Jillian, who gave birth to daughter Annie in September 2018, was pregnant while filming the first half of the fifth season – and it wasn't always easy. "I had a really difficult pregnancy and then I went back to work with a five-week-old," she says. "I was just exhausted and miserable for the first three quarters of the season. Trying to be happy-go-lucky and funny on camera is not always the easiest when you’re 40 pounds heavier and you’ve got a human living in you."Love it or List it Vancouver12 Things You Didn't Know About Jillian HarrisShe Was Pregnant While Filming the Current Season

"With both of our kids I didn’t do a super juvenile design," she says when describing baby Annie's nursery design. "I like a space that is a bit more timeless and [something] that kids can grow into. With Annie’s room, I feel she’s going to love it when she’s three or four and I think she’s going to love it when she’s five or six.

Jillian is <em>so</em> close to reaching the much-coveted Instagram milestone of one million followers. What will she do to celebrate? "Drink! Just kidding. Todd says, ‘just close down your Instagram,’" she laughs. "I think I'll thank everybody. It’s been an awesome journey. I would say 99.9 per cent of people are lovely and supportive and kind and resilient. There is obviously a downside that comes with having an online presence; you put yourself out there and people could say some really nasty things, but luckily there’s a Block button and it works really well."Love it or List it Vancouver12 Things You Didn't Know About Jillian HarrisShe Almost has 1 Million Instagram Followers!

It's undeniable that Jillian and co-host Todd have great onscreen chemistry, but like any professional relationship or friendship, it can require a bit of work. "It’s like asking a pastry chef how he makes his croissants so fluffy. We have to work on our relationship," Jillian explains. "Sometimes we actually really do annoy each other and we don’t like each other, but we know we just have to get over it and move on. Otherwise it’s not fun for the viewer."Love it or List it Vancouver12 Things You Didn't Know About Jillian HarrisShe Gets Along With Todd – Well, Most of the Time
