Chelsea Meissner is gearing up for motherhood!
In a celebratory Instagram post shared on Wednesday, the Southern Charm alum announced that she is pregnant with her first child, a girl, who will be born in September.
In the video, Jack Johnson’s song “My Little Girl” is heard playing over several of Chelsea’s ultrasound photos.
“The circle of life is a powerful thing,” Chelsea wrote in the video’s caption. “You just never know what God has in store for you.”
The Charleston-based hairstylist also gave a sweet shoutout to her beloved dog, Tyson, who has sadly since passed away, and who she credits as her first love. She also shouted out the “strong women” who have “paved the way for me to motherhood.”
“When Tyson passed, I knew I could never love another soul nearly as much unless I had a child of my own. Now here we are with one on the way,” Chelsea wrote. “I’m so fortunate to have strong women in my life who have paved the road for me to motherhood.”
Chelsea has not divulged who the father of the child is, but she gushed over her partner, calling him “one hell of a man!”
In addition, she’s ready to fully embrace her upcoming “mom bod,” concluding the post, “Here’s to a thick girl summer.”
Chelsea’s former Southern Charm co-stars flooded the comments section with words of support and congratulations, including Naomie Olindo, Madison LeCroy, and Cameran Eubanks.
“I LOVE HER ALREADY!! P can’t wait for her Podna to arrive!! ???? ????????” Cameran wrote, adding she’s ready for her daughter, Palmer, to have a new playmate.
Naomie also chimed in with well wishes, saying, “Couldn’t be more excited for you my Chels ????????????????”
Madison echoed similar sentiments, “Congratulations❤️ you’re going to be a wonderful mom!”
Chelsea appeared on Southern Charm for three seasons, beginning in 2016 and departing in 2019.
