Chip and Joanna Gaines announced Tuesday night that they're expecting their fifth child. And thanks to a tweet from one of the Fixer Upper stars, fans may have a clue as to when the baby is due.

On Tuesday, Chip tweeted that "a few months back," Johnnyswim gave a concert in Waco. And the concert was a little "too romantic," and it led them to conceive their fifth child. Chip may have been using his signature humor, but if he's being accurate, then it gives a clue as to when the baby was conceived.

Johnnyswim even responded taking credit for the Gaines' future child.

The duo performed at Silobration, Chip and Joanna Gaines' big event at the Silos in Waco, on October 13, 2017. Jo even took a video of their concert and posted it the next day:

Oh I love me some home... #confetti #silobration @johnnyswim

So if you add nine months to that date, then baby Gaines should have a due date sometime in the middle of July. This timeline, if it's accurate, also means that baby number five wasn't a reason Chip and Jo decided to end Fixer Upper, since they made that announcement in September. But they did say they wanted to focus on their family and their businesses, so bringing a new addition into the world may have been their plan all along.

In fact, People notes that before they announced the end of their series, Joanna said "Chip thinks we're done" having kids, even though their children always asked when they'd have another baby. But then, in late October, Chip didn't seem done at all. He told ABC 13 that he wanted to have more kids, while possibly knowing number five was on the way. "We had four babies right before the show started, and then we've had zero babies since the show started," he said. "For me, I'm really excited to go back and try to maybe...try to make some more babies."

The day before their big announcement, Jo hinted at what's to come on Instagram, saying, "New year, new hope…be expectant."
