On the Oct. 17 episode of "Today," Chip got real, explaining, "Look, I'll give [the rumors of fears for our marriage] a little credence. For us, the most important thing in the world is Jo and I's relationship, followed very quickly by these four beautiful kids [of ours]. We didn't want to push it, to redline it for so long that we woke up and realized we are at a point of no return. We wanted to take a step back and focus on what is absolutely the most important thing to us." The HGTV stars seem to understand that fans wanted them to stay on TV forever, saying, "We've kind of all grown together. With the audience, they've come alongside with us.

Is that a wrap on Meghan Markle's acting career? Sources are saying yes!

"Meghan loved playing Rachel and feels she owes so much to 'Suits,'" the source explained. "But Harry can't move to Toronto, so she'll have to move [to London] eventually if they want to be together… Meghan knows she can't really act at the same time as being a princess and is happy to make this career sacrifice. She really enjoys her charity work with UNICEF and will broaden out her charity commitments when she becomes a full-time royal." Adding to the engagement drumbeats?
