Erin Napier Shows Off Husband Ben’s Best Qualities: ‘This Is What You Want’
On March 22, Erin took to Instagram to share video and photos of Ben in action: sawing a log, fixing household appliances, boating, and rocking a sweater.
“I need the single girls to know, this is what you want: a man who can do things, move things, fix things, loves Jesus,” she explained in the caption.
“And also look right in a fisherman sweater,” the HGTV star added.
Fans flooded the comments section to share how much they adore the couple. “I love your love,” one fan noted.
“Thank you Erin and Ben for showing us how married people should treat each other,” another fan commented.
“He is the perfect man … for you!! Y’all are the cutest!” one fan shared.
Another fan noted, “There are all kinds of great partners. Mine is a straight-laced, nerdy accountant who doesn’t like fix-it jobs, but is more than willing to pay someone else to do it! And I get my taxes done for free.”
One follower commented, “You guys are truly one of the most beautiful love stories I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing.”
Erin Napier Shared the Beginnings of Their Love Story
In December 2025, Erin took to Instagram to give fans a look at how it all began for her and Ben in college.
Along with college photos, Erin noted in the caption, “The day before I actually knew Ben Napier was December 6, 2004. I had loved him for a long time, but he didn’t know that.”
The HGTV star continued, “Freshman year I watched him eat with the person sitting alone in the student union. I watched him with his arm around pretty girls, always the president of the club or leading the student section’s cheering. He was huge. The way he lived his life, a human party. All 6’6″ of him.”
“The few times we’d spoken, I fumbled it by not knowing how to say ‘hello’ without giving myself away, without telling him I’d like to marry him and have his babies,” she wrote. “You can’t say things like that to an acquaintance. So instead I went with cool indifference the few times he tried to be kind to me.”
Erin explained, “On December 6, 2004 I didn’t know that in 7 days he would tell me he loved me, and that he wanted to marry me. *it’s love week.”
She shared more details of those early days throughout the week, with a December 8 Instagram post explaining, “December 8, 2004. Spent the day with my celebrity crush. Wanted to kiss him. Too scared to go for it. We’ve all been there???”
Erin shared other details, including a night at a loud club together and their first kiss. “December 10, 2004. Best kiss of my life (up to then 😄),” she wrote.
For the love of god, COULD YOU PLEASE DO ONE EPOSIDE WITH NO GREEN!!!!
