Getting engaged can easily be the most wonderful time in a young couple’s relationship. The Teen Mom cast members have experienced this firsthand — and some of them have experienced it on multiple occasions. But aside from the joy and magic of it all, engagements can also cause quite a stir in their personal lives.

Javi Marroquin’s love life is a bit complicated, to say the least. Within the past year, he’s had a relationship with three different women (that we know of). Two of them were his baby mamas, and two of them were Teen Mom stars! Talk about a tricky web of relationships.
Recently, he seems to have locked it down with his on-and-off girlfriend, Lauren Comeau. But unsurprisingly, the timeline of his relationship with her is a bit hard to follow as well.
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.”
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."

He added, "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.”
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.
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.”
Now, some fans think that Javi made another significant choice: getting down on one knee.
Javi recently shared a shot of him and his baby mama Lauren taking a classic mirror selfie together. But fans weren’t too impressed with the shot.

“Javi loves Javi so much he is staring at his image on the phone and not into the mirrror,” wrote phishDudeAbides on reddit. User jjjllleee123 agreed, “Him looking at himself like a creeper.” User randomacct78363 even wrote, “It almost looks like he’s grinding on her from behind. Weird.”
But it’s not just the self interest or the odd stance that has fans talking. Many noticed something in particular about this shot: Lauren seems to be wearing an engagement ring!
“Is that an engagement ring?!” wrote kenj101410. User coyoteopera replied, “It's Javi and they've been together longer than a month, so probably 😂” User benzarella even wrote, “They seem pretty immature. It might be a “promise ring”. I could see her being the type to wear one.”

There’s just one problem: if this is an engagement ring, it’s on the wrong hand! iPhone cameras are on the right side of the phone, which is the hand Lauren is using to hold it. However, fans had an explanation for this, too: “she prob put it on the right hand for the photo?” theorized moarcheezpleez.
Even though Lauren wearing the ring on her right hand throws these theories off, it’s not the only evidence that fans have that Javi and Lauren could be getting very serious.
Now that Lauren is pregnant with Javi’s child, fans have started to pay even more attention to her. That means following her across all of her social media accounts! It was her Instagram account that seemed to reveal a huge secret of hers and Javi’s.

“Welp…” Lauren wrote on this shot of her TV stand. “The TVs are gone on day 1 of selling furniture. No more excuses for not being productive I guess..” But it wasn’t Lauren’s words that caught fans’ eyes.
Many noticed that among her pictures and mementos, Lauren has two letters on her stand: L and M. Could it possibly stand for Lauren Marroquin?!
Whatever is going on between Javi and Lauren right now, it seems to be particularly serious. But recently, Javi’s ex girlfriend Briana DeJesus revealed that her relationship with Javi was anything but. In fact, she revealed that her entire relationship with Javi was fake!
Javi Marroquin and Briana DeJesus’s relationship began innocently, but what started as casual flirting and joking on social media soon evolved into something else entirely. Of course, they spent a good amount of time teasing fans about it on social media first.

When the two flew out to Los Angeles for the reunion filming, fans noticed that they were spending even more time together than usual. They shared some pretty sweet snaps on social media, including a shot of them posing together, which Briana captioned “Daddy Javi.” In another shot, Javi called Briana his “bae.”
It wasn’t much longer before Javi publicly confirmed that he was dating Briana. There was just one problem… Kailyn Lowry was far from happy about it. In fact, she and Briana recently got physical during their feud over Javi.
It’s safe to say that Briana and Javi’s relationship was one of the most explosive in the entire franchise — but everything must come to an end. Only a few months after they got together, the couple was explaining why they split.

For Briana, it came down to having conflicting views of the future.
“Javi and I are not together anymore,” she revealed to Blasting News. “Our future just doesn’t line up. He doesn’t want me to get my surgery for a breast lift, lipo, and tummy tuck (which I’m doing in two weeks) because it’ll look bad on his name at work.”
Javi has always spoken about wanting a big family and commitment, and apparently that didn’t sit right with Briana. “I don’t plan on moving in with him in the summer and for these reasons, he broke up with me,” she revealed.
Javi’s story is predictably different. “Some questions about our futures couldn’t be answered because we both do have kids and live two different lifestyles, her being in Florida and me in Delaware,” he told Radar Online. “I didn’t agree with some of her future plans being exposed for the world to see for our future and any future employers and I wish we could’ve compromised.”

