Right now, to say that Javi Marroquin has his hands full is a bit of an understatement. He has a new girlfriend and a new baby on the way, and he’s probably very busy deflecting hate from his fans and exes alike. But now, he’s speaking out about locking it down and walking down the aisle.

Right now on Teen Mom 2, fans are getting to see the beginnings of Javi Marroquin’s controversial relationship with Briana DeJesus. But in real time, Javi is practically living an entirely different life: he’s locked it down with his on-and-off girlfriend, Lauren Comeau, who is pregnant with his child!

It’s pretty hard to follow, and the timeline doesn’t exactly paint Javi in the best light.
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.

Javi and Lauren 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.”

Then…. Well, we all know what happened next. Javi got Lauren pregnant!

The timeline is hard to follow, but it breaks down to something like this:

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.

But what’s even sketchier is the fact that Javi recently got down on one knee... To propose to a different girl! On Teen Mom 2, we discovered that Javi decided that Briana was the one!

“Briana really cares about me. She really loves me, and I see that,” Javi spilled to his sister, showing off the ring.

But in another scene, Briana’s mother Roxanne forced her daughter to get real about the situation. With the engagement looming, she asked Briana what she would do if and when Javi popped the question.

“[Javi] asked for my blessings in asking you to marry him,” Roxanne spilled. “You need to be ready! You need to think about it. Would you say yes to him?”

Briana spills that she isn’t sure. “I don’t know, can we not talk about it?!”

“If you feel in your heart that it’s really going well with Javi, you have to let me know… It’s my job. I’m your mother!’ Roxanne says, then she lists plenty of reasons it might not work: “He has baggage, you have baggage. You’re in different states… MTV, Teen Mom, his past relationships…”

In a later scene, Briana spills to her friend that she isn’t so sure about it. “I don’t know why he wants to propose right now,” she confesses. “We’ve had a conversation about what we want for our lives and what we want in the future, but it wasn’t like ‘I want to get married with you, I want to have your kids right now.’” She adds, “We’ve only been together for a few months, so it’s, like, super fast.”

“If he does ask you to marry him this weekend, are you going to say yes or no?” Briana’s friend asks. She spills, “I don’t know!”

After Briana’s trip to Delaware, she spills the news to her sister Brittany. “I went to Delaware with Javi to visit,” she says. “I knew about the ring. Mom told me about it. I’d just never seen it.” She adds, “He gave it to me, but it wasn’t a proposal. He didn’t get on one knee, it wasn’t like ‘Will you Marry me?’”

But it didn’t feel right to Briana. “That’s not my ideal proposal, and I wasn’t going to accept the ring,” she explained. “He showed me the ring; I thought it was beautiful. I think we’re going to wait. It’s not the right time. I gave it back to him.”

Apparently, Javi was absolutely ready to start a family with her. “He wants to marry me,” Briana says. “He wants me to have his children. He wants me to move in with him. There’s a lot of stuff that he wants… I told him, we have some time to think about it; we don’t have to rush.” She adds, “Javi is a person that wants things done yesterday. If it wasn’t done yesterday then he starts panicking… But that’s not how I live my life.”

Unfortunately, Briana and Brittany seem concerned that Javi’s fast-paced goals will outpace Briana. “You think he’s going to be able to take it slow and respect what you want?” Brittany asks. “Do you think he cares enough about you to wait?”

“I don’t know!” Briana admits.

Sadly for fans, there was no footage taken of Briana and Javi’s proposal. That means all we have to go on is Briana’s word! Well, now Javi is revealing that things didn’t go down like that — and he doesn’t seem happy.

“99% wrong,” Javi started out a now-deleted Twitter tirade.

“Wait… Im just now getting the cliff notes on last nights episode. she really said she said no lmao! Ok.” He went on: “makes sense. at the reunion when I told them what happened they kept asking me the same question as if I was supposed to say something different…they probably wont air it though. anyways, all good though...I’ve moved on from the past, most importantly I have accepted it..looking forward to the future. All love!”

But Javi claims he’s not trying to start anything.

