Chelsea Vaughn Opens Up About New Home and Living Alone as a Black Woman: ‘A Beautiful Privilege’
Life update!
Bachelor Nation fans got to know Chelsea Vaughn on Season 25 of “The Bachelor” and again on 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.
At the beginning of this year, Chelsea shared that she officially moved out of NYC for good and is currently living in Los Angeles, California.
Now, the Bachelor Nation star has opened up more about her new home online and reflected on what it means to her to be living alone.
Alongside a series of beautiful photos in her apartment, Chelsea wrote, “LIFE UPDATE 🗝️✨ This is not my first solo apartment, but I’ve decided that it is going to be my first home. Living alone as a woman, especially a black one, is such a beautiful privilege that I do not take for granted.”
Chelsea continued, expressing her gratitude for this milestone and the women that came before her that helped it come to fruition.
She went on, “Especially right now, when they’re trying to strip away the rights that so many women who came before me worked their asses off for me to have. Women who couldn’t even dream about doing this, and I get to do it!! I am so grateful and I will be posting about this and celebrating it like it’s a big freaking deal, because IT ABSOLUTELY IS.”
Chelsea ended her post with, “So on this very last day, Happy International Women’s month from me & my new home 💛.” Followers filled the comments with their love.
One person wrote, “That part!! congratulations beautiful! ❤️” Another added, “It’s a huge deal!! Congratulations and thank you for bringing us along with you ❤️."
One follower expressed, “The windows. The tile. The faucet. This is gorgeous😍😍😍,” while fellow Bachelor Nation star Deandra Kanu chimed in, “You’re thriving.”
Congratulations! We couldn’t agree more with all the love for Chelsea and we’re so excited for her. We’re wishing her all the best in this next chapter!
