Who has Chelsea Meissner dated?

Chelsea casually dated Austen Kroll on Season 4 of Southern Charm, which aired in 2017. Their relationship was short-lived and ended by that summer. However, the two remained amicable. Austen revealed on Watch What Happens Live in 2020 that they were in the “friend realm” and would not get back together because they realized they’re “so, so, so different.”

After her split from Austen, Chelsea went public with her relationship with Nick Dana in 2018. She spoke about the romance on Season 6 of Southern Charm in 2019, but Nick did not appear on the show since he was often traveling for his career as a professional sailor. The two seemingly split in 2020.

Did Chelsea Meissner have a baby?

Yes, Chelsea welcomed a daughter as a single mother in 2023. “The circle of life is a powerful thing,” Chelsea shared when she announced her pregnancy. “When Tyson [her dog] 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. You just never know what God has in store for you. I’m so fortunate to have strong women in my life who have paved the road for me to motherhood. Here’s to a thick girl summer.”

Chelsea’s mother has been helping her raise her child. “I moved my mom in with me when I was 9 months pregnant and she has been a Godsend,” Chelsea said in an April 25 Instagram Q&A. “The three of us do everything together. I’m so fortunate to have top tier assistance. We’re considering home schooling as well.”
