Former MTV Star Chelsea DeBoer Admits Her Regret Over ‘Teen Mom 2′ as She Applauds HGTV for Safeguarding Her Kids’ Privacy

Home expert Chelsea DeBoer has admitted that she regrets letting her kids appear on "Teen Mom 2," noting that she is grateful to HGTV for respecting their privacy.

DeBoer, 34, who rose to stardom on MTV's "16 and Pregnant" series, revealed that she and her spouse, Cole DeBoer, 37, who tied the knot in 2016, were bidding farewell to "Teen Mom 2."

While speaking with PauseRewind, Chelsea, who now hosts the HGTV series "Down Home Fab," confessed that she wished she didn't share as much of her children's lives on the show.

Chelsea, who shares daughter Aubree with her ex-boyfriend, Adam Lind, and children Watson, Layne, and Walker, with Cole, also gushed about HGTV.

“Looking back, I don’t know if I would choose that again at this point. I’m so grateful for [the show] and everything, I’m just saying, like, for our kids now," she said.

“I think the biggest thing that we learned as we've gotten older and the kids have gotten older, is we really want to be selective on how we show the kids, how much we show the kids, and just really trying to protect them,” she added.

She admitted that she was nervous jumping ship to HGTV after appearing on "Teen Mom 2" from 2011 to 2019.

The mom of four explained, “I was kind of nervous going into it, and I don't even know why. I think I had been on TV for so long before that, and it was such a different dynamic."

She added, “Like, reality TV such as 'Teen Mom' was very chaotic, you know, a little negative from time to time. It was a totally different feeling when we started [at] HGTV. I actually wasn't nervous about any of that. I was like, they want us to look good. They want people to love us, and they want to show our true personality. And so I was like, excited too, just because I trust these people 100% and I'm not nervous about anything. I can say whatever.”

Chelsea also admitted that she got the chance to be a host on HGTV by sending a DM that she immediately unsent out of "embarrassment."

“I feel like that's so out of character for me to like, shoot my shot on things like that, but I was feeling brave that night, I guess. And I just sent a little DM, and I remember, I deleted it right after I sent it, because I was like, ‘I'm so embarrassing.’ And I felt like, so silly," she said.

However, after Chelsea and Cole landed the series, she wished she had kept the message.

“And so then after we got the show, I was like, ‘Oh, I wish I could see that message.’ So, thankfully, HGTV saved it and they posted it somewhere, but it's just so wild.” she revealed.
