While they are leaving the world of reality TV, Houska and DeBoer are not leaving the spotlight just yet. Houska explained that they will continue sharing their parenting journey with fans, and will have more interactive projects in the future.

"Our next chapter in life will focus on developing our brand and taking things to the next level with new endeavors and expanding family businesses," she wrote. "Please tune into our last moments on the show and continue to follow along our journey on social media. We are so excited for this next phase of our lives and hope you all will be a part of it in some way!"

Within minutes, DeBoer got an outpouring of love from fans on Instagram, but many comments were admittedly heartbroken. Even as fans congratulated Houska on taking this next step in her life, they confessed that they would miss seeing her in the familiar format.

"Nooooo she's the only reason I watch lol," one fan wrote. another added: I don't want to watch it anymore," while a third wrote: "This is actually the worst day ever."

Like the other Teen Mom franchise stars, fans first met Houska on MTV's 16 & Pregnant. Her subsequent decade on Teen Mom 2 chronicled her raising her daughter, Aubree, her tumultuous relationship with Aubree's father, Adam, and her journey through her GED program, then beauty school. Houska would later go on to meet DeBoer on the show, and fans watched them from meet-cute to marriage.

Now, Houska and DeBoer have two children of their own in addition to Aubree, and Houska is expecting a fourth baby sometime soon. So far, there is no word on what fans can expect from her after Teen Mom 2 Season 10 is over.
