Just straight facts about who did what on '16 and Pregnant!'
We all love 16 and Pregnant, but with so many episodes, sometimes it's hard to keep track of what exactly happened to each girl. In April, The Ashley did a breakdown of what happened to the cast members from MTV's most-missed reality TV show just by the numbers. Here's an update and a little bit more info for you super-fans out there!
'16 and Pregnant' ran five seasons
16 and Pregnant began airing in July of 2009. It ended in 2014 after running five seasons of varying lengths. Rumor had it that the show was renewed for a sixth season in 2015, but we've yet to see or hear anything else!
Fifty-nine girls were featured on the show
The show ran 59 regular episodes throughout the seasons, each focusing on the experience of pregnancy and new motherhood for a different teen. 16 and Pregnant also featured 13 "special episodes" that were in one of three formats—"Unseen Moments," "Life After Labor," and "Where Are They Now?"
Fifty-six of those girls kept the babies, while 3 opted for adoption
Although Catelynn Lowell from the show's first season (and now Teen Mom OG) became the show's early poster child for the choice of adoption, two other girls over the course of the series also decided to give up their babies.
During the show's second season Lori Wickelhaus put her son, Aidan, up for adoption as did Ashely Salazar with her daughter, Callie.
Forty-four girls never married the baby's father...
Considering that the couples were so young when they appeared on the show, it not surprising that most of them didn't stay together for the long haul (or at all).
And 15 did
Of the 15 who did get married only six of them are still together—Catelynn and Tyler (S1), Izabella and Jairo (S3), Jordan and Tyler (S4), Mackenzie and Josh (S4), Myranda and Eric (S4), and Summer and DJ (S5).
Ten girls stayed with the father
Even though only six of the couples are married, there are actually ten original 16 and Pregnant couples still together. In addition to the five listed above, Samantha and Eric (S2), Felicia and Alex (S2), Ashley and Justin (S2), and Hope and Ben (S4) have all stayed together.
Two of the fathers died
Not all of the young mothers had the option to stay with the father of their child. Both Farrah Abraham (S1, also Teen Mom OG) and Kristina Robinson-Head lost the fathers of their babies (Sophia and Lukas, respectively) before the children were born.
Ten married other men
Just because the 16 and Pregnant girls didn't marry their baby daddies doesn't mean that they haven't found love. Of the 49 who are no long with the fathers of their children, ten have since married (and stayed married to) other men.
By season...
1: Maci
2: Chelsea and Kayla
3: Jennifer, Kianna, and Allie
4: Lindsey, Sarah, Sabrina, and Kristina
Seven more are engaged
Of the 39 who are not yet married to anybody, seven more are currently engaged including Teen Mom OG Amber Portwood and season three's Millina Kacmar who both got engaged earlier this year.
The girls had 62 babies total
Although only 59 girls were profiled on the show, there are 62 16 and Pregnant babies. The difference between the number of mothers and babies is due to the fact that three of the teens had twins: Leah Messer (S2), Jennifer Del Rio-Guttierez, (S3), and Karley Shipley (S4). Also, of the 62 babies born to the 16 and Pregnant mothers, the gender distribution was exactly 50/50. Thirty one of the children are girls and 31 are boys!
Aidan and Aubrey are the most common names
Most of the girls picked unique names, but strangely variations of Aidan and Aubrey were the most popular choices for the young mothers. Three Aidans and three Aubreys (with different spellings) were born to mothers on the show.
Over half of the girls have had a second child
Of 59 girls profiled, 34 of them have already had a second child or are expecting one!
Fourteen of those girls had them with the same man
Of the 34 second time moms in the group, fourteen had (or are expecting) their second child by the same father as their first. Here's the breakdown by season:
1: Ebony, Whitney, and Catelynn
2: Brooke, Felicia, and Ashley (expecting)
3: Jordan, Danielle, and Izabella
4: Mackenzie, Jordan, Myranda, and Hope (expecting)
5: Summer
Seven girls have gone for baby #3
Finally, some of the 16 and Pregnant girls have opted for even bigger families. Seven of them have had (or are expecting) a third child.
Season one's Maci, two's, Jenelle, Leah, and Lori, season three's Jennifer, and season four's Kristina and Mackenzie have all had three children.
