In case 2024 didn’t already start off with enough good-natured home renovations spearheaded by loving couples, HGTV is here for it. The latest season of Home Town is set to arrive, with “never apart” couple Ben and Erin Napier ready to bring their restoration skills back to fans watching on cable or streaming with a Max subscription. The new eps were filmed following Ben’s surgical operation in early 2023, while also coinciding with his weight-loss journey, and the recovery process was a bit of a struggle in some ways.
For one, Ben Napier was understandably prescribed pain medication to help ease the process of rehabbing after having surgery on his rotator cuff. And they apparently made him quite loopy, which he fully realized was an issue while giving a public speech at a Southern Baptist college several days after the surgery. Speaking with People, he called it quite the wild experience, saying he “could not keep a train of thought” while on stage, though wasn’t lacking in confidence.
