Chanel West Coast Is Excited For Her New Chapter In Life
After announcing her pregnancy, the "Ridiculousness" co-host told 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."
She also talked about her boyfriend and why she feels like he will be a great father. "Dom is definitely the most level-headed person I've ever had in my life," she explained. "Raising children is not an easy thing so you really have to be like that to be a good dad. He's just so calm and relaxed and I can be a little bit crazier. I think that he's the perfect balance for me."
She also opened up about her dreams from an early age and how she plans to support her child any way she can. "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," she said. "I really hope that my child goes for their dreams and follows their heart and doesn't let any of the materialistic stuff get to them. I really want to raise a child that's down to earth and humble and just appreciates life to the fullest."

I really want my child to be able to listen to my music and be proud and inspired when they hear it," she explained.
