Chelsea Vaughn Reveals She Moved to L.A. & the Reason Why in New Life Update — More Here!
New chapter!
Bachelor Nation fans got to know Chelsea Vaughn on Season 25 of “The Bachelor” and Season 7 of “Bachelor in Paradise.”
Last year, she moved back to New York City after living in Mexico City for a while, revealing that she recently got out of a relationship.
And a few months ago, Chelsea took to her Instagram Story to share that she also decided to move out of NYC for good.
Now, the Bachelor Nation star has shared in a new life update online that she relocated to the West Coast and is now living in Los Angeles.
“I definitely confused a lot of you guys. So, let’s catch up,” she shared in a new video, “I left my place in May in New York and I went to Mexico City for four months. I would have loved to stay there forever, but sadly, with work it was not working out. And I need to get paid. So, I couldn’t stay. Which brings us to fall when I went back to New York for a little bit and then realized I don’t want to be in New York anymore. It was definitely a tough realization along with other things. But I had to be true to myself, and I knew the true me was ready to move on.”
Chelsea then shared that she went back to her mom’s house in Georgia to recharge.
“I was genuinely considering maybe moving back to Atlanta so that’s why I was looking at apartments,” she confessed, “After looking around in Atlanta, I realized the best decision for me right now is L.A.. I have never spent any long periods of time on the West Coast. My mood is really affected by the environment that I’m in and I love being by the water. I love being in the sunshine, that’s when I’m happiest. So, L.A. feels like the next smart move. I also still want to have a career. I’m in the entertainment industry, I’m a model, I’m an influencer. There were only so many cities that I was going to be able to move to….Anyway, so I’m going to be an L.A. girlie. For how long? I don’t know. I’m hoping that I love it.”
Chelsea also shared a new post of her dancing in her LA apartment and wrote, “Me because I realized I’m not actually depressed, I just needed to move cities…If you were looking for a sign to move, let it be this ✨.”
We are so proud of Chelsea for doing what’s best for her, and we’re wishing her all the best in this exciting new chapter!
