Charissa Thompson is out here living her best life, and honestly, we’re just trying to keep up. When she’s not talking sports or goofing off with Erin Andrews, she’s out on her ranch, building the ultimate dream spot. And if you’ve been following her @rubyranchlife updates, you already know she’s in her DIY era. But her latest project? It’s straight-up elite.
So, what’s she cooking up now? A bar. Because, in Charissa’s own words, “Building a bar, why not?” And honestly, why not? She shared some progress on her IG story. But this isn’t just some random setup—she’s putting in the work. She literally built the cabinet shelf herself, installed everything inside, and handled all the details like an absolute boss. She even started from the ground up—literally—sweeping the space and getting everything prepped.
The bar is inside a tuff shed, which is just one of the cool little spots she has around the ranch. Big shoutout to Josh for finishing the inside and making it look ‘legit.’ And let’s talk about the vibes. Charissa went with a classic black-and-white diner floor, snagging the peel-and-stick tiles off Amazon and sealing them with Gorilla Glue (because we don’t do weak floors around here). It’s giving retro, it’s giving cozy, and honestly, we need an invite ASAP.
But here’s the real tea—she teased a full reveal coming tomorrow, and the inspo? All She Wants to Do Is Dance by Don Henley. So yeah, this isn’t just a cute little bar—it’s about to be a whole party spot. Charissa Thompson really said, ‘Let’s turn this ranch into a vibe,’ and we’re so here for it. But there’s still some unresolved questions lingering for Thompson.
Charissa Thompson’s FOX contract is up. Is she dipping or staying?
Charissa Thompson’s future at FOX Sports is a big question mark right now. Her contract wrapped after the 2024 NFL season, and so far, crickets on whether she’s re-signing or moving on. FOX hasn’t said a word, but Charissa recently got real in her feelings about the network, calling it “family” and showing major love for how they’ve always had her back. Naturally, fans are now side-eyeing the whole thing—was this just a sweet moment, or is she soft-launching her exit?
On an episode of her Calm Down podcast with bestie Erin Andrews, Charissa spilled about how much FOX has meant to her, especially after they made her fam feel like VIPs at Super Bowl 59. “Fox is family to me,” she said, making it clear she’s got nothing but respect for the network. But with her contract up and no renewal in sight, people are starting to wonder—is she about to peace out? But, they hosted the program called “She is Football” in Tampa. So, couldn’t say anything.
Meanwhile, Erin’s in the same boat, still figuring out her own contract situation with FOX. And with Jimmy Johnson retiring and Terry Bradshaw’s future looking kinda iffy, the network is definitely entering a new era. The real question is—are Charissa and Erin gonna be part of it, or are they on to bigger things?
For now, Charissa is just vibing, juggling her Amazon Prime gig, building bars on her ranch, and living her best life. Whether she sticks with FOX or pulls a major career move, one thing’s for sure—fans are locked in to see where she goes next.
