What’s New With Good Bones Host Mina Starsiak Hawk

It’s been quite a year for Mina Starsiak Hawk! While we’ve always known (and loved!) the Good Bones’ host for her strength and straightforward approach when it comes to home renovations, this year she’s stepped up to some major challenges and changes in her career – and in her personal life. She’s a new mom who just gave birth to baby #2 (you have to see the pictures we have for you!). The new arrival comes after navigating the ups-and-downs of a difficult fertility journey. Career-wise, she’s taking on total home transformations and stepping up to new business roles as her mom transitions into semi-retirement. Let’s catch up with Mina as we prepare to see it all on an incredible new season of Good Bones.

Taking on a New Role

In her business, Mina has stepped up in a big way as well. Now that her mother, Karen Laine (who is the co-founder of their renovation company, Two Chicks & A Hammer) has retired from the day-to-day operations, Mina has taken the reigns and the lead. We’re looking forward to seeing how this plays out in Season 5 of Good Bones!

Showing Her Strength

Motherhood and family have been huge priorities for Mina in the past few years. While Mina and her husband, Steve Hawk, are already parents to their much-loved son, Jack, they wanted to grow their family. While they had difficulty conceiving their second child, Mina showed her trademark tenacity and inner strength – and shared the challenging journey with her fans and supporters.

Fertility Struggles

After their first attempt at in vitro fertilization (IVF) was not successful, Mina and Steve faced incredibly difficult news: Mina’s doctor felt that they had a less than 1 per cent chance of conceiving a sibling for Jack. After considering multiple options for their family’s future, Mina and Steve decided to try an intrauterine insemination (IUI) fertility treatment. Though the chances of getting pregnant were still slim, they attempted the procedure. They received some surprising news just 12 days later…

Coming This Fall

While the process certainly wasn’t easy, Mina and her family were looking forward to baby Charlotte’s arrival in September 2020. The gender of the baby hadn’t been announced at the time but but the colour of the nursery was revealed; it’s Sherwin-Williams’ Rhinestone.

Sweet Tooth

While Mina’s family continues to grow, her relationship with hubby Steve, got off to a bit of a rocky start. The couple’s first date was at a baseball game. Mina wasn’t impressed with Steve’s lack of attention but he redeemed himself on subsequent dates. The couple tied the knot on June 11, 2016. The down-to-earth couple substituted a traditional wedding cake with 400 donuts! A sweet tooth seems to run in the family.
