Chelsea launched her career in 1988, appearing in two episodes of the sitcom “Fuller House”, and portraying Greek businesswoman Kristina Andropolous in the daytime soap opera “Days of Our Lives”. During the same year, she made an episodic appearance in the sitcom “Who’s the Boss”.

After portraying minor parts in the series “Cheers” and “Booker”, Chelsea landed her role as Kate McDonald, girlfriend of Michael “Mike” Seaver, played by Kirk Kameron in the sitcom “Growing Pains”. The show, which follows the Seaver family of five and their everyday struggles, premiered in September 1985 and concluded in April 1992.

Chelsea was introduced in the fifth season, and continued starring through seven in a total of 22 episodes; the show also stars Alan Thicke, Joanna Kerns and Tracey Gold. Upon premiering, the series scooped positive reviews and numerous viewers, becoming one of the most popular sitcoms in the ‘80s. In addition to commercial success, the show received several nominations and awards, spawned several spin-offs, and was aired in over 10 countries, including Taiwan, New Zealand, and Germany.

In 1990 Chelsea made her movie debut playing Penelope in the movie “Instant Karma”, followed by her minor role in the film “The Willies”. In 1991, she was cast as Carrie Lee in the made-for-TV movie “A Little Piece of Heaven”, sharing the screen with her co-star from “Growing Pains” Kirk Cameron, Jussie Smollett and Ron McLarty.

Two years later, she made a one-episode appearance in “Doogie Howser” followed by a role in the TV film “Star Struck”. In 1995 she booked the part as one of the main characters, Elizabeth Waters, in the sitcom “Kirk”, which revolves around Kirk Hartman played by Kirk Cameron. The idea for the show sprang from his successful and notable seven-year role as Mike Seaver in “Growing Pains”, in collaboration with Bickley-Warren Productions and Warner Bros. The series ran for two seasons before it was canceled.

After her minor appearance in the series “Seinfeld”, she portrayed Alison Taylor in the 1998 TV film “You Lucky Dog”.

Chelsea also booked the role of Hattie Durham in the religious thriller film “Left Behind”, based on the eponymous novel by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins. Despite receiving negative reviews and a poor performance at the box office, the movie was followed by two sequels, “Left Behind: Tribulation Force”(2002) and “Left Behind: World at War”(2005), in which she reprised her role as Hattie.

In 2004 she again portrayed Kate in the second reunion entitled “Growing Pains: Return of the Seavers”. In 2008 Chelsea had a minor part in the Christian drama film “Fireproof”. Her latest role was in the 2014 drama/family film “Mercy Rule”, again sharing the screen with her husband Kirk Cameron, playing his on-screen love match.

Personal life

Not much is known about her dating history. She and six-years-younger Kirk Cameron met on the set of “Fuller House”, when he was accompanying his younger sister Candace Cameron who starred in the show.

They soon started a romantic relationship, which became even stronger after they began playing on-screen love interests in “Growing Pains”. Eventually they became engaged, and on 21 July 1991 they walked down the aisle in a small ceremony at the historic chapel in Cheektowaga, New York. Reportedly, Chelsea’s brother David was the best man, while his wife Heidi was the maid of honor. After the ceremony, they had a small reception at a country club, and went on a honeymoon in Vermont.

They Have Six Children

They have welcomed four children, of which two are their biological children, while the other four were adopted.  The couple first adopted four children of mixed races: Jack (born in 1996), Isabella in 1997, Anna in 1998, and Luke in 2000), and then had their biological offspring. Chelsea explained the reason behind this decision in an interview, saying: ‘We decided to adopt our first ones so they would always know they were our first choice – that they were our first babies.’

In 2001 they welcomed their daughter Olivia, and in 2003, Chelsea gave birth to James. Considering that Chelsea is an adopted child herself, she has always had a passion for adoption and great love for children. Talking to a media outlet, she revealed: ‘I love being a mother. It’s the most fulfilling thing.’ Chelsea is also an avid advocate for adoption, as it’s one of the most fundamental Christian beliefs.

After marrying Kirk, she focused on home-schooling and raising their children, with active involvement in various charitable organizations too.

Talking to a media outlet, Chelsea disclosed that she had always admired the marriage her parents had, and had always aspired to duplicate that vision of matrimony, saying: ‘They were married 36 years, and Kirk and I know that we can get through anything with our foundation of faith and family.’

Given that both Chelsea and Kirk are avid and passionate Christians, they credit their faith and the Lord for the health and the success of their 22-year marriage, adding that having and raising children strengthened their bond.

