It seems like Tad Starsiak might be extending an olive branch to his sister, Mina Starsiak Hawk, as they navigate their ongoing rift. The beloved star of Good Bones expressed heartfelt gratitude to his sibling after the show's series finale aired on television. This moment of reflection comes as Tad acknowledges the pivotal role Mina played in the show's success.
Good Bones has been a family affair since it first premiered in 2016. With Mina and her mom, Karen E. Laine, at the helm, they’ve invited friends and family to join in on the renovations. Tad quickly became a fan favorite, thanks to his sharp wit and infectious humor that brought a unique energy to the show. Now, as the series comes to an end, Tad is reflecting on the journey and the relationships that made it all possible.
A Sincere Thank You from Tad
On Friday, October 20, Tad took to Instagram to share a carousel of behind-the-scenes photos, captioning the post with a heartfelt message. He wrote, “To all the fans, I feel like you all watched me grow up, and there’s something truly special about that connection. I want to thank everyone who helped shape me into the person I am today—Lenny, Terry, Brad, Cory, Mina, Adam, Zack, and so many others. But most importantly, I want to thank Mina and Karen. Without the two of you, none of this would have been possible.”

This isn’t just a casual shoutout; it’s a deeply personal acknowledgment of the people who’ve supported him throughout the show’s run. It’s clear that Tad understands the importance of community, both on and off the screen.
The Journey Comes to an End
“Woah! It’s been quite the week, and life has been moving fast,” Tad reflected in another post. “On Tuesday, the final episode of Good Bones aired on @hgtv. Wrapping up an eight-year journey that I’m incredibly grateful to have been a part of. I’ll need some time—weeks, maybe months—to fully process all the emotions that come with saying goodbye to something so meaningful.”
The series finale was nothing short of emotional, focusing on the renovation of Tad’s new home in Bates-Hendricks, Indiana, and his engagement to Anna Spiars. It’s a bittersweet moment, marking the end of an era but also the beginning of a new chapter.
“I know that my family and friends were given an incredible opportunity to do what so many dream of,” Tad continued. “We got to shine a spotlight on my favorite place, Indianapolis, and in some ways, put it on the map for others. We made a lot of people happy and excited by tuning into a new episode of Good Bones every Tuesday, offering them a little escape from the chaos of everyday life.”

A Family Rift Amidst the Celebration
While the final episode of season 8 seemed to paint a picture of harmony between Mina and Tad, the reality behind the scenes tells a different story. Mina recently revealed that she distanced herself from her brother following a heated text exchange.
“My brother Tad said some really hurtful things to me, and I’m sure he would argue that I’ve said some hurtful things to him too,” Mina recounted during a September 18 episode of her “Mina AF” podcast. “But the most recent things he said to me are undeniable. They’re in text, black and white, and that was the final straw for me.”

Mina went on to explain that she decided Tad was no longer a positive influence in her life. “He’s not a good person for me to be around,” she stated. Despite the challenging family dynamics, Tad has remained optimistic about what’s ahead.
Looking Forward to New Adventures
“Many people have asked if I’m sad the show is ending, but honestly, I’m ready for the next adventure,” Tad concluded in his post. “New landscapes, new opportunities—sometimes, the best things come from endings. I’m excited to see what’s next.”
Tad’s words are a testament to resilience and optimism. While the past may hold its share of challenges, the future is ripe with possibilities, and Tad is ready to embrace them wholeheartedly.
