Listen, we all love Mina Starsiak Hawk, right? She's one of the dynamic duo behind Good Bones, but her family life? That’s a whole other story. Mina's been open with viewers about her family dynamics, which can be a bit tricky to follow. Her parents, Casey Starsiak and Karen E. Laine, have been through multiple marriages, and each has kids from different partners. It's like a soap opera, but in real life.
So, How Many Times Has Karen E. Laine Said "I Do"?
Karen E. Laine, the larger-than-life personality we all know from the show, has been down the aisle not once, not twice, but four times. She gave us a glimpse into her marriage history back in March 2018 during a behind-the-scenes segment on Good Bones. Let me break it down for you.
During her marriage to Casey, Karen welcomed sons CR and William, along with Mina. After their divorce, Karen remarried a man named Randy. Together, they had a daughter named Kelsy. But life kept moving, and after her split from Randy, Karen tied the knot again with her third husband, Mick. The details on their split are a little fuzzy, but life has a way of surprising us, doesn't it?

Fast forward to 2015, and Karen started sharing glimpses of her life with a new man named Roger Rominger. By 2017, she'd officially confirmed they were married, referring to him as her husband on both Facebook and Instagram. It’s a lot to unpack, but hey, life’s full of twists and turns.
Who Is Roger Rominger, Karen E. Laine's Estranged Husband?
Roger Rominger has been a part of Karen’s life for a while now, making appearances in pictures on her Instagram page over the years. HGTV fans might remember him from the season 3 episode of Good Bones titled “A Backyard Barn for Karen.”
Back in February 2017, Mina and Karen shared some tough news with fans: Roger had been diagnosed with cancer. Through all the filming of Good Bones, Karen was right by his side, supporting him through treatments and recovery. It wasn’t easy, as Mina explained during an interview with Indianapolis Monthly. “Once we got the show, we didn’t have a choice,” Mina said. “There was no more talking about the hurdles. It was, ‘Just do it.’”
In 2019, Karen decided to step back a bit from the family business, Two Chicks and a Hammer. A statement on the company’s Instagram page explained her decision: “After a long career of practicing law and revitalizing homes and neighborhoods, Karen is retiring from Two Chicks and a Hammer. She will still be part of the HGTV show Good Bones! Karen is excited to spend her time doing all the things she loves, like spending more time with Roger, sailing, hanging with her chickens, and working on DIYs for Good Bones!”
But life had more changes in store. Mina announced in August 2023 that the final season of Good Bones was being filmed. In a podcast episode, Mina revealed that she and Karen weren’t on the best terms, citing their many differences. The final episode aired on October 17, 2023, marking the end of an era.
When Did Karen E. Laine and Roger Rominger Part Ways?
According to court records reviewed by Closer, Karen and Roger filed a joint petition for legal separation on April 26, 2022. Roger later filed a petition to convert their legal separation into a dissolution on January 13, 2023. The case was reopened on October 12, 2023, and is still ongoing. It’s a tough situation, but life keeps moving forward.
