The girls of Teen Mom live their entire lives in the public eye. Fans have a lot to say about their intense drama, but did one go too far with a recent post?
Chelsea Houska has long stood out on Teen Mom 2 for her lack of drama. In a loving marriage with two healthy children, Chelsea seems to have it all.
But recently, when a fan criticized Chelsea for her treatment of her daughter, Chelsea did not hold back. She sounded off in a fiery response online, which isn’t like the former 16 and Pregnant star. What could have set her off?
Chelsea is known as one of the cooler heads on the franchise. Chelsea is happily married to Cole DeBoer. They are raising their son, Watson, along with Chelsea’s daughter Aubree from her baby daddy Adam Lind.
In fact, some fans think Chelsea may have outgrown Teen Mom. Reddit user Nutz4reality speculated, “I think that Chelsea is ready to step away from the cameras. I feel her scenes are very choreographed and precise. She wants everyone to think her life is great ( and don’t we all want to show a perfect life to our friends) and her life is probably near-perfect and we surely aren’t going to see any cracks on her MTV scenes. I feel that some of the other girls, show a more realistic life. She has outgrown the show and should go live her life without cameras.”
However, her life has not always been so calm. Aubree’s father, Adam Lind, was originally featured on 16 and Pregnant with Chelsea.
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, has asked the Circuit Court of Minnehaha County to suspend his parenting time with their daughter Paislee.
Radar Online shared shocking text messages and social media posts that were submitted to the court as evidence of his character. 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.”
Though his case with Taylor is new, Chelsea has long kept Adam under strict limits for his visitation with Aubree. However, Chelsea was shocked when he blatantly violated his custody agreement and posted it on social media! “Chelsea let his parents have [Aubree] for a couple of hours,” a friend of Chelsea’s spilled to Radar Online after Adam posted a picture of him and Aubree together outside of their custody agreement. She let them spend time with their granddaughter even though the source says, “It wasn’t their time to have her.”
Fans were then surprised to see Adam posting a picture of him and Aubree hanging out at her school together only a few weeks later. Chelsea quickly clarified on Twitter: “The agreement states he’s allowed to attend one school lunch a week if he chooses and to attend events such as concerts etc. I appreciate you guys looking out for me and my girly though.” She also pointed out that this was the first time Adam had gone to a school lunch with his daughter.
Despite Adam’s shortcomings as a father, Cole has gladly stepped up to support Chelsea and her daughter. Twitter user @_cecilymaureen shared, “If there’s anything to be learned from Chelsea & Cole’s marriage is that there is someone for everyone out there. Don’t settle for a person that doesn’t look at you the way that you look at them. If Chelsea would’ve kept chasing Adam, she wouldn’t know happiness.”
Chelsea will need Cole’s full support soon as they welcome baby number 3! Chelsea revealed that she and Cole are expecting another baby… and this time, it’ll be a girl!
“….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 DeBoer’s first time raising a 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 was quick to share more details with fans. She shared that her due date is in September, but she’s expecting an early arrival. “But I’m thinking she’ll come in August because I tend to have my babies a couple weeks early!” Chelsea said, adding, “We’ll see!”
Long before Chelsea confirmed her third pregnancy, fans were spreading baby rumors when she began wearing flowy shirts that seemed to hide a growing bump. Fans were right to be suspicious!
Now that the secret is out, Chelsea is sharing her “pregnancy fashion” styles with fans: “So far it consists of leggings and hoodies cause it’s freezing here 😂” she said. “We’ll see how I keep myself together in the summer though! I remember summer was miserable when I was pregnant with Aubree!”
She’s been getting loads of love from her co-stars. Leah Messer congratulated her on Twitter, along with Kailyn Lowry, who wrote: “So happy for my babies! @ChelseaHouska & cole & fam!”
Her 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,” Randy Houska wrote on Twitter.
Chelsea has even been spilling her decor plans. “Does anyone else feel like most of the baby girl stuff is TOO ‘foofy’ ?! I want more options than just pink everything,” Chelsea recently tweeted. We fully expect this baby to be dressed in flannel just like her mom!
But there’s one thing she’s not willing to share: her baby’s name. 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.”
To correct the rumors, Chelsea clarified, “I think he said ‘tweetie’ to be specific Hahahaha.”
However, fans love the name Quinn! “It would be a seriously adorable name,” wrote in Twitter user @jflo8675309. “Quinn Deboer just has a ring to it.”
Chelsea quickly responded and shut it down, writing “It’s a cute name! But we already have a name set for our little punkin!” Chelsea also did a mini question and answer session with all of her fans who want to get to know her better. During the session, we got some major hints about what she’s going to name her daughter!
One fan asked, “Is your baby girl’s name gonna have an -ee name like Aubree?” Chelsea replied, “Nope!”
Another fan asked her, “Do you have any names picked out for your baby girl yet?”
Chelsea replied: “i think so, but that’s one thing we like to keep till they are born!”
In the meantime, Chelsea has also been open with fans about the difficulties of her third pregnancy. “The back pain I’ve been experiencing during this pregnancy has been something ELSE,” Chelsea recently shared. She added, “I literally feel like she’s growing into my back instead of my stomach.”
She revealed that this complication is particularly difficult because it’s her first time experiencing it. “I never had it with either of my other pregnancies,” she shared. “And I’m only 19 weeks.” She added, “[I’m] scared for when I actually have a huge belly.”
She’s even shared that she has some fears about going into labor! “I have a question for the mamas!” she wrote on Twitter. “If you went into labor naturally, were your second/third labors LONGER than your first or FASTER? My first was 4 hours, second was 1hr 20min.” She added, "I’m scared this next baby is gonna fly right out.”
