The Untold Truth Of Danielle Busby

Danielle Busby's hit show OutDaughtered has a lot to offer, as any fan of reality television knows. The hit TLC series, which has been on the air since 2016, is definitely heartwarming. While the Busby daughters certainly steal the spotlight, fans can't help but also be obsessed with the busy matriarch of the Busby clan. Danielle certainly fits the "wonder woman" description, as she is a wife to husband Adam Busby and a mother to six daughters, including the only all-female set of quintuplets in the United States. 

Danielle's life is definitely fascinating. And it's only natural to wonder how she got to the point in her life where she is successfully juggling six children, a husband, a household, a blog, and so much more. Danielle may share a lot of her life on social media, television but there is still so much more to her than meets the eye. 

Anyone who has watched OutDaughtered knows that Danielle Busby and her husband, Adam Busby, have a super sweet relationship. While they've been through so much together, the Busbys started their relationship in a super adorable way. As she wrote on her blog, Danielle met her husband while the two were working at a local Target. Basically, the Busbys had a total millennial fairytale romance. Recalling how the start of their relationship, Danielle shared, "A few weeks go by where we started eating lunch and taking our Target 15 min breaks together...(so romantic). Adam finally asked me out on a date...wait I mean begged me."

After that, it wasn't that long until the two became an official couple, and two and a half years later, Adam proposed to Danielle on Christmas Eve. Now the two are happier than ever, and their sweet past is only part of their story. 

To OutDaughtered fans, it's obvious that Danielle Busby spends most of her time looking after her six children and taking care of them, their home, and just about everything else. However, she is far from a stay-at-home mom. In fact, Danielle's job has caused conflict for her and husband Adam Busby, as seen on the show. "I think Adam's upset about me going back to work because it's just gonna change the dynamics of how stuff gets done at the house," Danielle said in one episode of OutDaughtered after she expressed that she wanted to work more at their cycling studio. 

Danielle has also been very honest on her blog, It's A Buzz World, about how she'd always worked until she gave birth to the quints. "My whole life I adored kids, babysat all the time and could not wait to be a stay at home mom one day," she explained. "Well when that time came and we actually had Blayke, 3 months into maternity leave...I wanted to go back to work." Danielle is dedicated, and she definitely enjoys working — both in the home and out of it. 

Part of what makes OutDaughtered such a special show is that both Adam and Danielle Busby have such a clear love for their children. It's not easy to raise six daughters, especially when five of them are quints, but the Busbys make it happen in large part due to Danielle's affection for children. "My heart has always been drawn to kids and I know I have been given a special gift with children," she wrote on her blog, It's A Buzz World. "When I saw Adam had this same gift, I knew I would marry this man. We both knew we wanted to have kids but never imagined being faced with the challenges it would take to actually have kids." 

Of course, she and Adam did have some fertility struggles, and Danielle admitted it was shocking that they did, considering their shared love of children. "Adam and I both adore kids and we never ever imagined WE would have issues," she stated in a blog post. Still, they worked through their struggles and are now amazing parents to six daughters. No one deserves it more than these two! 

Danielle Busby and husband Adam Busby got married in 2006, so they've been together for quite some time. However, even with six children at home, the Busbys still manage to keep the spark alive, and Danielle's passion for date nights might be a big reason why. "Don't ever give up on your date nights," she told Us Weekly. "What we hear most from other couples is, 'We don't have time,' but we don't have time, we just make time. That's the advice is to find that day and make the time." 

While she enjoys having fun quality time with her husband, Danielle has also been honest about the struggles within her marriage. On OutDaughtered, Adam went through a rough patch when he was diagnosed with male postpartum depression, and, while Danielle tried to be supportive, she was having a hard time. "I just wish you would have been more open and said something to me instead of hiding it," she said in the episode, according to People. "You can't shut me out." Clearly, Danielle sees their relationship as a priority.

Danielle Busby knows a thing or two about what it's like to be on camera. Danielle and her husband, Adam Busby — and their entire family — live their lives on the small screen, and America is privy to much of their private lives with their show OutDaughtered. It can't be easy for Danielle, but she has said that she actually feels grateful and passionate about living her life in the public eye. While she didn't expect her life to turn out this way, Danielle is happy with how things are. "I never in a million years would have thought I would live a life with six beautiful girls and have a reality tv show," she wrote on the It's A Buzz World blog. 

However, despite all the negatives starring on a reality show can have, Danielle explained that she was confident she was doing what she was supposed to, based on her faith. "So we share... and we do share publicly, but that is because we feel God called us to do so," she shared. Danielle has embraced her life in the public eye and is doing what she feels called to do.

On many episodes of OutDaughtered, Danielle Busby and her husband, Adam Busby, can be seen spending time with her sisters, Ashley and Crystal, who are actually twins. Danielle really enjoys getting to spend time with them, and she has said that she appreciates them being there for her. In a 2016 interview with Channel Guide Magazine, Danielle explained that her family was on their TLC show a lot, and she liked it that way. 

"Would I have done the show without them? Well, it's made it more exciting with them," she explained. "I love being able to capture moments with them. And I see them all the time — especially my sister that lives here close to me — so it would have been weird not having her involved, them involved, because we're always together." Truly, as time has gone on, viewers have seen how close Danielle is to her sisters, and it's pretty heartwarming that she gets to see them as often as she does. 

Being a parent to any number of children is a challenge in and of itself, but as Danielle Busby is a mother to six daughters, she has had to adjust a lot along the way. Before having six children, the OutDaughtered star loved to cook, and, while she still appreciates preparing a delicious meal, she explained on her blog that making food can be stressful nowadays. "Cooking for a family of eight, is no joke," she wrote on her It's A Buzz World blog. "I feel like I cook for a cafeteria at least three times a day. I used to love to cook new meals and try new foods but a lot has changed in my cooking skills, lol. I don't necessarily enjoy it as much any more because I feel like I never get out of the kitchen." 

Fortunately, Danielle has a lot of easy, nutritious meals (which she posts the recipes for on her blog) that her husband, Adam Busby, and their family love.
