Coming early 2021.” DeBoer shared the same photo with a different caption, writing, “The Grand Finale! (We Think [wink emoji]) Baby #4!”

Teen Mom stars weigh in

 While plenty of Houska’s Teen Mom co-stars retweeted MTV’s official announcement of her pregnancy, others took to her Instagram post directly to send their love. 

Catelynn Lowell of Teen Mom OG wrote, “Congratulations to you guys!!!!” while her Teen Mom 2 co-star Kailyn Lowry, who just gave birth to her fourth child, a baby boy, on July 30 wrote alongside heart emojis: “This. So happy for y’all!!!! And I love that you write your story into your home.”

Other stars…

Houska’s big announcement also drew attention from stars outside the Teen Mom franchise, including Sweet Magnolias actress Jamie Lynn Spears, who is a mother of two herself.

“[Oh my God] you are going all in..good for you!!” she commented. “Congrats to you and your beautiful family!!” Chrisley Knows Best alum Lindsie Chrisley, a mother of one son who now hosts the Coffee Convos podcast with Lowry, also made sure to send her love, commenting, “Yay a yay congrats to y’all!” 

Well-wishes

Plenty of people who have watched Houska’s journey from 16 and Pregnant to this point were thrilled at the news as well, sending their well-wishes on Twitter.

‘Big family’

Others remembered DeBoer’s desire for a big family, which he expressed to Houska early on in their relationship, and were grateful that the two were living their dream.  

‘Adds to the Love’

Houska and DeBoer are one of the more beloved couples on Teen Mom, and their fans were quick to praise them as an “amazing mother” and “great father” who deserved “all the happiness.”

Looking back

Looking back, Houska and DeBoer have been looking to add a fourth kiddo to their brood for a few years. The two told E! News back in February 2019, “We definitely want more kids—at least one—but I think we’re going to wait probably a little farther than the last two babies. Maybe when [Layne is] 2, we’ll start thinking about it. But there will be more.”

“I mean, Cole is just great all around,” Houska gushed of her husband. “I’m more of the laid-back parent and he’s definitely more paranoid and worried all the time, which is funny because it’s usually the mom but I mean, he’s so helpful. He changes diapers. He gets in there. He does it all.”
