For years, Chelsea Houska reigned supreme as the most popular member of the Teen Mom franchise.
That all changed when Chelsea unexpectedly quit the show last year.
Obviously, she no longer qualifies as a Teen Mom star, and some fans expressed ang…
The girls from Teen Mom are good at many things.
They’re good at creating reality show magic, whether it’s through their family or romantic trials and tribulations.
Some of them have written books, or even tried to start music careers, or Cam Girl careers, and while none of those were actually good … well, it was nice that Farrah tried.
But we can probably all agree that the area where the Teen Moms really, truly excel is the baby-making area.
Because they have so. Many. Babies.
So many you may have forgotten about some of them, impossible as that seems. Can you name them all?
Here’s the full rundown! Find out!
These are interesting times in the life of Chelsea Houska.
And if the mother of four was hoping that things would settle down a bit after she quit Teen Mom 2, it seems she’s got another thing coming.
Chelsea’s life is still a subject of fascinati…
It’s been over six months since Chelsea Houska quit Teen Mom 2, and some fans are still in shock over the decision.
And the old wounds are newly re-opened by the premiere of a new season of TM2, the first that won’t feature Chelsea in any way.
Ho…
It’s been about six months since we learned that Chelsea Houska would be quitting Teen Mom 2.
Chelsea is the most popular mom in the TM universe, so the news was not well-received by fans — many of whom feared that they would no longer be able to …
It’s out with the old and in with the new over at MTV!
When Chelsea Houska announced that she was quitting Teen Mom 2 late last year, many fans worried about the future of the franchise.
Chelsea was the most popular Teen Mom, and many feared the worst when it became clear that MTV had plans to replace her.
There were rumors that the franchise would revisit a very dark place by re-hiring the likes of Farrah Abraham or Jenelle Evans.
Thankfully, that didn’t happen.
Instead, a fan favorite was called up from the minors to the big leagues.
Yes, Ashley Jones, of Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant fame has been chosen to replace Chelsea.
Producers shared the news on the show’s official Instagram page back in December.
“Ashley Joins Teen Mom 2!” the post read.
“Surprise! @ashleysiren is officially joining the #TeenMom2 family. Here is the most special look at what’s to come for her next season!”
But for many fans, the move didn’t feel official until this week, when Ashley introduced her first preview clip with the help of frequent reunion show host Nessa.
“I’m so excited to join Teen Mom 2. I can’t give too much away but check out this ‘OMG’ moment from the upcoming premiere,” Jones told fans.
From there, we saw a brief montage of Ashley interacting with her daughter Holly and her on-again, off-again boyfriend Bariki Smith.
At first, it seemed as though this would be a standard introduction for fans who weren’t already familiar with Ashley.
But the end of the preview clip offered an unexpected twist.
To the sound of audible gasps from the studio audience, Bariki got down on one knee and popped the question to Ashley.
“I’ve messed up the other ones and I want to apologize and tell you that I appreciate you,” he said in the clip.
“You’ve been with me through a lot.”
Ashley became so overwhelmed with emotion that she could barely bring herself to look at Bariki.
But did she accept his proposal?
Well, it looks like you’ll need to watch the upcoming season of Teen Mom 2 in order to find out.
But if you’re eagerly shipping these two and you just can’t wait that long, we’re afraid we have some bad news:
As far as anyone knows, Ashley and Bariki are not currently together.
So not only did their engagement go bust (assuming Ashley accepted), they went so far as to call the entire relationship off!
Currently, we’re clueless as to how it all went down, but we’re sure all of the Ashley vs. Bariki drama will be featured on TM2.
So in the end, were producers able to find a suitable replacement for the incomparable and much-beloved Chelsea Houska?
Well, Ashley has already amassed a large and loyal fan base, and in some ways, she might actually improve upon Chelsea’s presence.
After all, if it’s drama that keeps you tuning in, a fully contented, married mother of four from South Dakota might not fit the bill.
Even though Chelsea Houska quit Teen Mom 2 last year, she still finds herself embroiled in the petty drama that makes the show so entertaining and infuriating.

