Catelynn Lowell Hints at Divorce From Tyler Baltierra After Announcing New Show?

Source: Instagram @catelynnmtv

Some diehard Teen Mom fans would give anything for the show to air year round. But just like the rest of us, the stars need a break from it all, so Teen Mom OG and Teen Mom 2 alternate seasons throughout the year. This means there are several months when it’s difficult to know exactly what’s going on with a certain star, because their lives aren’t playing out on TV.

Unlike all of her co-stars, Catelynn Lowell is the only Teen Mom cast member who is still in a relationship with her first baby daddy. In fact, she married him! She and Tyler Baltierra have been together ever since their school days, and they have a strong foundation that’s gotten them through countless difficult situations. But can it get them through everything?

Even though fans have been rooting for these two from the very beginning, lately, things have seemed to grow strained between the couple. Unfortunately, now many believe that their relationship could be on the rocks… and Catelynn’s recent update seems to reveal this.

When they were sixteen years old, Catelynn and Tyler had to make a harder decision than many adults will ever face: should they raise a child they couldn’t provide for or give her up for adoption? It’s clear that it wasn’t easy for them to decide to place Carly up for adoption, and their parents didn’t make it any easier. Catelynn’s mother April and Tyler’s father Butch (who were romantically involved at the time) made it very clear they didn’t approve of their children’s decision with their grandchild. In fact, April and Butch attempted to get custody of Carly the same day that Catelynn and Tyler put her up for adoption!

Experiences like these have a way of fusing people together, and Catelynn and Tyler have been inseparable ever since. Their relationship wasn’t without its challenges, though, and they even spent some time on Marriage Boot Camp trying to work things out.

Eventually, they managed to patch things up, and soon they gave birth to their second child, Nova.

Even after the birth of their beautiful daughter, the couple continued to face difficulty. Catelynn soon plunged into a severe case of postpartum depression and became dependent on weed to get her through the day. Eventually she was able to recover with treatment, but, as we all know, it wasn’t a straight path upward for Catelynn.

In November of 2017, Catelynn checked herself into a rehabilitation program to seek intensive therapy for her anxiety and depression. On Nov. 17, she tweeted, “Well today I thought of every way to kill myself .. so I’m going to treatment.”

She gave more details to Radar, saying, “I’m taking the time I need right now to take good care of myself. On November 17th I thought of every way possible to commit suicide, from wrapping a belt around my neck to just running my car into an electric pole.”

Despite her difficulties, Catelynn is maintaining a positive attitude. “I’m seeking treatment and I WILL get better,” she said. “This won’t last forever.”

Tyler took to Twitter to show his support for his wife. He wrote, “Incredibly proud of my wife…when she thought she had no choices left, she reached out & decided to LIVE today! My life would be desolate without her in it. You are beautiful, strong, worthy, & loved.”
Fans were supportive of Catelynn’s decision, but many were confused about whether her choice had a trigger. Soon, an explanation came: Catelynn and Tyler had suffered a miscarriage.

“It is actually really sad,” the source revealed. “Catelynn got pregnant and surprised Tyler and Nova and then had a miscarriage not long after. That happened right before she went to treatment [in November] when she tweeted about thinking about killing herself.”

They went on, “The crew and production staff heard she was about six weeks pregnant when it happened, but no one is 100% sure.”

What’s worse is that Catelynn had to relive the experience as she went forward with filming. “Catelynn had to talk about trying to get pregnant and then getting pregnant even after she had the miscarriage. We felt badly for her,” the source said. They revealed that details should be coming soon, saying that the miscarriage “is definitely going to be a big topic on the show.”

Soon, the rumors were confirmed by Catelynn and Tyler on air.

“It was very traumatic,” Tyler recalled while cameras rolled on Teen Mom OG. It was clear that he was extremely shaken by this update as well. “You see her shaking and she got blood everywhere, you don’t know what to do.”

