After it was released, Chip responded to Austin with a tweet saying, “I don’t know Daryl, & he clearly doesn’t know me. But for the record: If there is ever a need w/ my family (1st), I’ll shut this circus down so fast it will make your head spin. BUT Jo & I believe, w/ God anything is possible. Including having an amazing family AND a career you love.”
Austin later wrote another story, this time forFox News, in which he admitted, “I regret writing it.” He added, “I didn’t write it to be hurtful, out of jealousy, or to cause controversy. I wrote it for one simple reason: because I believed every word I wrote to be true.”
He recently reached out to Chip and Joanna, who just welcomed their fifth child on June 21, directly asking for their forgiveness.

A representative for the Gaineses replied, letting him know it was water under the bridge, and, Austin says, it’s given him a sense of closure after a tumultuous few months. “I already respected them a lot, despite some concerns I addressed in that article, but now I respect them even more.”
