Karen E. Laine Reunites with Good Bones' Cory Miller After Mina Starsiak Hawk Revealed They Aren't Speaking

Two months after Good Bones ended, two of the show's stars, Karen E. Laine and Cory Miller, spent some quality time together.

On Sunday, Laine shared an Instagram photo of Miller, who served as project manager on the long-running HGTV series, writing, “@cory_miller30 (aka @millerbuilt_llc) visited my little Wilmington house! So much fun and nice to have an extra brain, and good attitude, for problem solving.”

Good Bones, on which Laine renovated Indianapolis homes alongside her daughter, Mina Starsiak Hawk and their team, wrapped up its eight-season run in October. The duo started their business, Two Chicks and a Hammer, in 2007.

While fans of the show expressed excitement to see Laine and Miller back together, the happy reunion came just days after Starsiak Hawk revealed that she and Miller are no longer in touch.

In last week’s episode of her podcast, Mina AF, Starsiak Hawk answered a question from a listener, who asked whether she and Miller were still friends, as they no longer follow each other on Instagram.

“So, there’s been enough questions about Cory that I’m going to try to address this in a respectful way, again, understanding that I have a platform that he maybe doesn’t have,” she said. “Cory and I are not on speaking terms. I am positive that there are things he feels like I did to him, and I’ve known him since he was 11, and I’ve always had a soft spot for him.”

She shared that there were "a couple things that happened towards the end" that she decided she "can’t move on from."

​​"I just don’t want that energy in my life,” she added. “I’ve got a lot of amazing people, and part of that means not hate-following or not anger-following like, ‘Let me see what this person is doing.’”

“So many people on social media follow people just ‘cause they want to see them fail or fall down or look fat in a picture or whatever it is,” Starsiak Hawk continued of her reasons for not following. “And I’m just not interested in that. I don’t want other people to do it to me.”

“I just kind of wanted to separate that out from my world, and he probably wanted to do the same,” she continued. “It’s a super bummer because I have historically had a great relationship with Cory, and when things end particularly like they did, people’s colors just show a little more, which is a blessing because then I have the choice to make a different choice.”

In a September episode of Mina AF, Starsiak Hawk noted that “the boys” from her team seen on Good Bones weren't actually employed by her anymore, despite being part of the show.

“Austin [Aynes] was the most recent employee, but Tad [Starsiak] and Cory haven’t [worked for me] for a long time,” she said. 

Starsiak Hawk has also been candid about tensions with her mom, revealing on her podcast in August that the pair weren’t “in a great place.”

When filming the final season, she told PEOPLE in an exclusive interview, “There were definitely some challenging [moments] because my mom and I were in some of the most challenging places I felt we've been.” In the season premiere, for example, she said, she and her mother had just had “a knockdown drag-out [fight] during demo.”

“I was like, ‘I wonder if anyone's going to be able to tell,’” she said. “And of course, you can't because that's the idea. People . . . that's not why they're tuning in to watch Good Bones. That's not what they want.”