After Catelynn stopped losing blood, it became clear what had happened. “She kind of cleaned herself up and we figured what was going on.” Then, the couple shut down. “We sat in the bed and cried. Just held each other. There’s nothing you can really do.”

Catelynn got medical attention to confirm that she had indeed miscarried. It wasn’t much longer after that that Catelynn checked into a treatment center for having suicidal thoughts. In a later scene, Tyler broke down after learning his wife was in a bad place.

“When you love someone like that and they say that, it’s like...” he said, and then started to cry.

Tyler got support from his producer, Kerthy. “It’s incredible that you were able to find a treatment facility so quickly,” she said. “‘Cause once someone says they want to kill themselves, you can’t f*ck around.”

Tyler agreed, but it’s clear he still needs to process the event himself. “I really wanted that baby,” he said through tears. “LIfe’s just not giving me a break right now.”

After the episode aired, Tyler took to Twitter to reach out to fans about his experience. He wrote:

That baby may have not been fully grown in the womb...but it was fully grown in our hearts. For every parent out there who has lost a baby...it is not your fault & it is more than acceptable & understandable to mourn the loss of that baby & take your time to grieve #ParentStrong.”

It wasn’t long before Catelynn left her treatment center, revealing that she was no longer dependent on marijuana and that she was going to continue an aftercare and medication regimen with her therapist. Even though it was a great relief to many, it wasn’t long before fans began to worry about the state of her relationship with Tyler.

“Laying in bed next to my peacefully sleeping wife,” Tyler tweeted in April, alarming many fans. “I can hear my daughter snoozing away through the monitor in her room. My dog is cuddled up on the floor next to me…& yet I feel so empty...so alone,” he wrote, adding, “#TheCruelIronyOfLife.”

Catelynn soon responded, writing, “I am so sorry babe… I will do anything to help you… you are an amazing husband and father and are so caring, funny, and thoughtful… don’t let life bring you down because you are one strong man… I love you so much.”

Fans were quick to weigh in on the situation to Catelynn. “Don’t you 2 live in the same house?” asked Twitter user @big_toona99. “Can’t you say this face 2 face instead of on [social media]?” Catelynn replied, “[Tyler] is sleeping so gtfo.” Another fan wrote, “It’s time for Tyler to go and get help. Marriage is GIVE and take. He needs a mental break from you.” Catelynn shot back, “And he can have that! Y’all are so ignorant.”

But soon there was a much bigger hint about trouble in paradise: Catelynn dropped “Baltierra” from her name on Instagram.

After being Catelynn Baltierra on Instagram for years, Catelynn recently changed her name back to her maiden name, Catelynn Lowell. Even though it’s just one change, it has clear implications about the state of her relationship with Tyler, and fans were quick to theorize.

“[Tyler] also didn’t post for her during Mother’s Day, which is a red flag for someone who posts the way he does. Lack of wedding rings in his recent photos isn’t a good sign either. WE WANT THE TEA!!!” wrote reddit user penny-lane21. User DrDavidsKilt theorized, “Cate prob watched the new season and has had enough of Tyler's ‘sh*t talk Cate - then cry’ meals with mommy and sissy. I know i'd be like wtf already, you know a camera is there.” User Liltidbit agreed, “I was especially perturbed by Tyler discussing Cate's mental health with his drug addled sister. Of all people! It would be hard for me to come back from just one of those conversations. IMO Tyler isn't interesting enough on his own. He has no story without Cate.”

Others were disappointed just by the thought of the longstanding couple going down this path. “I will be so very sad if they’re splitting up,” wrote user mmm3343. “I loved them from day 1 and they’ve been through so much. I did think tho that their separate traumas pulled them together and they clung to each other in a sh*t storm. So maybe it’s unhealthy in the long run. But they both seem like such genuine people and have been so open and tried so hard to be the best parents they can be.”

Catelynn’s name change isn’t the only sign of trouble in paradise. User ellalovegood pointed out, “I also noticed that Cate hasn’t liked his Instagram posts since April 20th.”

