TV personality Chanel West Coast, whose real name is Chelsea Chanel Dudley, has become a mother! Chanel, most notably known for co-hosting the MTV series Ridiculousness, has announced the arrival of her first child with her partner Dom Fenison, a model.
Chanel shared the news of her birth on her Instagram Stories, including her little one’s scary arrival. The couple welcomed a baby girl, news they had previously revealed during their pregnancy. They have not shared what they have chosen to name her yet. Of welcoming her daughter into the world, the “Anchors” singer shared, “”After many hours in labor I ended up giving birth to my baby girl via c-section. A few complications and she didn’t wanna just pop out on her own. The scariest yet most rewarding day of my life by far. Never felt a love like this before. She’s the best thing to ever happen to me.”
Chanel continued in her post by thanking Dom for being by her side in parenthood. “Thank you [Dom] for giving me the greatest gift in the world and being such an amazing dad already. Love you both soooo much.” The couple had known each other for around 5 years before they began dating. Their relationship began following Dom being in Chanel’s music video for her song “Vinyl.” Chanel and Dom publicly confirmed their relationship in early 2022.
The MTV personality announced she was expecting in June. At the time, she gushed about her excitement about becoming a mother with E! News. “I’m just really excited for this next journey in my life. It’s probably my scariest journey yet, but sometimes the scary roads lead to the best endings. From a very young age, I knew that I wanted to sing and dance and be on TV. I just can’t wait to see what my child’s dreams are and help them pursue that all along the way.”
Congratulations to Chanel and Dom on the arrival of their first child! We wish them all the best in their new role as parents.
