Chelsea Houska‘s life forever changed when she landed a spot on season 2 of MTV’s 16 & Pregnant. After welcoming daughter Aubree with ex Adam Lind, the reality star was single for years before meeting husband Cole DeBoer at a local gas station.

After receiving her GED, Chelsea began pursuing a career as a beautician and joined the cast of Teen Mom 2 in 2011. Chelsea married Cole in 2016, and the pair went on to welcome children Layne, Watson and Walker.

Fans have watched the South Dakota native go from struggling teen mom to successful mother of four in the years since. She and Cole even landed their own HGTV home renovation series, Down Home Fab, after leaving MTV in 2020.
