There are a million and one reasons to love Sweet Magnolias on Netflix—but the Magnolias themselves are obviously one of the main reasons we watch! The trio as a whole (Maddie, Helen, and Dana Sue) are all amazing and deserve plenty of recognition—but how much do you know about the actresses that play them? Let's start with Maddie Townsend—aka, JoAnna García Swisher!
On the show, Maddie is a bubbly spirit who loves her children and is passionate about what she does. She's constantly figuring out how to navigate her unpredictable life in the small town of Serenity—and if you remember the last two seasons—Maddie is in the midst of an ongoing divorce (but that hasn't stopped her from sparking a new romance with her son's baseball coach! 😬). Yeah, she's got a lot going on—but that's why we adore her character the way we do!
Off screen however, JoAnna García Swisher takes on many roles! If you watch Sweet Magnolias, you may have recognized her face—and you're probably right! The actress has been in the game for some time now, so there's a chance you've seen her on your screen at some point. Here's everything you need to know about JoAnna's career, personal life, and what she's up to now!
What movies and TV shows has JoAnna García Swisher been in?
She's in... a lot! No wonder she looks so familiar. Before Maddie, JoAnna played Cheyenne Hart Montgomery, the oldest daughter on the hit sitcom series, Reba! That's right—the actress starred alongside famous actress and country singer Reba McEntire from 2001-2007. She also played the infamous teenager, Vicki Appleby on Freaks and Geeks as well as Bree Buckley on Gossip Girl. Plus, if you're a fan of reality TV, then you'd be fascinated to know that she now hosts the dating show, The Ultimatum.
Who is JoAnna García Swisher's husband?
The actress has been married to American former baseball outfielder, Nick Swisher since 2010—and the couple has the sweetest meet-cute!
She had just moved to New York City to begin her recurring role on Gossip Girl, and a friend of hers introduced her to Nick, who had just been drafted to the New York Yankees that same year. "I was never thinking about dating him," JoAnna told Glamour in 2015. "I mean, I was going to make out with Chase Crawford for a whole summer! I was just going to have fun in New York. I met Nick three days after I landed, and 10 months later we were engaged. It was pretty instant."
Do JoAnna García Swisher and Nick Swisher have kids?
Yes! The couple share two daughters together, Emerson and Sailor—and together, they make up the most adorable family!
