Busted!
Unexpected pregnancies have a way of shaking up the Teen Mom fanbase, and it’s not hard to see why. Even though many of the cast members are in stable relationships and are planning for more children, some of them have still shocked fans with their unplanned pregnancies.
Sometimes, these pregnancies still have a way of working out for the best. Even though Amber Portwood didn’t plan her second pregnancy with Andrew Glennon, she and her new man seem to be happier and healthier than ever with each other and their new son James. But not everyone’s shocker pregnancies had such a happy ending.
Now, to everyone’s surprise, it’s not a Teen Mom who has just announced another pregnancy… it’s a Teen Dad! After dating Briana DeJesus only six months ago, Javi has just announced that he and his new girlfriend, Lauren Comeau, are expecting their first child together.
It’s not hard to see why this made such a splash in the Teen Mom community. Javi has jumped from girl to girl many times in the past few months, dating Lauren, Briana DeJesus, and then Lauren again… and he’s left nothing but drama and destruction in his path.
At first glance, his pregnancy announcement was super shocking, but could it be even more scandalous than it seemed on the surface?
Considering how pregnant Javi’s girlfriend already is, fans have started to wonder just when he got her pregnant. Is it possible that Javi got Lauren pregnant while he was still dating Briana?

Happiest I've Ever Been
The timeline of Javi’s relationship with his new baby mama, Lauren Comeau, is a little hard to follow. That’s because they’ve been on-and-off practically since they first started dating.
The two began dating long-distance after meeting at a wedding. Javi was in Delaware while his bae lived in Charleston, South Carolina. “We met at one of our best friend’s weddings,” Javi told Radar Online. “She was the maid of honor.” He revealed that their relationship was “fairly new” but that he “[didn’t] feel that way.” (We all know that Javi is an expert of moving super fast in relationships.) “This one feels right. We decided we’d give it a try officially at the wedding this past weekend.” Lauren was also the fourth girl he dated in the year after he split from Kailyn.
Unfortunately, their relationship didn’t last very long. The stress of having a public relationship was too much for Lauren, and the couple split in September of 2017.
“I love Lauren, but unfortunately it didn’t work out,” Javi informed Radar. “I’m learning not everyone wants the attention. Dating someone on a TV show is tough. I think Lauren had a hard time adjusting to that and I had a hard time understanding that.”
“It was a lot for her and we couldn’t fix it,” he explained. “I learned for my next relationship that I have to put myself in the other person’s shoes.”
But he made it clear that he wasn’t totally over Lauren. “I never believed in love at first sight, but when I saw Lauren I definitely did,” he said. “I’m hoping Lauren and I can figure this out because she made me the happiest I’ve ever been.”
Baby Marroquin
Well, they managed to figure it out. It was only a few months after breaking up with Briana DeJesus that Javi got back together with Lauren. He shared a picture of them embracing and wrote, “Sometimes, two people need to fall apart to realize how much they need to fall back together.” Now, the couple has some massive news to share.
Even though they only got together two months ago, they clearly didn’t waste any time. Javi has just confirmed to Radar that his girlfriend Lauren is pregnant (yes, with his child).
“Blessings on top of blessings,” Javi wrote on a picture of him cradling Lauren’s baby bump on his private Facebook page. Lauren wrote, “Sometimes life’s biggest blessings come in the smallest packages. Baby Marroquin coming soon!”
He took to Instagram to write:
"Been kinda quiet lately for many reasons. I was sad I couldn’t share the good news because I was afraid of what people would say. The amount of love I’ve received is so overwhelming and so appreciated. I realized No negative comment will take this moment away from us. A baby is a blessing and I am ecstatic for the future. Lincoln is happy, I’m happy, and Lauren is happy. Gonna go on a little hiatus from social media to take all this in and enjoy it with my family and loved ones. For those sending love, thank you! We appreciate it. And to you @lauren3elizabeth thank you for blessing me with another child. We are gonna be amazing parents together."
4-year-old Lincoln was also in the announcement. He held four sonograms and wore a shirt that read “Super Big Bro.”
Fishy Timeline
Fans are divided about this news (well, let’s be real: most fans are pretty shocked), but what’s more alarming is the timeline of everything.
July - September 2017: Javi meet and begin dating Lauren Comeau, and then they break up.
October 2017 - January 2018: Javi begins dating Briana, and they also crash and burn.
January 2018: Javi and Kailyn don’t get back together, but they get awfully close.
March 2018: Javi begins dating Lauren Comeau.
May 30, 2018: Javi and Lauren announce they are pregnant.
With a timeline this tight, things start to look a bit sketchy. But what’s even sketchier is the fact that Lauren appears to be more than just a few weeks along in their pregnancy announcement picture. In fact, many fans believe that Javi could have gotten Lauren pregnant while he was with Briana.
