Chelsea Laden’s future husband, Jake Rancic, is an optometrist, just like her. The former ice hockey player began dating her fiance in 2019.
Dr. Chelsea Laden and her fiance Dr. Jake Rancic met at the Illinois College of Optometry as they chased their dreams. The couple seems to want to settle down after achieving their goals.
Laden is a multifaceted woman. A former top-notch ice-hockey player for Quinnipiac Bobcats, Chelsea featured in the first edition of PHF for Connecticut Whales.
She then changed her athletic route to an academic route and currently pairs it with a career in the entertainment industry. With her brother, Dakota, and two friends, Tanner and Alex, Chelsea started a paranormal YouTube channel Project Fear.
Many athletes have YouTube channels, such as Jimmy Butler, but they focus on videos relating to their careers. But Chelsea has taken a drastic route with her YouTube career.
