Bec and Jack would be proud!
The Pearson family car has a new set of owners.
After serving Jack and Rebecca for many years (and many trips) on the emotional family drama, This Is Us, actor Chris Sullivan revealed that the 1990 Jeep Grand Wagoneer was purchased by HGTV Home Town stars Ben and Erin Napier.
In an Instagram video shared on Monday, Sullivan, who played Kate Pearson’s (Chrissy Metz) husband (and ex-husband), revealed how the transaction went down.
Sullivan and his real-life wife, Rachel Sullivan, purchased the vehicle from the show’s producers following the end of Season 6 earlier this year.
However, the actor explained in the clip that there were actually “two family Wagoneers.”
“And guess who bought the other one?" he quipped as the camera panned to the Napiers, who can be seen driving the second Jeep.
"Rachel, Chris, thank you for telling us about this Jeep," Ben states in the clip, adding, "If you had not told us that they were selling two — not one Pearson family Jeep but two..."
His wife cuts in, noting that “‘This Is Us’ doesn’t need this Jeep anymore,” before questioning what they should name the car.
Ben suggests they name it “Jack” after the family patriarch actor Milo Ventimiglia brought to life. After all, it was his Jeep.
However, his wife adds that “Rebecca makes sense, too,” as the matriarch, played by Mandy Moore, drove the car after Jack’s death.
When Erin states that they can call the car “Becky,” Sullivan and his wife interject, adding that the only appropriate nickname is “Bec.”
Eventually, Sullivan offers up the only logical solution: "One of (the cars) is Jack and one of them is Rebecca.”
While the video doesn’t reveal which car is which, one fan exclaimed: “Chris’s is def Jack and Erin & Ben’s is def Bec.”
The comment section lit up with elated fans praising Sullivan for ensuring the cars went to good homes.
"My worlds collide!!" wrote a fan of both couples.
“Can we talk about how similar you couples are though?! And now with matching wagons!” another added.
A third quoted a popular line from the show, writing: “No lemons with these 2, only lemonade! 🍋”
Sullivan—who is a vintage car enthusiast—initially bought the car in May, telling Entertainment Weekly that his wife was “charmed by the car,” and adding that the Pearson Wagoneer is “the only kind of vintage automobile that has ever sparked my wife’s interest."
