Erin Napier Shows Off Husband Ben’s Incredible Transformation: 'He Got Hardcore About His Health'

Erin Napier, the host of HGTV's "Home Town," is celebrating her husband and co-host's remarkable health and fitness journey. Ben Napier has made significant progress since 2022, and Erin took to Instagram on Monday to share her joy.
In a heartwarming video, Erin showcases Ben's transformation.

 Dressed in an oxford button-down and chinos, Ben exudes confidence while holding a coat over his arm, accompanied by Jim Croce's "You Don't Mess Around With Jim" playing in the background.

Erin's pride is evident as she captions the video, providing more context to Ben's journey: "He made a dedicated effort to improve his health and fitness last winter, preparing for his major shoulder surgery in March to enhance his sleep and lower his blood pressure."

With a triumphant conclusion, she states, "Mission accomplished."
Ben's motivation for his hard work extends beyond the surgery. He credits their two daughters, Helen (5 years old) and Mae (born in 2021), as significant sources of inspiration. Upon welcoming Helen into their lives in 2018, Ben realized how quickly children grow and change, prompting him to prioritize his health and strive for longevity. 

Now, Erin’s showing off just how far he’s come in a sweet video.

He expressed his desire to Today, saying, "I want to experience as much of her life as possible. I want a long life so I can be there for Erin and Helen."
In a previous Instagram post, Ben reflected on his family's health challenges, sharing, "I come from a line of big men who don't really discuss their health until it becomes an issue. 

In 2014, just before his 60th birthday, my father underwent emergency bypass surgery. Suddenly, the problem that seemed distant became an immediate concern."

The couple has documented their health journey on their show, "Home Town," sharing their story with viewers during a recent season.

Ben spoke about his motivations on an episode aired prior to Mae's arrival, emphasizing his responsibilities as a father and husband. "I have two daughters, with one on the way," he explained. "As I'm getting older, I'm trying to take better care of myself."

Erin has been a constant source of support throughout Ben's journey, even playfully sharing a shirtless photo of him engaged in woodworking back in March. Alongside the picture, she wrote, "While we napped, [Ben] built travel easels for our girls."

Commenters couldn't resist expressing their admiration, with one cheekily stating, "I don't think I'm alone in saying that we'd all love a little bit of Ben in our lives."
