Erin Napier sets the record straight.
On Monday, the 37-year-old HGTV star took to her Instagram Stories to confirm she’s not pregnant, citing that fans began speculating she was pregnant after she refused to appear in the latest episode from Home Town, which she co-hosts with her husband, Ben Napier.
“Re: Last night’s episode, I’m not expecting anything, I just don’t drink coffee,” the mother-of-two wrote. “I won’t wait. You don’t have to google it because we think we’re dropping cryptic clues. There are no clues. Our family is complete. It’s weird and a bit rude to keep speculating if a woman is pregnant.”

Napier and her husband have two daughters, 5-year-old Helen and 18-month-old Mae. And this isn’t the first time the mom has used her platform to speak her truth.
In an October 2022 appearance on the Townsizing Podcast, she explained that people have a distorted view of what their Mississippi town is really like.
“We actually have the internet, you know, contrary to what you might think about us right now. We have shoes and teeth in Mississippi and the internet,” she joked at the time. “I think one of the big misconceptions is that it’s podunk and backwards. There are podunk and backward people on every single square inch of this country. It’s not like a small town problem.”
“Small town America has this really rich and flavorful story to tell,” Napier added, acknowledging that changing those perceptions is a big mission for the show. “We have to work extra hard to break down the stereotypes that people already have about small town America.”
The couple certainly have their hands full this holiday season. In a Dec. 1 interview with Yahoo Life, the Napiers explained that they have a strict system when it comes to what Santa brings their daughters.
“She gets something she wants, something she needs, something to wear and something to read — so four gifts each,” Napier explained. “The humblest will come from Santa Claus. This is something we want to be aware of because I read somewhere that children go to school after Christmas and compare what Santa brought them. And the kids who didn’t get such a huge, extravagant gift, they’re like, “Don’t Santa love me that much?” We’re trying to shift focus.”
