Chelsea Houska has come a long way from her 16 and Pregnant days. On Teen Mom 2, she has it all! In a loving marriage with two healthy children, Chelsea is a happy stay-at-home mom.
She is married to Cole DeBoer and they are raising their son, Watson, along with Chelsea’s daughter Aubree from her baby daddy Adam Lind. The couple revealed this spring that they are expecting one more!

However, her life has not always been so picture-perfect. Adam, was originally featured on 16 and Pregnant with Chelsea. While she and Adam were still young, they constantly fought over Adam’s involvement and financial support of his daughter. Chelsea’s friends, family, and even her fans begged her constantly to leave him and never look back, but because Chelsea wanted to keep her family together, it wasn’t so easy for her.
The couple is no longer together, which seems to be a blessing for the happy family. Adam has struggled with drugs and alcohol, and his behavior has left those around him questioning if he should be involved in his children’s lives.
Adam’s second baby mama, Taylor Halbur, asked the Circuit Court of Minnehaha County to suspend his parenting time with their daughter Paislee. Chelsea revealed on the season premiere of Teen Mom 2 that Adam’s custody of Aubree had already been drastically reduced.

Adam is only be allowed to see his daughter one time a month, and it would have to be at a visitation center. During the series premiere, Chelsea also revealed that she is still battling with Adam over massive amounts of child support.
"[Adam’s] having issues, of course, so visitation is supposed to be at a visitation center,” Chelsea explained on Kailyn Lowry's podcast Coffee Convos. “But he has to set it up, which he doesn’t. He’s also allowed to have lunch at her school once a week… and he just recently went to his first one.”
Radar Online shared shocking text messages and social media posts that Taylor submitted to the court as evidence of his character for their custody dispute.
One of his mildest posts was a meme that read, “When that hit of cocaine starts to kick in.” Another was a Facebook status that read, “Late nights and drinking at the shop.”

One comment posted by Radar read, “We will be for too drunk this weekend for all that noise. Bon fire my place I got baby girl so gunna be nice chill night close friends and cold beer.”
Then Adam added, “Gimme a few beers and let’s go downtown bar hopin.” Drinking while he had their daughter wasn’t the worst of it; he also wrote, “Well by the amount of dope I do I’ll be up for 3 days. My vision is getting weak from old age… and I got the shakes from withdrawals from all hard drugs I do… so sorry.”
Chelsea has not let the drama from her first baby daddy hold her back in her own life. She and Cole announced their second pregnancy together in March.

“….GUESS WHAT!” she wrote on Instagram on a picture of an ultrasound. “A sweet baby girl will be joining the DeBoer clan in a few short months! We could not be more excited! 🎀”
This will be Cole's first baby girl, and he shared the picture on his own Instagram as well. “This proud dad is getting a new Bow…and it’s nailed my heart,” he wrote.
Chelsea shared this picture of her growing belly on Twitter. She captioned it, “Here’s the wittle bump since everyone’s been asking lol this pregnancy has been a breeze so far and I feel pretty d*mn good!”
She also got loads of love from her co-stars. Leah Messer congratulated her on Twitter, along with Kailyn, who wrote: “So happy for my babies! @ChelseaHouska & cole & fam!”
Chelsea’s parents also weighed in to say that it wasn’t always easy keeping this exciting news a secret.

“I would like official recognition from @ChelseaHouska that @ritahouska and I are the most awesome secret keepers,” he wrote, tagging her on Twitter.
Since the announcement, one favorite topic of speculation has been the future baby’s name.
In March, Chelsea did a mini question and answer session with all of her fans who wanted to get to know her better. During the session, we got some major hints about what she’s going to name her daughter!
A fan asked her, “If Aubree hadn’t been named Aubree, what would you have named her?”
Chelsea replied, “I was JUST telling Aubree the other day the names I considered for her haha. I think it was Payton and Brynn.”
“Did you guys pick a unique name for little girl DeBoer like you did for Watson?” a fan asked Chelsea on Twitter, referencing Chelsea and Cole’s one-year-old son.
“I don’t think it’s really ‘unique’!” Chelsea replied.

She then dropped a huge hint, revealing that the name is unisex! “I’ve definitely seen/heard it before on boys and girls!” she wrote. She added, “We just like the name.”
Fans wrote in with a number of guesses, including Avery and Blair. In the meantime, Chelsea has been shooting down false rumors about her name selection. After a Teen Mom gossip website reported that Chelsea would be naming her daughter “Penelope Grace,” claiming that Chelsea was using her own middle name as inspiration, Chelsea tweeted, “Lol!... [Definitely] not the real name and also not my middle name! I don’t know why people do that hahaha.”
Recently, there was another rumor going around about Chelsea’s name selection. “Chelsea is naming her new baby Willow,” speculated reddit user countlesscourt.
They shared a picture of Chelsea cooking up a batch of chocolate covered Rice Krispies treats, which she captioned, “Making @TM.PI and Baby Willow a treat.”

