide my love for her anymore. Happy birthday, @erinapier! #35mm”
