Hey there, friends! Karen E. Laine, the beloved star of Good Bones, just announced that she’s officially a grandmother once again! Over the weekend, Karen shared the exciting news with her followers, proving that even in the midst of life’s challenges, joy can still shine through. Let's dive into this heartwarming moment together!
“When your baby has a baby, all the self-imposed rules about not posting pictures of kids who are too young to give permission go out the window, but just this once,” Karen wrote in a heartfelt caption on January 20. The picture she shared? Well, it was pure gold—Karen cradling the newest addition to her family, radiating pure happiness and love.
Becoming a Grandma Again: A Special Moment for Karen
This sweet little bundle of joy was born to Karen’s daughter, Kelsy Spaeth, and her husband, Neil Spaeth. Kelsy, by the way, is Karen’s child from her marriage to Randy Gray. Now, here’s the thing about Karen—she’s not just a grandma; she’s an involved, hands-on grandma who’s all about supporting her family in the best way possible.

“Kelsy and Neil are doing a great job,” Karen, 61, shared with her followers. “I’m looking forward to watching them be amazing parents and getting to spend as much time as possible with this nugget. #bege.” If you’re like me, you can’t help but smile at her enthusiasm and excitement. This isn’t just about adding another member to the family; it’s about building a connection that will last a lifetime.
Why Karen Hasn't Shared More Pictures of Her Grandkids
Now, Karen’s been pretty open about her decision to limit sharing photos of her grandkids on social media. In October 2023, she explained her reasoning to her Instagram followers. “I had the honor of driving a grandchild to his last soccer game of the season,” she said. “And, when he is an adult, he will get to decide what pictures of him will be posted publicly. Until then, it’s me, the dog, and blurry people in the background.”
It’s a thoughtful approach, one that shows Karen’s respect for her grandchildren’s privacy. In today’s world, where everything seems to be shared online, it’s refreshing to see someone prioritize their family’s privacy and well-being.
Her fans, of course, were quick to shower her with love and congratulations in the comments section of the baby announcement post. They praised Karen for being such a hands-on grandparent. And hey, who wouldn’t want a grandma like Karen? The former lawyer shared the news about her grandchild shortly after revealing her plans to leave Indiana and head to her new home in Wilmington, North Carolina.
“It’s cold in Indiana, so I’m going to head to Wilmington for a few days,” Karen told her Instagram followers on January 11. It’s clear that even as she moves forward with her own life, Karen remains committed to being present for her family.
A Season of Reflection and Renewal
Before this joyful news, Karen spent the holidays with some of her family members. But here’s the thing—fans of Good Bones are still curious about her relationship with her daughter, Mina Starsiak Hawk. During an episode of her "Mina AF" podcast in October 2023, Mina, 39, revealed that she and Karen “do not talk” following a heated disagreement during the filming of season 8 of Good Bones.

While Mina has been open about the tension with her mom, as well as her brother Tad Starsiak and Good Bones castmate Cory Miller, Karen has chosen to keep things private. It seems like these days, the DIY expert is focusing on renovating her dream home and leaving the drama behind.
“This is going to be so much fun! And I’m going to take you all along for the ride,” Karen told her followers in March 2023 while giving them a sneak peek of the house before construction began. It’s clear that Karen is all about creating something beautiful—not just in her home but in her life.
