Reality star Chelsea Houska has been part of the Teen Mom franchise for the last ten years. We first met her on 16 and Pregnant when she was expectant and dating ex-boyfriend Adam Lind. After she gave birth to her daughter Aubree, her relationship with Adam became rocky mostly because of teenage parenthood. She then decided to get her life in order. She obtained her GED and then enrolled for beauty school and became one of the most responsible and levelheaded moms on the show.
In 2014, she met Cole DeBoer and ended her then on-again-off-again relationship with Adam. She went from having a shaky relationship to being in a stable living situation. Cole treated her and Aubree so well that she decided he was the perfect man for her. They tied the knot in 2016 and added two more kids: son, Watson, and daughter, Layne, to the family. She truly got her fairy tale ending. Here are 15 lesser-known facts about their marriage.
