Hey there, friends. Let’s dive into the heartwarming start to 2024 for Erin and Ben Napier, the beloved hosts of Home Town. Surrounded by their two precious daughters, Helen and Mae, this Mississippi family ushered in the new year with joy, laughter, and plenty of love. In true Napier fashion, they shared a glimpse of their special New Year’s Eve celebration with fans, giving us all a little peek into their charming lives.
Ben, who just turned 40, gave his followers a behind-the-scenes look at their special day via his Instagram Stories. At 38, Erin joined in on the fun, capturing moments that reminded us all of the simple joys of family life. One adorable snapshot showed Ben hosting an impromptu tea party with his daughters, using a charming vintage tea set. The next day, the family cozied up by the fire, enjoying some quality movie time together. Now, that’s my kind of celebration!
Big Plans for a New Season
As the New Year begins, Erin and Ben are also gearing up for the premiere of a new season of Home Town, set to air on January 7. Fans of the show can expect even more heartwarming renovations and inspiring stories. In the season opener, Ben is recovering from shoulder surgery, which means he’ll need some extra help. Lucky for him, his best friends, Jim Rasberry and Josh Nowell, are stepping in to assist Erin with renovating a home for a family ready to leave the chilly Canadian winters behind. Talk about teamwork!

Ben’s Journey to Health and Wellness
Back in March 2023, Ben underwent shoulder surgery to repair his rotator cuff, shave down a bone spur, and trim his cartilage. While recovering, he kept his focus on another important journey—his weight loss transformation. This journey began back in January 2018, right after the birth of their daughter Helen. Fast forward to today, and Ben has successfully shed over 95 pounds. He’s feeling healthier and more energized than ever before.
Ben opened up about his motivation during an interview with Entertainment Tonight in November 2023. “We’re all trying to be healthier, live better, and live longer,” he explained. “I knew I needed to take some weight off. There was this moment during an interview where my shirt wouldn’t stay buttoned, and I thought, ‘That’s not a good look.’ It was a wake-up call. I was already working on it, but that really pushed me to keep going.”

Support from Family and Fans
Ben’s health transformation has been met with an overwhelming amount of support from both his family and fans. For Erin, watching her husband work so hard in the gym and adjust his diet has been incredibly rewarding. “I want him to live forever,” she shared with the press. “That’s what I care about.”
Just days before Christmas, Ben proudly showcased his dramatic weight loss in a selfie taken in front of his beautifully decorated Christmas tree. In the caption, he joked, “This Santa got a jump on gift wrapping,” while sporting a festive Santa Claus T-shirt. It’s clear that Ben’s dedication to his health and happiness is truly paying off, and his family couldn’t be prouder.
