Ben and Erin Napier reflected on where they used to secretly make out during their college years. The HGTV “Home Town” stars admitted they snuck a few kisses when they both worked at the local hospital.
Ben & Erin Napier Had a Secret Makeout Spot in the Hospital
While discussing their connection to the hospital in Laurel on the March 8 episode of “Home Town,” Ben and Erin shared that they both worked there in college when they were dating.
HGTV posted a clip from the “Home Town” episode, in which Ben and Erin shared that there were a lot of memories made in that hospital.
“When we were in college, I was a pharmacy tech here in the hospital,” Erin said.
Ben shared, “When we were dating, I got the job in the transport department for the physical therapy department.”
Working in the same location allowed them to share some meals — and some kisses.
“And we would meet up and have breakfast and lunch together in the cafeteria,” Erin noted.
Ben added, “And make out in the elevator.”
“A little bit,” Erin added. “Sometimes.”
In the clip, Ben and Erin checked out the hospital’s postpartum room, explaining how it hadn’t changed since her stay there in 2014. “And I swear it looks identical. Nothing has changed,” Erin said.
Erin Opened Up About Emotional Connection That Left Her in Tears at the Reveal
On March 8, Erin took to Instagram to share why this “Home Town” renovation was so special to them.
“TONIGHT I didn’t intend to become so emotionally attached to our local hospital @scrmc over my lifetime, but here we are,” Erin wrote.
The HGTV star continued, “I was born here in 1985. My dad was a department head here for 44 years. This one lovely jeweltoned but cozy room in the maternity ward received me after 2 surgeries, then at my most terrified, going into labor 3 weeks early with Helen, then when Mae was born here too.”
“This is the room where we met Lucy, then where Lottie came into the world during the pandemic. It’s the room where Jesse and Lauren’s babies were all born and my kids met their brand new first cousins,” Erin shared.
She noted, “This is the room where mine and Jim’s grandmother met her first great grand child. And tonight, the hospital invites us to update it along with a few other rooms in maternal child. So, I am as invested in this renovation as I would be in a family home.”
“I’ve always felt God’s hand in these rooms through the doctors and nurses and the food that was honestly soul comforting, and I guess that’s why I cried (no sobbed? Wept??!!) like a crazy person at the reveal.”
