WACO, Texas — The husband-and-wife team behind HGTV remodeling show Fixer Upper have announced that the popular series will end after its coming fifth season.

In a blog post Tuesday announcing the decision, Joanna and Chip Gaines write that they need to catch their breath for a moment. The couple said their family is healthy and their marriage "has honestly never been stronger."

They said they plan "to take this time to shore up and strengthen the spots that are weak, rest the places that are tired and give lots of love and attention to both our family and our businesses."

Launched in 2013, Fixer Upper follows the couple as they redo houses near their Waco home. Its final season premieres in November.
