Chelsea Houska stars on Teen Mom 2.
But she is now a mother of THREE.
The veteran MTV personality broke this exciting piece of news just a day after posting a picture of her 38-week old baby bump.
This means that Chelsea and husband Cole De Boer welcomed their latest bundle of joy several days earlier than her due date.
Everyone is happy and healthy, however, with long-time Teen Mom viewers undoubtedly anxious to meet the couple’s new addition.
Check out her first photo and learn her name down below…
Oh, Happy Day!
Houska alerted the world to her third pregnancy in March 2018, saying on Instagram: “….GUESS WHAT! A sweet baby girl will be joining the DeBoer clan in a few short months! We could not be more excited.”
And New Baby Makes Five
Chelsea and Cole welcomed a son named Watson in January of 2017 — and Houska also has an eight-year-old daughter named Aubree from a previous relationship with law-breaking ex-boyfriend Adam Lind.
What a Name!
“Happy birthday to YOU, sweet baby Layne,” Chelsea wrote on Instagram as an introduction to her newest bundle of joy.
Short and Sweet
Pretty short and simple and not informative, no. We don’t know her measurements yet, for example.
But Fans are Pretty Psyched!
Here’s a sampling of their responses to the above photo on Instagram. It’s nearly unanimous: Congrats all around!
A Photogenic Lady
And once you see the first official photo of little Layne, we think you’ll have no trouble understanding why fans are so smitten with the newest addition to the Teen Mom 2 family …
And Now It’s Time to Meet…
… LAYNE!!!! Houska shared this photo of her brand new child around noon PST on Wednesday, August 29.
Changes are Afoot
Houska and DeBoer sold their Hartford, South Dakota home to make more room for their new addition. They’ve already purchased a new place with an extra bedroom, along with “acreage for animals in the county,” according to Radar Online.
Houska Kept Fans Very Well Apprised of Her Status Over the Past Few Months
See this pregnancy photo as an example. She’s at 25 weeks in this photo.
And Then There Was This One
This was part of a beautiful maternity shoot Chelsea shared with her followers. You really should take a look at them all HERE.
A Very Happy Couple
Chelsea and Cole got married in October of 2016. They’ve had very little drama and he’s clearly been a very positive influence on her.
As Opposed to Lind, That Is
Just recently, on a Teen Mom 2 reunion special, Houska said the following of Cole versus Lind, who got arrested two more times in 2018: “I’m grateful that [Aubree] has someone like Cole. You know, who has gone above and beyond… there’s no doubt that [Lind’s past] has to hurt her, will hurt her, deep down someday.”
A Fairytale Ending
Chelsea’s story has had such a happy ending that she’s become something of an inspiration to TM2 fans.
#RelationshipGoals
Fans of the show who have had trouble finding the right partner or who recently got out of unhealthy relationships look at Chelsea and see reason to be hopeful for their own futures.
What a Guy!
Cole is more than just an ideal husband and a hell of a dad. For Chelsea (and for many of her fans) her represents the possibility of second chances.
Best Birthday Gift Ever!
Here’s a fun fact: Houska and Layne share the same birthday! Chelsea turned 27 the day her third child was born.
How Did Cole Greet His Daughter?
Via the same photo of Layne as shared by Chelsea and via the following caption: “Happy birthday to my sweet perfect wife Chelsea DeBoer @chelseahouska who just gave our family this beautiful blessing! Sharing the same amazing day I am so in love with our family! Our newest edition Baby Layne!!”
See Ya Later, Pregnancy Brain!
Chelsea was clearly ready to no longer be pregnant, as evidenced by this Tweet, which made us laugh out loud.
Congrats to the Family of Five!
We wish them nothing but health and happiness. You are absolutely perfect, little Layne.