He admitted that he was "overthinking," but said that he "couldn’t figure out a way to answer some of those questions.”
Even though Briana claims that the surgery is why they split, Javi insists that “[t]he surgery itself wasn’t the issue.”
Javi and Briana are both pretty hot-tempered, but they seem to be having a very amicable breakup. “Unfortunately it didn’t work out for us,” Javi said. He added:
“Bri is an amazing person with the biggest heart I’ve ever got to hold. Everything she goes through and she’s still selfless and does her best to please others. She’s got a bright future and she’ll make any guy feel special.”
Briana also seemed to wish Javi the best. “I have no bad things to say about him,” she confessed. “He wanted a wife and home right now and I didn’t see a reason to rush. I wish him the best going forward, and I am sad things panned out this way, but this is where things currently stand.”

“I’m hurting a little right now. I’m upset about it," Javi revealed at the time.
Clearly, their relationship took a toll on Briana, Javi, Kailyn, and the entire fanbase — but was it all for nothing?
During the most recent episode of Teen Mom 2, the end of Briana and Javi’s relationship comes to an end. It’s not easy to watch, but what’s more interesting is a tweet Briana shared while the show aired.
“That whole ‘relationship’ was fake btw,” Briana wrote in a now-deleted tweet.
A lot of fans weren’t surprised to hear this. “fake? with that electric chemistry?? Impossible!” wrote reddit user hissing-fauna sarcastically. User emdee39 joked, “Well I, for one, am SHOCKED to hear this.”
“I already knew that,” wrote TdubLakeO. “It was also very easy to see (in their body language when they were together) that they weren't in a sexual relationship. I'm so irritated that Briana is still going to be on the show!”

But others think that Briana is lying just so that she doesn’t look bad! “Not buying it- I wouldn’t get a matching tatt for a fake storyline,” wrote mmm3433. Bluebonnettxx wrote, “The whole relationship was fake, I just got matching tattoos with the guy, created a sh&t storm of drama, told his baby mama she was a fat b*tch and to suck my d*ck, and attended his sons birthday party, forcing the boys mother to have a separate party.... all for a fake tv relationship.” User jazzskimble chimed in, “why would you openly admit to that when ya’ll tried to join families with matching bday tshirts AND got matching tattoos. bri is so fake ugh.”
Briana shared more of her perspective on the episode. “I wonder how [Briana] feels watching tonight’s episode,” on Twitter user wrote. Briana replied, “I’m okay. It’s sad to see how fake the ‘relationship’ really was but hey! Least I’m not pregnant or stuck in Delaware.”

She later wrote on Instagram: “After watching some clips tonight, I’m just happy that part of my life isover. It’s frustrating to watch because my feelings were true and to see how fake everything was hurts but that’s in the past and I just want to move forward.”
Fans were a bit confused. “I love how she claims it was all faked but her feelings were real? Girl, wtf?” wrote constantreader55.
But some are interpreting her definition of “fake” a bit differently. “She did [admit the relationship was “fake”], but I know me and some other people thought she was saying it as far as Javi and his intentions towards the relationship. As in saying it was all fake because of him. I don't think she was admitting the entire thing was a sham. It's all on how you interpret it.

Some even pity her after this update. “I actually felt bad for Briana. She wanted the relationship to move at a steady normal pace and Javi's thirsty a** was like ‘well you've known me for like 3 months don't you wanna have my baby yet?!’” wrote summerallya. “And when Briana actually tried to be reasonable, he broke up with her. And from the looks of it, immediately went back to his ex talking shit about her. I was always kinda indifferent about Javi but this past episode has really made me hate him, and Kail. They're genuinely so terrible.”
