"Teen Mom 2" has added a fifth cast member to the show, and fans are freaking about what that may mean for the original cast members going forward. The series, which has become a favorite among Reality TV fans, stars Chelsea Houska, Kailyn Lowry, Jenelle Evans, and Leah Messer, but recently announced that former "Teen Mom 3" star Briana DeJesus would also be joining the cast for Season 8. Could one of the original girls be leaving the show after this season?
Rumors are flying that the DeBoers are ready to depart
Fans are in panic mode about rumors that Chelsea Houska may be the one leaving "Teen Mom 2." Chelsea has made no secret that she wants to keep many aspects of her life private now that she's married to Cole DeBoer and has welcomed her second child, Watson Cole DeBoer.
The little family is growing, and wants to be alone much of the time. In fact, Chelsea wants her privacy so much that she wouldn't even allow MTV cameras to film any part of her intimate wedding to Cole back in October of 2016. Thankfully, Chelsea's father, Randy Houska, cleared up rumors about Chelsea leaving the series.
Chelsea's dad clears up the rumors
When asked by a fan on Twitter if Chelsea Houska was planning to leave "Teen Mom 2," Randy simply replied, "No." All of the girls are set to return for Season 8, which begins airing this summer. However, it is unclear whether or not they will all be back for any seasons beyond that. Chelsea is definitely the most likely candidate to quit the show, but Kailyn Lowry may also want to soon make a run for it.
Kail has also hinted in the past that she doesn't think she'll be on the show much longer, but her life is one of the most interesting things about the series right now. In addition to going through some major divorce drama with Javi Marroquin last season, Lowry is currently pregnant with her third child. Kailyn's pregnancy was largely kept under wraps, and she refused to reveal the identity of the unborn baby's father until recently.
This alone will have viewers tuning in each week to see what she has to say about the pregnancy and her third baby daddy.
Briana DeJesus joining the cast
Meanwhile, Briana DeJesus is also pregnant again, and she's revealed that she'll be going it alone this time around as well. After it was announced that Briana would be joining the "Teen Mom 2" cast, a new clip revealed that she found out that her boyfriend/ baby daddy had been cheating on her. Sadly, the news came when Briana was six months pregnant with his child.
