From ‘Home Town’ to Hollywood! Inside Erin and Ben Napier’s Friendships With A-List Stars

The married Home Town stars have made a lot of new A-list friends over the years!

“It’s been very cool to get to meet people who are actually famous,” Erin Napier said on the “LandonTalks with Kate” podcast. “I don’t think of us as famous. But we have met people who are.”

Closer takes an inside look at their famous pals.

Drew Barrymore

After appearing on Drew Barrymore’s daytime talk show in 2021, the couple became close pals with the actress. So much so, that when Erin needed a dress for the 2022 CMA Awards, she reached out to Drew, who, in turn, reached out to Marchesa to help find her a glitzy gown.

Sheryl Crow

Always on their side! During the pandemic, the duo invited Sheryl Crow down to Wetumpka, Alabama, to perform a socially distanced concert for the locals.

“She told us how much it meant to her that we were so invested in small town America because she’s from a small town,” Erin shared with House Beautiful.

Chris Stapleton

Fire away! When it comes to navigating fame, Ben Napier and Erin turn to the country star and his wife, Morgane, for advice.

“We met their family and became friends right at the beginning of this,” he told ET. “It was impeccable timing for us because we had never been in front of the camera or out in the public eye. We learned a lot from them.”

Jonathan Scott & Zooey Deschanel

On the podcast “LandonTalks with Kate,” Erin recalled a time when she and Ben went over to Zooey Deschanel and Jonathan Scott‘s home for dinner.

“They’re a match made in heaven,” she said of their fellow HGTV star and his “fantastically hospitable” fiancée. “They want everyone to be so comfortable.”
