HGTV’s Egypt Sherrod Celebrates Special Occasion Amid Work on New Renovation Shows

Egypt Sherrod took a moment to give her husband, Mike Jackson, a sweet social media shout-out as they continue to work on their upcoming projects.

On Wednesday, November 11, Sherrod celebrated Jackson’s birthday with a heartfelt Instagram tribute. “You deserve to be celebrated, not just for what you do, but for WHO YOU ARE. And I pray you never forget how deeply you are loved,” she wrote, asking fans to show their love for Jackson in the post’s comments.

“If you’ve ever laughed with Mike, worked with him, been encouraged by him, watched us on television, or simply enjoyed the joy and authenticity he brings into the world, PLEASE HELP ME FLOOD HIS COMMENTS WITH LOVE!!!” she continued. “I want this man smiling from ear to ear ALL DAY LONG!!! Happy Birthday, baby. Of all the things we’ve built together, the life we’re still building is my favorite.”

Jackson hopped in the comments to thank his wife, writing, “Thank you my love. My fellow Scorpio life partner. I thank God for you daily baby.”

Fans fulfilled Sherrod’s request, filling the comments section with birthday messages for Jackson. “Happy Birthday Mike. Wishing you many many more. Enjoy your day!!!” one user wrote. Another added, “Happy birthday! You and Egypt are the best! Loved watching your show and miss the show so much!!!!! Beautiful couple and family!”

Someone else shared, “HBD. Hope you have a great day celebrating with your Beautiful Queen!” A different person posted, “Happy birthday, hope you have a super fantastic day. I love watching yall show. Enjoy.” A separate commenter stated, “Happy Birthday, Mike. Have a great day. We miss not seeing you on TV.”

Jackson gave fans a glimpse into his birthday celebrations in a Wednesday Instagram post of his own. “My heart is full. Give me some family, friends, and karaoke….I’m good lol,” he captioned a video of his loved ones singing “Happy Birthday” as he blew out his cake candles, followed by footage from the group’s karaoke night. “Safe to say we were sangin, in our ‘in the shower’ voices.”

Sherrod and Jackson tied the knot in 2010, after which Sherrod became the stepmother of Jackson’s eldest daughter, Simone, whom he welcomed during a previous relationship. The couple went on to welcome two daughters: Kendall and Harper.

The pair made their HGTV co-hosting debut with the premiere of their flagship series, Married to Real Estate, in 2022. The home renovation series was canceled after four seasons last year. Since then, the couple has been hard at work on a handful of new shows, including Home Abroad With Egypt and Mike and Deserving Design.

“Sometimes a setback is a setup for a QUANTUM LEAP,” Sherrod captioned a behind-the-scenes filming clip via Instagram on August 28. “We are back to business. New show loading!”