“Neither Javi nor Lauren announced [the] due date or how far along she is for one reason and one reason only….” wrote reddit user boobopbadaboop. “The baby was conceived at a time that neither of them can explain without looking like complete idiots. That is all.” Many fans agreed, and several weren’t convinced Lauren was less than three months pregnant.
“No one takes photos cradling their bump in the first trimester!” wrote reddit user clevelandcray.
Messy!
It’s not clear whether Javi was dating Briana when he and Lauren got pregnant, but it appears to be awfully close. “Don't most people wait until 3 months or after to announce a pregnancy just because there is that risk of possibly having a miscarriage during the first trimester? So that would mean she conceived around March 1st or so. Right? aye carumba!” wrote user youvecattobeekittenme. User MeekoTheRacoon shared, “I only looked like this at 6 months.” Zombieforthtbombweed wrote, “She's a fit girl and while I know EVERY woman carries differently, her bump is pretty big to be just 1-3 months.”
Luckily, all of the fans’ answers will be answered when Lauren gives birth. If Javi was dating Briana nine months prior… it’s not going to be pretty. Fans can’t yet agree on whether Javi cheated, but they can all agree that the timeline is “messy.”
“Even if she was six weeks that is still unbelievably messy and stupid,” wrote FatnissEvermeow. User lumosnox315 wrote, “How can this girl trust Javi when he clearly was talking to Kail and Bri and trying to get them pregnant too? Girl, run!” User Spiffyfunpants wrote, “She genuinely seems like a nice, fun, chill, down-to-earth kinda girl. I feel bad that she is permanently linked to this garbage person and his incessant chaos. I mean, CHOICES, but still.”
As for Kailyn and Briana, they’ve been remarkably calm about this news. As for Kailyn, her response was short: “I knew,” she told Radar. “I wish them the best.”
Briana was similarly kind. “Aw, I’m happy for them, she told Radar Online. “Best of luck. That’s all he wanted so I’m glad he got it.”
Kailyn went on to tweet vaguely, “Too many things happening at one time. Been feeling a lot of regret lately. Made some sh*tty choices over the last few months.”
She may be referring to one more element of the timeline: the fact that she secretly hooked up with Javi after he dumped Briana!
The Hook Up
“Javi and I definitely talked about [getting back together],” Kailyn spilled to Radar Online last week. “There were times where we were maybe getting back together,” she explained. But another inside source has much more to add on the subject.
Teen Mom gossip YouTuber The Grace Report received a special insight from an anonymous member of the reunion audience.
“Dr. Drew asked Javi point blank, ‘Do you think that you’re a love addict or a sex addict? Is that why you can’t seem to stay single?’” Grace pointed out that Javi has hopped from relationship to relationship, dating Lauren Comeau, Briana DeJesus, and Lauren Comeau again! Javi can also be seen showing off a ring he got to propose to Briana in the sneak peek for the season. According to Grace, that’s what broke up his relationship with Briana DeJesus!
“It freaked out her mom Roxanne so badly that she was like, ‘Dude, pump the brakes on this! A ring for my daughter already? This is not going to fly at my house!’” Grace explained.
But is it possible that Javi is jumping from relationship to relationship because of Kailyn? Luckily, Grace got down to it.
Kailyn has insisted from the very beginning of this season that she isn’t salty about Javi moving on at all, but fans aren’t exactly buying it, and neither is The Grace Report’s source.
“Well, guess what’s going to come out in the upcoming reunion special?” Grace reveals. “Kail hooked up with Javi after he and Briana broke up!” And like many fans who have noticed Kailyn’s jealousy over the relationship, Grace was not surprised to hear this news from the source. Shockingly, it was Kail who made the first move!
“They both admitted on stage that it was Kail who tried to get into Javi’s pants,” Grace revealed. Apparently, whatever her tactic was, it worked.
Ready to Fight!
Kailyn’s take on things is a little different. “We knew in the back of our minds it wasn’t going to work,” she claimed to Radar. She insisted that now all hope of her getting back with Javi is over. “I don’t know why we talked about it. I wouldn’t get back together with him.” She cites his relationship with Briana as a huge reason for the split.
“Javi and I were in such a good place right before Briana and him started dating,” she told Radar. “We worked so hard to get there. It was disappointing when it all fell apart.” She explained that watching the recently-aired episodes has made tensions high again. “Watching back is really hard,” she spilled. And the bombshell of Javi’s proposal didn’t help.
“I did not know about the proposal until after they broke up,” she said. “I would’ve told him he’s f**king crazy. That’s on him.”