Luckily for Chelsea, she has her faithful Teen Mom 2 friends to help guide her. “It’s hard to tell chelsea!” Kailyn shared on Twitter. “Mine were 13 hours, 16 hours then 1.5 hours. Lol judging by yours history she might fly out.”
Chelsea responded to her co-star, “Omg I forgot you had a fast one with Lux too!”
In addition, Chelsea seems to be concerned over the timing of her labor with Cole’s schedule! “OMG I’m so scared that coles gonna be at work and I’m gonna go into labor at home with both kids here with me,” she wrote, adding, “Gonna start prepping Aubree for labor duties!”
Though her nerves are normal, this pregnancy seems to be going smooth for Chelsea overall. “This one is almost identical to how I felt with Aubree,” she wrote on Twitter. “Lots of energy, feel pretty good, not gaining as much weight as fast.”
She even already has a plan for how to get back in shape after she gives birth: “For sure gonna be taking a lot of walks with the kids once the weather is nice!”
But Chelsea might not need a weight loss plans, as she has been carefully taking preventative measures. In fact, many fans are concerned about her eating habits. Some even believe that she might be promoting unhealthy weight loss!
The concern began when Chelsea shared on Instagram that she was embarking on a journey with a weight-loss company during her pregnancy: “Hey!! I’m so excited to be able to finally share with everyone my weight loss journey after having Watson with @profile_sanford #ad I’ll be blogging my entire journey, including how this has helped me make better choices during my current pregnancy, telling my fav profile foods and recipes and so much more that I love about Profile!!
Chelsea offered fans, “If you’re ready to get started and join me with Profile, use my code: CHELSEA for 50% off a membership!!!” before continuing, “Best decision I made after Watson and its helped me so much to remain healthy during this pregnancy!!”
Even though Chelsea seems pumped to share (and profit from) her new partnership, fans were less excited. “Shady,” wrote Reddit user charcuterie_bored. “Seems like a typical d-list celeb money grab. I highly doubt she actually used this specific program to lose weight.”
“Like, we get it. You lost a ton of weight after Watson. Big whoop. But now claims it was this program (told her ‘fannzzzz’ it was keto) and is now pregnant shilling this?” wrote user makeupaddikt08. Fans expressed concern that the products could be unhealthy during pregnancy and that Chelsea promoted them despite limited knowledge of their impacts. Some even worried that Chelsea could be suffering from an eating disorder!
However, those rumors are likely unfounded. Chelsea’s quiet personal life and lack of drama on her segment frequently lead to fan speculation about what goes on behind closed doors. Viewers even question Chelsea’s private nature!
Reddit user metalhead35 posted, “I have a theory that her mom is one of the only people who won't stick to topics Chelsea wants discussed on air or go along with what she tells her say. It would explain Chelsea side eyeing her the whole time they're filming and acting bitchy and distant. We saw her be kinda mean/surprised with her friends when they said something she didn't like before so that's when I thought of it. I could be wrong obviously.”
Though Chelsea rarely speaks out on social media on these wild theories from fans, someone went too far this past week and Chelsea felt the need to speak out on Twitter regarding the accusations.
“Ok I usually don’t do this,” Chelsea began in a tweet, “but I just saw a comment from someone (who was dead serious) saying ‘omg have you guys noticed that Chelsea’s daughter is always in an oversized T-shirt and sweatpants for bed...get her some pajamas’ and I am DYING.” She continued, “Some of the things people find to b**ch about” and ended with a crying laughing emoji for emphasis. She later added, “The comment said ‘like she’s not 14, get her pajamas’ ...i guess a comfy t shirt and sweats isn’t considered jammies till you are 14 lol.”
Fans quickly came to her defense! User @britny_walter questioned, “What’s wrong with that for BED? You are sleeping.”
@TheDocsPond17 tweeted at Chelsea, “Lol some people have no life.”
@LeaKetchum supported Chelsea’s parenting and shared, “I wore my moms T-shirt’s to bed my entire childhood lol.”
Chelsea replied, “yes!! Me too haha”
Chelsea’s efforts to appear perfect for TV have rubbed some viewers the wrong way. Reddit user Gettys63 writes:
"I don't particularly like Chelsea...especially Randy. I think they both are arrogant and feel like they think they're above others. I think some of the arrogance is due to Chelsea being the most settled and successful in their eyes…I do think if it wasn't for Randy's money and support, things would be alot different for her…I think she and Randy consider themselves to be above the other girls's drama. She's just collecting a paycheck and doesn't need the show, and Randy likes the attention. I don't care for her segments because they're boring to me, and Cole is as exciting as a wet dish rag…I don't think I'd particularly like Chelsea if I knew her… I would not miss her at all if she wasn't on the show."
Twitter user @lilfootx_box reminded Teen Mom 2 viewers, “Chelsea on a bad day is still better than Jenelle on her best day.”
However, Reddit user lalalandjil offered a different interpretation, writing: “Chelsea has an arrogance about her. Shes never struggled like the other moms because her dad paid for everything…I can see Chelsea being all about her,” before conceding, “Shes one of the best moms on the show and I am happy for her having another baby with Cole.”
MDL1994 suggested that maybe Chelsea’s standoffishness is not arrogance in a post that reads: “If I watch earlier seasons I always suspected Chelsea to be depressed. Every simple task feels like a mountain to climb as she makes it seem. I feel like she can barely muster up the energy to get out of bed some episodes. And the crying to Randy about wanting to be happy and not feeling happy. Breaks my heart every time.”