He wrote:

“I’m not going to sit here and spill the tea on social media or on an aftershow because at one point, we were rocking for each other... regardless of how one feels now, doesn’t take away how I felt in that time… so everyone can think they know how the situation went down but me and you both know how it really went down…. I choose not to comment and decline when asked for a comment because I have nothing bad to say/don’t need to relive it over again..find a new storyline… life goes on…”

A fan wrote in, “You have no problem spilling the Tea on Kail though?” Javi replied, “I regret that, I was hurt, I was angry, I was emotional..couldn’t find a way to control my feelings but I apologized and moved on. That happened like 2 years ago...but again..def something I wish I could take back.”

Even though Javi claims he’s not trying to start anything, fans aren’t buying it. “JAVI! Idk if you’ve lost track of your own psychotically messy life (it would be understandable if you have), but you got a different girl pregnant. Stop talking about proposing to Bri! STOP,” wrote reddit user justoneofmattskids. User healthyygirl wrote, “It’s so gross that he’s tweeting this sh*t while he is in a new relationship & has a baby on the way. Move on man. If I were Lauren it would really hurt.” User pixelpeg pondered, “I wonder if Javi tweets while being in the same room as his new pregnant gf.”

This time around, fans are decidedly siding with Briana. “If she did say yes that just makes Javi look worse. He was ENGAGED while sleeping with two other women. This doesn’t make it better for him,” pointed out LolaSparkles.

But some did believe Javi. “I think she said yes. Remember in the episode Roxanne freaks out and tells Brittney that Briana said yes, this is confirmed when Bri and Brit sit down to talk.Even on TRL they slightly skim over the subject,” pointed out i-am-canadian-sorry. “Also that twitter fight where Roxanne was freaking out over Briana leaving, I think Briana got scared her mom and sister would disown her and start sh*t so she stayed with them.”

Regardless of what really went down with Briana and Javi, Javi has quickly moved on. In fact, it seems that his girlfriend and baby mama Lauren is moving in with him!

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?!

It’s possible that Javi and Lauren secretly got married, or are planning to very soon. In the meantime, they’ll be busy preparing for Javi’s second child to be born. In his announcement, Javi stands with his arm around Lauren as she cradles her notable baby bump.

Javi wrote, “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.”

Recently, there was another addition to this love triangle that would make things immensely more complicated. Fans have recently been wondering if Briana could be pregnant with Javi’s child!

It’s not uncommon for the girls to face pregnancy speculation based on their changing physiques. Even though fans’ pregnancy suspicions sometimes get dangerously close to body shaming, the truth is, sometimes their suspicions are right! In fact, fans spotted Jenelle Evans’ and Chelsea Houska’s most recent pregnancies before the were announced just by noticing changes in the cast members’ physiques.

Briana recently shared a picture of herself in a fitting room on Instagram. In the shot, she’s wearing a tightly-fitted skirt and top, and she included two suspicious eye emojis in the picture. It wasn’t long before fans began to wonder if she could be pregnant again.

“And it’s javi’s 😂😂😂” theorized reddit user Allyshamarie37. “Can you imagine him expecting two kids at the same time! Or better yet, kail too since he was rumored to be juggling all 3.” User lucillebluth1213 agreed, “Ugh I’d die if she and Lauren were both having javis baby at the same time.”

“I’m hoping it’s just an unfortunate angle and a poor choice of outfit, for her sake and the sake of Nova and Stella. But for our sakes, bring onnn the baybay,” chimed in ChristinaCBasicB*tch.

But some believe just the opposite: that Briana might be faking a pregnancy just to get people to talk about her!

“Attention seeking is more like it,” wrote user uknowhowchoicesbe. “This pregnant speculation is exactly what she is trying to achieve with this angle/googly eyes emojis. Then she will turn around and be like ‘why does everyone think I'm pregnant? That is so rude!’” User RandR0088 agreed, “She is at the very least pushing her stomach out to look pregnant. She knows how to get people taking.”

It certainly can’t be easy for Lauren to know that there’s so much speculation about her baby daddy’s fidelity. But it probably also doesn’t help that Kailyn recently confirmed she hooked up with Javi only a few months ago!

MTV has the difficult task of whittling hundreds of hours of footage down into 45-minute episodes for television. That means a lot of drama is going to be left on the cutting room floor. Luckily, during the reunion specials, a live studio audience bears witness to everything the cast members say. 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.

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.”