Some questioned the hint. “I didn’t figure she’s name this baby anything with a W as that would leave Aubree out,” wrote CertainlyNoPatience.
“Did I catch baby Willow?!!” asked Twitter user @b*tchinXbriit18.
Chelsea responded, “My friend just had a baby, named Willow. And we are going to meet her today.”
Some fans think that Chelsea and Cole accidentally let the name slip in a recent Instagram post of their daughter’s 4D ultrasound! “Ok but did @ChelseaHouska say Quinny in her instagram story on the way to the 4D ultrasound?! Is she naming her baby girl Quinn???” wrote Twitter user @blissfull_daze. “I NEED TO KNOW ANSWERS.”
Chelsea responded, “Whaaaa? Nope! lol i think you’re referring to what Cole said and he said ‘sweetie’ in a weird voice.’”
Another fan, Twitter user @KaitlynBabb, wrote, “I thought he said ‘twitty’ like Conway twitty? Lol.”
Chelsea clarified, “I think he said ‘tweetie’ to be specific Hahahaha.”

In May, Chelsea was adamant on Coffee Convos that she would not reveal the name. Chelsea also said that she will not be naming the baby anything ending in “-ee.” There has been gossip that the “-ee” names are a Houska family tradition, but Chelsea denied that rumor. She maintained that the other “-ee” names, her niece Braylee and Aubree’s half-sister Paislee, are just coincidences. Chelsea did reveal that one person on Teen Mom 2 knows the name—Kail!
The new baby’s name has not been the only naming drama in Chelsea’s life. Chelsea has been in the midst of changing Aubree’s name for months now, ever since she tied the knot with Cole DeBoer. She’s explained that in an effort to make sure Aubree feels like part of the family, she wanted to change Aubree’s name to Lind-DeBoer. After all, even Chelsea and Aubree have different last names!

After months of court time, Chelsea finally managed to get Adam to agree to changing Aubree’s name… but it wasn’t without Adam putting up a fight.
In a Teen Mom 2 scene, she revealed to her father Randy that Adam “will be willing to agree to the name change if [we] eliminate child support, adjust child support, or take into consideration [Cole’s] income. Obviously he’s fine with doing it, but he’s trying to [get something out of it.] Why would we eliminate child support to hyphenate her last name?” She revealed that Adam wanted to eliminate close to $10,000 of back child support he still owes her in addition to future child support.
On Kailyn’s podcast, she revealed luckily Adam eventually agreed to the name change without too much fuss.
Kailyn’s co-star Lindsie opened up that she was also a child of a blended family, and her step-mother ended up legally adopting her.

She explains that the change made her feel more part of the family, leading Kailyn to ask for Chelsea’s thoughts on the matter.
“Is adoption something that you would want to happen?” Kailyn asks. “Or have you guys talked about it?”
It seems that Cole legally adopting Aubree has been on Chelsea’s mind, but she’s not sure how Adam would feel about it. “In a heartbeat, Cole would do it,” she says. “But that’s something that [Adam] would have to allow that to happen or just be completely gone.”
While other Teen Moms draw attention for their drama off-screen, fans complain that they don’t see enough of Chelsea and her crew…including the four legged members!

“Lolll of course we still do [have it],” Chelsea explained. “I’ve said this before but when there’s a crew of 6-10 people plus Cole me& the kids in my not so huge living room, my animals get anxiety. I’ve found it’s easier to have them downstairs…when everyone is there
Twitter user @uhmandahugnkiss asked, “Girl, you okay? You and Cole have been MIA for days and I'm starting to worry!”
She replied, “Been BUSY lol getting ready for baby girl!”
Chelsea shared, “I’m 32 weeks tomorrow! Had a few preterm labor scares, but the last few weeks everything has been okay! So just trying to get prepared now...can’t wait to meet her”
Fans on reddit were psyched for the news! GirlsesPillses wrote, “I wouldn't be surprised if she goes into labor in the next few weeks, she always has her babies early. Just praying the babe is healthy!”

Noakai added, “Two of her sisters were born premature too so I guess it runs in the family.”
Chelsea supported that on Coffee Convos, telling Kail, “All of my babies have come early so my doctor doesn’t think I’ll make it to 40 [weeks].”
Another topic on fan’s minds? How Chelsea is staying so slim throughout her pregnancy! She chose a natural route for her amazing weight loss after giving birth to Watson last year. Chelsea has shared her weight loss methods in the past, but now she’s sharing a tip that seems to explain how she managed to drop so much weight.
“How did @ChelseaHouska lose her baby weight? Need tips!” wrote one of her fans on Twitter.
Chelsea quickly answered, “Low carb?“
"I’m on a strict/low carb diet,” she emphasized. “It was not easy! But I’m 10lbs less than I was before I got pregnant, so it’s been worth it.”

“She also does Crossfit, working out and lifting,” another fan chimed in according to OK Magazine.
But busy mom Chelsea pointed out, “I wish I still did CrossFit ? I haven’t been to a gym since I was pregnant haha.”
They say you can’t outrun a bad diet, and Chelsea seems to have done most of her work in the kitchen. Now she has cleared up one tip that seems to have helped: Cauliflower everything!
She shared an image on Instagram that explained the way she diets. “Welcome to your 30s,” it reads. “A cauliflower substitute has replaced all the carbs you love and the only joy you get is watching shows about murder.” She captioned picture, “I’m not even 30 but this is 10000000% accurate for my life ??”

It’s not always easy for the star, though. “It sucks,” she wrote on Twitter. “Today I made banana bread and tacos for the fam while I ate my chicken and asparagus.”
She manages to make things a little bit better by planning ahead. “I do easy/quick meal prep. Lots of chicken breast and broccoli microwave steamers!” she shared.
Whatever she is doing, it looks like it's working. It seems like she'll have no trouble dropping any extra pounds after she gives birth to her third baby.
