It sometimes seems like Chelsea Houska, the best mom of the Teen Mom franchise, can’t catch a break. She makes a responsible decision, but trolls slam her for “poisoning” her baby. Go figure.
But she’s not letting that get her down. Instead, she’s taking time to celebrate the good things — like her one year wedding anniversary!
And Cole DeBoer posted the sweetest anniversary tribute. Awww!
Not all of the moms on Teen Mom 2 make the best life choices.
That kind of goes with the territory when you’re talking about people who each decided to become a mom in high school.
One area where the stars really seem to struggle is choosing
Like … Briana DeJesus, who seems to have a subconscious attraction to deadbeat dads.
Remember when she shared that Luis Miguel had never even seen their baby, Stella? Which means that she’s made that same mistake twice now.
Or, worse, there’s Jenelle Evans, who tends to choose men who honestly don’t seem like they’re qualified to be parents.
To be fair, we wouldn’t trust Jenelle Evans to watch over a houseplant, so we guess that her romantic history is just story after story of water finding its own level.
These days, though, Chelsea Houska seems to have figured out how to tell the good ones from the bad. Cole DeBoer seems to be a good guy, and he’s even handsome.
He’s definitely sweet — because look at the anniversary tribute that he posted!
That photo might look like it’s out of a fairytale, but we’ve seen other pics from this same wedding photoshoot before.
Cole didn’t leave it at just a
“1 year ago on this beautiful day I married my amazing perfect wife. Happy anniversary @chelseahouska I love you”
It’s not long or poetic — because he’s not trying to impress his followers with how creative he is, or whatever.
He’s just speaking from the heart, but over social media — which is very different from the performative romance that you see a lot of the time from social media stars and their loved ones.
(Which is all part of the gig and can also be very sweet; we get it)
These two are crazy about each other and, honestly, we wish them the best. Not that they seem to need a lot of luck.
Chelsea Houska married Cole DeBoer on October 1st, 2016.
The first wedding anniversary is a big deal because it’s your first.
Other, later milestones become much bigger deals.
But we think that they’ll get there.
In addition to being crazy about each other, these two seem like an actual good fit.
Sometimes mixed families can leave out someone, but contrary to how MTV sometimes portrays Chelsea’s life, she and Cole absolutely make time for Chelsea’s daughter, Aubree.
It’s an editor’s job to make things more interesting, and since Chelsea isn’t an out-of-control redneck or whatever, we get that editing out context so that it looks like Chelsea’s ignoring Aubree probably seemed like a good idea.
Even if it’s not accurate.
Chelsea Houska has previously stated that she could keep doing Teen Mom 2 for years and years.
Obviously, “Teen Mom” sounds like a misnomer at first — but you have to remember that they did become mothers as teenagers.
That’s not something that ever goes away in your life, you know? It’s a decision that frames your destiny. That’s a dramatic way of phrasing it, but … yeah.
Still, Chelsea’s done well for herself despite numerous disadvantages along the way. We, at least, look forward to seeing where she — and Cole — are in a few years.