What is her net worth?

According to sources, her estimated net worth is $5 million, which she’s earned through her career as an actress. On the other hand, her husband’s wealth is in the range of $10 million, also acquired through being an actor. It is believed that her roles in “Growing Pains” and the trilogy “Left Behind” were significant contributors to her current modest fortune.

Physical stats and Trivia

Chelsea is 5ft 7ins tall (170cm), weighs around 115lbs (52kgs), with vital statistics of 32-26-32. Her natural hair is light brown, while over the years, she’s dyed it blonde; her eyes are brown.

Kirk and Cameron co-founded the charitable “Firefly Organization”, which raises funds to aid research and develop programs for prolonging brain health. The organization also runs Camp Firefly, which allows terminally-ill children to spend a free vacation week with their families at their headquarters. The idea behind the camp sprang from Cameron’s experience working with sick children during his acting career.

Chelsea often played her husband’s kissing double in his other movies per his request. Kirk actually insisted on having his wife do these cameo appearances, as he did not want to kiss other women, even on screen.

That was not the only time Kirk landed in hot waters due to his beliefs – in 2012 he guest-starred on the talk show “Piers Morgan Tonight” and talked about homosexuality, saying it was unnatural and destructive to society, which drew criticism from the LGBT community, gay rights activists, and celebrities.

Who is Cleo Rose Elliott?

Cleo is a musician and model, but perhaps best recognized as the daughter of well-known actors Sam Elliot and Katherine Ross. She was born under the Zodiac sign Virgo on 17 September 1984, in Malibu, California, USA. As of early 2022, she is 37 years old, and holds American nationality.

When it comes to her educational qualifications, she attended Malibu High, later transferring to Colin McEwan High School, matriculating in 2002. Cleo then enrolled at Joanne Baron/D.W. Brown Acting Studio in Santa Monica, graduating in 2006. Having completed her education, she trained in classical music and singing under Charity Chapman, the singer and songwriter, with a great interest in Italian opera. In an interview, Cleo disclosed: ‘Classical opera is the best way to warm-up your voice for singing rock. You don’t want to lose your voice rocking out”.

Career

She launched her career as a model in 2003, while attending the acting studio appearing in the TV show “Sexyhair”, and later she featured in a variety of fashion magazines, such as “The Malibu Times”.

While working with Charity Chapman, she joined the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP), where she met Bobby Harby, the music producer.

Working with Bobby in 2008, she released her first album entitled “No More Lies”, influenced by her opposing musical training and personal preferences. Talking to a media outlet, she disclosed: ‘The sound is very pop-rock, but I’m really into heavy hard rock. The song is about love, of course, and finding love and losing it but it isn’t about one specific person.’

When it comes to her musical influences, she cites Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Guns ‘n’ Roses, Fiona Apple, and Sheryl Crow.

However, the album didn’t attract the hype or positive reviews expected, and since then she’s struggled to emerge as an artist and singer. According to the latest reports, she’s represented a group of young musicians from Malibu, such as “2 Cents”, Tim Horn, and Schwarze.

Personal life

She is very private about her personal matters and romantic life, however, it’s believed that she’s in a relationship with Randy Christopher Bates, an athlete, musician and singer, who performs with his band “Panic Boom”. Judging from his Instagram account, he likes spending time outdoors, cycling and surfing, often in the company of Cleo.

There were some rumors that Cleo and Randy became engaged, but given that she’s not active on social media, and generally doesn’t share personal information, it’s hard to establish whether they walked down the aisle. However, Cleo has a very close bond with her parents, and is often seen accompanying them at movie promotions and red carpet events.

Scandals

Despite leading a low profile life, in March 2011 Cleo became the main topic of various media outlets after she allegedly attacked her mother, Katherine, with a pair of scissors.

According to her mother’s statements, Cleo lost control and wanted to hurt her physically, following her around the house, kicking cupboards in the kitchen and stabbing her. Katherine reached to call the police, but Cleo cut the cord off, and threatened to poke her eyes.

Following this incident, Katherine disclosed some private information about Cleo, saying that she had been verbally and physically abusing her in her formative years. Katherine sought a protective order against Cleo, which required her to stay 100 yards away from her mother – during the same month, Cleo arrived at the house in the company of a police officer to collect her belongings

Interestingly, they never disclosed what might have caused Cleo to act in such a manner, nor ever commented again regarding this incident.

Is she active on social media?

It appears that Cleo is not a fan of social media platforms, and doesn’t use Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. However, she did have an Instagram account, but it seems that she’s deleted it.
