Chelsea Houska is easily one of the most beloved stars (maybe THE most beloved) of the Teen Mom franchise, and with good reason.
A big part of her appeal is that she keeps her head down and focuses on her own life, unemcumbered by the trappings of fame.
With that said, the pride of South Dakota sat down with the Don't Tell Mom podcast to open up about a number of topics.
(Big shoutout to The Ashley for her very good transcription of the highlights.)
The Housk dishes on her troubled ex, what it's really like to be a Teen Mom 2 star and how that has changed over the years.
On a family note, she and husband Cole have a lot of plans for the future - in terms of reality TV and growing their family.
Take a look at what Chelsea (and even Cole) shared below:
1. The Housk!!
"I probably should have gotten permission technically to do this podcast,” Chelsea, who fans are always dying for updates from, admits. “To even do articles, we’re supposed to go through MTV Press, but I don’t think people do that anymore. I don’t like to break rules!" She's so relatable!
2. She's been coming out of her shell
"This last year I feel like I’m kind of growing as a person,” Chelsea acknowledges. “Before I used to hide in my house, literally, hide in my house, all the time. Now I’m trying to put myself out there a little bit."
3. That's why her social media presence has been ramping up
"We are so lucky for the opportunities we have due to this platform," Chelsea emphasizes. "So I’m finally being able to be like, ‘Listen, if you want to make the most of this, and anyone should, you’ve got to put yourself out there,’ and that’s what we’re trying to do now."
4. Is Adam Lind returning?
"No, I think that might have been a little click bait because he made an appearance on one episode because he showed up to one of Aubree’s softball games when we were filming,” Chelsea explains. “So they caught him on camera. I don’t think he’s coming back. Not that I know of."
5. Even Chelsea gets online hate
"I’m very sensitive, and I just want people to like me. I care a lot,” she admits. Oh MOOD. “Luckily, our following is so supportive, and for the most part everyone is really sweet to us."
6. Others have it worse
"We’re really lucky because I know some of the [‘Teen Mom’] girls get hit pretty hard by [haters]," Chelsea acknowledges. "It makes me feel really bad for them. But we all get it." A lot of trolls are just being mean because it's in their nature. Some, like Jenelle, get angry responses because they say and do bad things.
