Erin Napier is adding matchmaker to her already stacked resume.
The Home Town star, 39, took to Instagram to vouch for a “rising star” on her production team who’s seemingly looking for a girlfriend. In the post, the crew member named Lohn has a big smile on his face as he poses beside Erin and her husband Ben on set.
“PSA: this is @thatslohn and one of you single girls needs to snatch him up,” Erin writes in the caption. “He’s 27, a rising star on the production team, the hardest worker, he’s thoughtful, always the hype man on set making everyone feel good and he loves Jesus. And he’s tall! And he’s NICE! Come on, internet — make your magic.”
Erin’s enthusiastic description of Lohn doesn’t end in the caption. She kept going in the comment section in response to a fan’s question: “What is his type? :)”
In her lengthy response, she notes, “Got to love kids and want to have them, one marriage forever, had crushes on Angela Bassett and Molly Ringwald growing up, he’s a cinephile and loves reading, would be great if she does too, eclectic taste in music (from George Strait to Beethoven to Ray Charles to Mary J. Blige to Reba) comes from a big military family and family is EVERYTHING, so a girl who gets it!”

Another follower hilariously suggested Erin put her matchmaking skills to use in a potential new HGTV show.
“Napiers out here with another show concept: Hometown Love 😂,” the comment read. Erin responded, “Honestly not a bad idea,” and tagged the producer of Home Town.
In response to a different comment that questioned “how on Earth” Lohn is single, Erin explained it’s “hard to meet girls when he’s stuck hanging out w us on set all day.”
Erin and Ben have starred in the fan-favorite HGTV series Home Town since 2016. The series documents their process of restoring historic properties in their home base of Laurel, Miss.
In February, they announced their spin-off series, Home Town Takeover, will take place in Sebring, Fla. for season 3. In the show, the couple work with a large team to revitalize a small town so young residents will want to stay and newcomers will want to visit.

Erin and Ben might be the perfect matchmakers for Lohn, as they know a thing or two about true love themselves.
The college sweethearts first met almost 20 years ago while attending Jones College in Mississippi. Erin previously opened up to PEOPLE about her first impression of Ben.
“He was like a celebrity crush to me,” she said. “He was the president of every club and very popular but not exclusive. I would see someone eating alone in the cafeteria, and there was Ben, pulling up a chair beside them.”
Sparks really flew after she interviewed Ben for the school yearbook, and six days later they determined they were going to get married, she recalled. Ben popped the question in September 2007 and the couple tied the knot a year later in November 2008. They share two daughters together: Helen, 6, and Mae, 3. “Thank you, Lord, for 15 years in a marriage that feels like home and comfort and assurance and strength and LOVE,” she wrote. “We are so lucky to have found each other young and grown up around each other, forming these identities. I love you, @scotsman.co. 🥹❤️”
