As reported by Variety, Chanel has signed an overall deal with Paramount Media Networks, "under which she’ll executive produce, create and star in her own unscripted series."

And as the reality TV star mentioned in her post, the co-host will develop both "scripted and unscripted projects under MTV Entertainment Studios."

In the press release, Chanel revealed: “After years of being a part of the ‘Ridiculousness’ family, I’m sad to say goodbye to the show."

She also stated: “It’s time for me to step off the red couch and step into the role of executive producer," while also adding, "I’m also very excited for the world to see me beyond ‘the laugh’ and for once, see the real me."

GROWING FAMILY

Chanel welcomed her first child, daughter Bowie Breeze Fenison, on November 2, 2022, with her boyfriend Dom Fenison.

The Los Angeles native shared the update, as well as the first photos of the baby on her Instagram.

Chanel wrote: "I’m officially a mommy and she is 1 week old today! I ended up needing to have a c-section to deliver her and it was so scary but it was also the best day of my life."

She continued: "I’m so happy my baby girl came out healthy and happy. She is truly the chillest baby ever and I feel so blessed. I have never felt more love in my heart.

"She is my whole world now and I feel so complete with her and her daddy by my side. I can’t explain how amazing giving birth to a little human is but it’s the most fulfilling and rewarding experience I’ve ever had."

The Ridiculousness alum added: "She is absolutely perfect to me, and her Daddy and I both are infatuated with her."

Later, in a message directed to Bowie, Chanel stated: "Everything I’ve been through has led me to this point in my life with you my baby girl."

In what now seems like foreshadowing, the TV star wrote: "With you by my side I feel like I can do anything, and everything I do is all for you. I love you so much @bowiebreeze and I promise to give you my all and be the best mommy in the world to you!"

In a 2017 interview with Just Jared, the multi-cover star revealed he is "the biggest Game of Thrones fan" and once started his own skincare company.

During an interview with In Touch Weekly, Dom said of Chanel: "We've known each other for, like, five or so years, but we kind of just rekindled our relationship 'cause I was in her new music video for 'Vinyl.'"

At the time, the couple revealed that they'd officially been dating for a few months.

BUSINESS VENTURES

Besides her career in TV, the reality star also owns the swimwear brand Coasy Swim which she opened up about during an interview with 360 Magazine.

Chanel revealed: “Coasty Swim is a swimwear brand I started working on several years ago and finally brought to life in 2022. I wanted to create a line of swimwear that was colorful, sexy, and fun."

She added: "I also wanted to create a line that was safe for our planet.

"All of our bikinis are made from recycled materials and are 100% eco-friendly."

The MTV star also revealed that the brand's "body styles are made to flatter all body types," and sizes range from XS-XL."

She continued: "We want women to feel beautiful in our bikinis as well as in their own skin. We promote body positivity, and our swimwear is meant to enhance your body no matter the shape or size."

She concluded by stating: "Coasty Swim is all about bringing the good vibes, and we hope to reach every coastline around the world with our brand soon!”