Kailyn has learned quite a bit about f*cking crazy recently. The craziness broke out when Kailyn got violent with Briana during the most recent reunion filming!
According to The Ashley’s Reality Roundup, things were violent right off the bat.
“Briana was the last girl called to the stage, and she came out and went right at Kail,” a source informed The Ashley. “Briana’s sister Brittany DeJesus was on set too and she jumped in and got in Kail’s face. They started swinging at each other and Kail was motioning to Bri to ‘Bring it on!’ Everyone else that was on stage scattered to get out of the way,” the first source said. “Even Dr. Drew ran out of there.”
Another source said, “There had been a lot of back-and-forth instigation on both ends before the girls got on the stage. That’s why Bri came out ready to fight.”
Kail spilled her side of events to E! News.
“Brittany ran up behind me and pulled my hair,” Kailyn explained. “That was it.” She added, “I confronted [Briana] alone and she wouldn’t get up. I just wanted to hash it out. But she didn’t want to,” Kailyn explained. “We went into a private room without cameras and I told her to get up. She wouldn't’ get up. That was that.” Later, she tweeted, “I didn’t get beat up. I didn’t get hit. Reeeeeeeeeelax.”
But Kailyn may have too much on her plate to care about Javi’s pregnancy news. She recently revealed that she recently filmed for a brand new show!
No Luck
“I’m going on a dating show next week!” Kailyn revealed on her podcast Coffee Convos, which she hosts with fellow reality star Lindsey Chrisley. Kailyn flew out to Los Angeles today, and she’s currently filming her new show!
The show Kailyn will be starring on is known as Perfect Match, and the premise seems to revolve around dating celebrity look-alikes. The casting call reads, “Want to date someone from your favorite MTV show? Now casting singles who appear to be between the ages of 21-35. Are you often told you look like one of the following celebs: Gigi Hadid, Selena Gomez, J. Lo, Ciara, Megan Fox, Quavo, The Rock or Jason Momoa? If so, we want to meet you for a groundbreaking new dating show!”
Although it’s still unconfirmed, seems that Kail has chosen the Quavo look-a-likes to date!
Even though this is exciting news for Kailyn, fans had mixed feelings about her announcement.
“Can’t imagine having an infant let alone two other kids and be that worried about dating,” wrote reddit user Dramallama88. “This also seems so shallow to me to date solely off their lookalikes.” User Dls1989 wrote, “Doing anything to find that 4th baby daddy/sperm donor.”
Unfortunately, it seems that Kailyn didn’t find any Quavo lookalikes that were able to steal her heart. In fact, she seemed very upset about it. After her return, she tweeted, “This weekend was a waste of my time lol. Shoulda stayed home.” She later tweeted, “Update: I’m not dating anyone #teenmom2.”
Cheater, Cheater
However, this last tweet could have been more to update fans who are wondering about her relationship with Dominique Potter!
The news of Kailyn’s hookup with Javi came as a huge shock to many fans, but it came as a particular shock to one person in particular: Kailyn’s ex-girlfriend, Dom!
When The Grace Report shared her video, she updated her Twitter with the news. “NEW VIDEO: [Javi] exposes [Kailyn] for running back to him!” she wrote.
Dom responded to the tweet, writing, “Wow. Lol [Kailyn] was actually dating me at the time…. Thanks for the info.”
Ouch. It sucks to find out you’ve been cheated on, but this reveal has to hurt more than most! Luckily, Dom had full support of the Teen Mom fans.
“Welp. Kail sure does love cheating,” wrote reddit user WhoWhichWhatsit3. “She’s just dug herself a bigger hole. Wow.” User -yassss- wrote, “Kail cheating is as sure as the full moon rising.” User thisismynameyouread wrote, “I’m sure Kail will somehow make this into Dom’s fault.”
After the most recent episode revealed their flirtation, Dom took to Twitter with her own take on things. She retweeted Kailyn’s tweet that read, “Update: I’m not dating anyone #teenmom2,” and added, “Anymore*.” She also tweeted, “Kailyn's friend” with two laughing emojis. She retweeted a tweet that reads, “I’m low key overly excited to see @KailLowry and [Dom] on teen mom 2 tonight,” and added, “That makes one of us.”
“It’s sad that Kail seems to be loving the novelty aspect of having a girlfriend and Dom seems to have perceived it as legit and came off hurt now,” wrote reddit user ChristinaCBasicB*tch. User WittiestScreenName summed it up by saying, “Kailyn treats people terribly.” User britany16691 wrote, “I genuinely like Dom and never have had an issue with her. Plus she’s gorgeous. Kail is the one who f*cked this up. I don’t feel sorry for her at all for losing a gem like Dom.”
