Chelsea Edwards

Chelsea Edwards is a Houston native, storyteller, mom and the host of Chattin’ With Chelsea, FOX 26’s daytime talk show celebrating inspiring people, meaningful conversations and the stories that connect us all.

Born in Houston and raised in Missouri City, Chelsea discovered her love for broadcasting at Hightower High School’s Media Academy, where she learned to shoot, write and edit stories. That early passion eventually took her to Texas Southern University, where she earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Telecommunications, graduating magna cum laude.

While at TSU, Chelsea gained production experience through partnerships with NASA and TxDOT and began her career behind the scenes as a video editor for Houston’s ABC affiliate, where she spent nearly six years. She also spent four years running a TX21st afterschool program in Klein ISD, combining her love of media with her passion for working with young people.

Chelsea eventually made the leap in front of the camera as a multimedia journalist at KWTX-TV in Waco. She later became a morning reporter for the station’s Bell County Bureau, covering Killeen, Temple, Copperas Cove and Fort Hood.

In 2019, Chelsea returned home to FOX 26, where her career has continued to evolve. Today, she hosts Chattin’ With Chelsea, where she sits down with celebrities, entrepreneurs, experts and everyday people for conversations centered on health, beauty, relationships, business, family and personal growth—with a special focus on uplifting women.

Outside of the studio, Chelsea is a proud mom who understands the beautiful—and sometimes chaotic—balancing act of building a career while raising a family. She brings that authenticity to her work and believes the best stories are the ones that make you laugh, make you think and remind you that you’re not alone.

When she’s not on camera, you’ll likely find Chelsea spending time with her son, cheering on her community or finding another reason to celebrate the people and places that make Houston home.
