<\/p>\n<p>The home design experts said that they immediately went into &#8220;positive mode&#8221; and tried to seek the upside in their situation, noting that there was a particular irony in the fact that they received the news after returning from vacation\u2014having experienced a similar incident after a trip to Costa Rica in 2024. <\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_15-0\">&#8220;We came back on this amazing high and I lie to you not, we were still at the airport loading our bags in our car when management and the agency called us to tell us about the show. It was insane,&#8221; Sherrod recalled. <\/p>\n<p>The moment closely mirrored another devastating return from an anniversary trip the previous year, when the duo landed back in the U.S. to discover that their production team had been cleared out.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">&#8220;Married to Real Estate&#8221; stars Egypt Sherrod and Mike Jackson confessed that they &#8220;burst out laughing&#8221; after discovering that their HGTV show was canceled, following the network&#8217;s programming purge.  <span class=\"image-credit\">(HGTV)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/na.rdcpix.com\/00e7644214e9059c8105f07eb4aca253w-c1437779350srd_q80.jpg\" alt=\"&quot;Married to Real Estate&quot; stars Egypt Sherrod and Mike Jackson recommend renovating the primary closet for a good return on your investment.\" class=\"wp-image-846310\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The couple, who announced the news of their series removal in June, opened up about the cancelation of their show while speaking to People.  <span class=\"image-credit\">(HGTV)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/na.rdcpix.com\/85d61a0ab2ed8e0c101db2d9d7c1749bw-c1759823859srd_q80.jpg\" alt=\"Egypt Sherrod and Mike Jackson forecast organic style to continue its reign in 2024.\" class=\"wp-image-846309\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sherrod and Jackson, who began showing off their renovation skills on screen back in 2022, previously explained on Instagram that they received the news about the cancelation just moments after arriving back in the U.S. following a family vacation in the Mediterranean. <span class=\"image-credit\">(HGTV)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_17-0\">&#8220;Literally, Mike and I looked at each other and burst out laughing because it was like, &#8216;What are the chances of us coming back from vacation the second time and getting this kind of news?&#8217;&#8221; Sherrod shared. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;One of the first things we said is maybe we shouldn&#8217;t go on vacation anymore. Every time we went on vacation, we would get mollywhopped with something.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>While the couple insists they found as much humor in the situation as they could, they admitted that the news did come with &#8220;disappointment and hurt.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The reality TV stars were among the first HGTV experts to announce that their show had been axed as part of a multiprogram clearout by the network, which began in the spring.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mike and I just landed back in the States after an unforgettable family trip through the Mediterranean, and we\u2019re met with unexpected news: HGTV has decided not to move forward with &#8216;Married to Real Estate,&#8217;&#8221; the couple, who wed in 2010 and share three children, revealed in a June Instagram post.<\/p>\n<p>They conceded that the situation was hurtful but were quick to express their gratitude for the team that worked so hard on their four-season series.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;While the chain of events leading up to this is disheartening, we are deeply grateful. Grateful for four incredible seasons,&#8221; they went on.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Grateful for our amazing crew and supportive fans. Grateful that our businesses continue to thrive. And most of all-grateful that we are still very much married to real estate (and to each other).&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The husband and wife duo then insinuated that there were other details they are not yet able to share with viewers, before branding the cancellation a &#8220;blessing in disguise.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There\u2019s more to say, and we\u2019ll share soon. But for now, know this: not all setbacks are what they seem. Some blessings show up in disguise. We\u2019ve been here before. We\u2019ll keep counting those blessings\u2014and keep it moving.

I can\u2019t remember it exactly, but it was like you\u2019re taking a year off of your life for every year that you\u2019re not getting a good night\u2019s sleep, so I want to be around for my kids,&#8221; she shared.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think many mothers can relate to this: We put everybody first and then wind up taking care of ourselves in the wee hours of the night or morning, and that\u2019s why we\u2019re not getting enough sleep. But then compound that with the television show, and compound that with running companies, and then also with being premenopausal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Over the course of the past three years, the HGTV series aired 44 episodes and garnered over 16.6 million views in one season, according to&nbsp;Warner Bros.
