Chelsea Houska and her husband, Cole DeBoer, have been doing well since their departure from Teen Mom 2, with the couple now set to star in a new home renovation show on HGTV. Since MTV debuted 16 & Pregnant in 2009, teenagers who had their pregnancy and first months of motherhood documented on camera have ended up becoming household names. 17-year-old Chelsea was featured during 16 & Pregnant season 2; fans may remember ex-boyfriend Adam Lind sending a rude text message that referred to their daughter, Aubree, as a ”mistake“ in her episode. Viewers of Teen Mom 2 were delighted when Chelsea and Cole were first seen together in 2015 and praise Cole for being a father figure for Aubree, who is now 12.
Chelsea is one of the most recognized Teen Mom stars out there and quickly became a fan-favorite. Fans consider the 30-year-old to be likable and relatable, with her generally-homebody storylines being a change of pace from the constant drama of some of her castmates. Eventually, issues with privacy, coupled with her children getting older, led to Chelsea and Cole leaving MTV in 2020. Since leaving the Teen Mom universe, Chelsea has started several successful businesses. The South Dakotan partnered with small boutique LaurieBelles to launch the clothing line Lily & Lottie in 2020. Last year, Chelsea founded Aubree Says, which offers home decor; Chelsea and Cole also have a partnership with Furniture Mart called Down Home DeBoers. With Chelsea and Cole having their hands in multiple opportunities, the couple plans to add one more thing to their already heavy workload.
According to People, Chelsea and Cole are set to return to television as the stars of HGTV’s newest home renovation show. The limited series, which is currently titled Farmhouse Fabulous, will feature six episodes, with a premiere date of spring 2023. The show will follow Chelsea and Cole as they launch a home renovation and design business; the couple will be shown helMicheping local families create the home of their dreams while taking care of their children Aubree, Watson, 5; Layne, 3; and Walker, 1. Chelsea’s dentist father, Randy, is set to guest star to the delight of long-time Teen Mom 2 fans. With a combined 8.6 million Instagram followers by Chelsea and Cole, Betsy Ayala, HGTV’s SVP of Programming & Production, described the DeBoers in a statement as “spirited young entrepreneurs breaking ground in the home renovation business.”
Announcing the exciting news shortly after People, Chelsea and Cole uploaded matching Instagram posts detailing their newest business venture. ”SURPRISE!!! Cole and I have our own series coming out on HGTV!“ the mother-of-four exclaimed. Using the experience they acquired from designing their own home, Chelsea teased the premise of the show by writing that the couple ”cannot wait to get started renovating and designing homes for other couples in our area.” Verified accounts, as well as fans, were quick to offer their congratulations. The official account for HGTV wrote, ”So excited about this new show!“ Aubree Says commented, “Yayy!! We are so excited about this!! Can’t wait to see this come to life.” Even The Real Housewives of Orange County‘s Vicki Gunvalson is involved by association, as son-in-law Ryan Culberson simply said, “Badass.”
Chelsea and Cole are the first Teen Mom 2 alumni to star in their own show on another network, although Teen Mom‘s Farrah Abraham and Maci Bookout have been featured on reality shows outside of MTV. With the success of other HGTV home renovation programs such as House Hunters Renovation, Farmhouse Fabulous plans to be a great addition to the network that will draw in viewers from several corners of reality television. With more than a year until the series airs, fans of HGTV, MTV or both have something to look forward to.