In fact, Catelynn and Tyler had apparently stopped following one another on Instagram! “Tyler isn’t following her anymore either,” wrote user meeeeganlm. And on top of this, the two have just gone on trips... without one another!

User lyss383 was the first to spot the fact that Catelynn and Tyler were separated on Mother’s Day. “Cates been snap chatting a lot of Nova and her vacation and Tyler's nowhere to be found. I don't follow him on anything but I saw something about him maybe being in Texas? Anyone know what is going on with them? I think it's interesting they are apart, especially on mother's day after all of the time she's spent away from him already.”

User TylersMAHM wrote, “maybe they’re splitting. While I understand the apprehension re:Cate because of her past, etc. She does seem like the partner who is more stable on social media lately, and like the partner who has more reasonable boundaries with her cray cray addicted family? Maybe that’s why she is with Nova alone while Tyler tries to fix his family that will never be fixed? Maybe Cate is tired of being with a man who has prioritized his family who taken advantage of them and used them for years, realized he was bringing her down in treatment, is focusing on getting stable with her family and daughter, and he’s.... writing poetry?”

Source: Instagram @catelynnmtv

They were referring, of course, to the dark and depressing poetry that Tyler has been sampling across his social media recently. One reads:

”Yeah I hear all you b*tches, I hear all you hatin & tryin to belittle, but I am not brittle & you got me glitchin if you think I’m switchin, so stop all your flexin & stop all your b*tchin, your keyboard words can’t put me in stitches #KeepHatin #ItsFuelWhenImWritin ”

Another goes:

“It’s like my brain is so scattered that the moment I feel like I get what I’m after while climbing this ladder this person in the mirror just smiles through laughter, then smacks me in the face which starts the chase to this inevitable race to feeling broken, beate,n devalued, out of place & now I’m all off pace. It just leaves me shattered and every time I think about my life, my brain becomes battered with only one question...does my life really even matter!?”

After receiving concerns about his mental health from fans, Tyler eventually reached out to clear the air. He tweeted, “Listen guys, I write when I feel the emotional pain that comes from an emotional rage. I write to put some of these dark thoughts somewhere else besides my brain. This is not something to get all concerned about. This is healthy for me & an outlet to let these emotions out."

But Catelynn soon made a point to set the record straight. She restored her last name to “Baltierra” on her Instagram account. She also shared an update, writing, “[Tyler] and I are not getting a divorce. Couples go through ups and downs that’s normal life. We are a solid couple that will work through anything life throws at us!”

But is that entirely true? Now it seems that all may not be well!

Catelynn stirred things up when she revealed via social media that she was filming a new show!

“Super excited about this one,” she wrote on Instagram. “It’s going to be so much fun! Also a good experience to educate people.”

She attached a photo of her posing with John Quiñones, the host of What Would You Do? a hidden camera show where strangers’ reactions to controversial situations are filmed. She soon confirmed she was filming for his show on ABC.

“So much fun filming #WhatWouldYouDo today,” she wrote. “Was way different than #TeenMomOG and really cool to be apart [sic] of! Thanks guys!”

Soon after, Catelynn stirred up rumors again by posting a quote that reads, “You have to know that you are good enough and worth it. Once you master belief in yourself no one can steal that love from you.”

It doesn’t help that a source close to Catelynn and Tyler paint a picture of their relationship that’s not so great.

“Everything is not okay,” the insider spilled. “When I ask either Cate or Ty how they’re doing, thy make no mention of the spouse. It’s weird because they’ve never dodged questions like that before. I know Ty is having a hard time, he’s at the point where it’s like ‘I have to babysit my dad, I have to babysit my sister, I’m pretty much responsible for Cate and Nova...who is going to be responsible for me?’ He’s stuck in that mentality. He says the poems are therapeutic… but that doesn’t change the fact that his messages are cryptic.” The source added, “I very much think he’s depressed and he’ll admit it, but he’ll never admit he needs help.”