These days, Jenelle Evans’ life is essentially a never-ending campaign to cling to the last shreds of her notoriety.
And, of course, her most effective method for doing this is continually picking fights with her former co-stars.

It’s only been about six weeks since Chelsea Houska welcomed her fourth child.
But even though Chelsea quit Teen Mom 2 last year, she’s still in the limelight thanks to her Instagram following.
And those millions of fans want regular updates abou…
Chelsea Houska and Cole DeBoer have a brand new baby at home.
This is very exciting for the couple.
But Chelsea Houska and Cole DeBoer also have a brand new lawsuit on their hands.
And this is a very frightening prospect for the couple.

For a very long time now, Teen Mom fans could scarcely mention Cole DeBoer and Chelsea Houska without using a certain hashtag along with them.
You know the one, right?
#CoupleGoals.
Now that Cole and Chelsea are parents to yet another child, ho…
Chelsea Houska may be done with Teen Mom, but she will never be gone from our hearts — or those of her castmates.
She recently shared some adorable photos of newborn baby Walker.
Fans are beside themselves, and they are not alone.
Kailyn Lowry couldn’t help but publicly gush about this sweet little baby.
“How is she that perfect?” Kail gushed in the comments below Chelsea’s photo of her newborn daughter.
The question was of course rhetorical, an expression of awe and adoration.
Kailyn’s comment was completed by two emojis of tearful crying — commonly used on social media when someone is overwhelmed with positive emotions.
“Walker June,” Chelsea wrote to introducer her and Cole’s newest baby to the world.
At birth, she revealed, her baby girl weighed in at “6lbs 1oz.”
“She decided she wanted to share a birthday with her big brother, Watson,” Chelsea joked, “and surprised us by coming last night.”
“I always wanted to be a Father,” Cole gushed in his own social media post.
He added affectionately: “I never would have guessed I would be blessed and gifted 4 beautiful children.”
Aubree, Watson, and Layne are now older siblings to sweet little Walker.
“Chelsea Houska, thank you for this life and creating miracles,” Cole raved about his wife.
“I love you,” he expressed.
“Not sure how this rugged good ole boy got as lucky as I did,” Cole admitted, “but I truly couldn’t ask for anything more.”
Fans can solve that mystery.
Cole is a good dude and he’s easily one of the hottest partners or baby daddies, ever, in the Teen Mom universe.
So how he landed such a sweet and loving partner and such amazing kids isn’t exactly a head-scratcher.
We do have to note that it’s funny that Walker “chose” to be born on Watson’s birthday.
(Obviously, Chelsea was joking on multiple levels there, as that’s not how childbirth works and also Walker is a baby who doesn’t even know what birthdays are or who Watson is yet)
Not only do the kids with W-names share a birthday, but they’ll always share that birthday … which is probably going to get deeply annoying for both of them as they get older.
Chelsea made sure to share a lot of herself during this final pregnancy — making a note that it was bittersweet to be pregnant for the last time.
That said, she also noted that the changes to her body were often unpleasant.
From genital soreness to back pain to enlarged, tender breasts, her body was doing a number on her to nurture this new life.
Kailyn of course is no stranger to motherhood.
Like Chelsea, Kail is a mother of four. She is all too familiar with the downsides of pregnancy.
Kailyn has fresher experiences with toxic baby daddies than Chelsea’s. Not every Teen Mom was lucky enough to find a Cole DeBoer.
It’s so nice to see this kind of cordial interaction.
It’s a great reminder that stopping from being castmates doesn’t mean that they have to disappear from each other’s thoughts.
And we can all agree that Walker is adorable beyond words.
Chelsea Houska is celebrating the life she and her husband have built.
And she’s doing so by celebrating the brand new life that she and this same husband have brought into the world.

Honesty is a quality that’s hard to come by in reality stars, which is ironic, when you think about it.
After all, it’s literally their job to share their lives with the world.
