"Fixer Upper" stars Chip and Joanna Gaines shut down rumors that they sold their Waco, Texas farmhouse, which has been featured in almost every episode of their HGTV reality show.

"Any report that Chip and Joanna have sold their farmhouse is completely untrue. They have not sold their home and they do not have any plans to do so," said Brock Murphy, public relations director for the Gaines-owned company Magnolia Market, in an official statement.

The rumors sparked after The Blast released a copy of the deed, showing that the famous couple sold their property to another unknown couple last Oct. 5.

However, Murphy clarified that the Gaineses just wanted their property line to match their fence line. As a result, they deeded a 0.50-acre tract to their neighbors.

Joanna also took to Twitter to clarify the rumors.

"We love this place. It's home, which means more to us than anything! Remember if it didn't come directly from us it's probably NOT true," she said.

The rumor comes just weeks after the couple announced that the fifth season of "Fixer Upper" would be their last. This announcement sparked more rumors about the pair, particularly marriage troubles. Chip quickly debunked via Twitter, saying, "Won't ever happen," as Joanna is the love of his life.

The couple then clarified that the move to quit their show was done to focus more on their family and four children — Drake, 12, Ella, 11, Duke, 9, and Emmie Kay, 7.

The couple bought their then fixer upper Waco property in 2012 and spent a year and a half renovating it — from a two-bedroom house to a beautiful home that could accommodate their family of six.

"After living in nine different homes, we were ready to settle on some land and stay a while," said Joanna in a blog post that detailed their restoration of the property.

She added that living on a farm has always been a dream, "and we were excited when it finally became a reality."

"Fixer Upper" season 5 premieres Tuesday, Nov. 21, 9 p.m. EST, on HGTV.
