There's a new baby coming!
At this point in most of the Teen Mom stars’ lives, pregnancy announcements are to be expected. Many of the cast members are in stable relationships or married, and on top of the fact that they all have homes and stable incomes, they’re all also well into their twenties! That means that a pregnancy won’t shake up their lives nearly as much as it did when they were sixteen.
But there are still bound to be some pregnancies that totally shock fans. When Amber Portwood announced she was pregnant by her new man, Andrew Glennon, fans were completely blindsided. Now, Javi Marroquin is giving her a run for her money!
When Javi got back together with his ex-girlfriend, fans were surprised they were able to work things out. Still, no one was entirely sure they’d be in it for the long haul.
Well, now they absolutely will be! Javi has just revealed that he’s gotten his girlfriend pregnant. We know Kailyn’s not going to be too happy about this!
Keep reading to check out a behind-the-scenes take on Javi’s secret relationship!
Big News
Right now, Kailyn Lowry has a very blended family. She has three sons (Isaac, Lincoln, and Lux) all of whom have different fathers (Jo Rivera, Javi Marroquin, and Chris Lopez). This means her children have a lot of half-siblings, step-parents, and a very wide and growing family tree. Now, there’s one more little baby who will be joining the equation.
Of course, it takes two to tango. So who is his baby mama?
Off and On
Javi Marroquin has locked it down with his on-and-of girlfriend, Lauren Comeau. Fans will recall that his previous relationship with her put some tension on his co-parenting relationship with Kailyn.
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.”
Javi isn’t very good at being single for long stretches of time, and when he and Lauren broke up, he soon began dating Briana DeJesus. We all know how that went down, and it wasn’t pretty. And it was only a few months before 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.”
Huge News
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.”
As for Kailyn, her response was short: “I knew,” she told Radar. “I wish them the best.”
But fans weren’t able to keep it so concise.
Getting Messy
Reddit user clevelandcray was quick to break down all the issues. “All I can think about is trying to coordinate holidays and birthdays when there are so many different families involved. It makes my head spin,” they wrote. “If it's Kail's time with Lincoln does he miss this child's birthday? What if it's Isaac's' graduation? Does Lincoln have to choose between this brother's event and another siblings event? What about Lux? He's got two brothers who have other half siblings? Someone help me understand how the f*ck everyone feels connected and loved and not torn in too many different directions!”
“Call me old fashioned but I find it so wrong to have babies so early in a relationship,” wrote user mereltjec. “They will undoubtedly break up eventually and that'll be another kid with parents who aren't together. I hate that so many of these people have babies like it's nothing.” User madame_ joked, “Soon it may be worth it for Kail, her baby daddies, their new baby mamas, etc, to start a commune or something and collectively raise all the babies.”
Many were also quick to point out that in an alternate timeline, it could have been Briana’s baby announcement making a splash. “This could have been Bri. He tried making it be Bri. He tried making it be Kail. How does new girl not see that?” wrote spookyookydoo.
And they’re not wrong! Javi and Briana were talking about having a baby together during the New Year’s Eve reunion filming!
Moving Fast
At the time, Javi and Briana’s relationship was still under wraps, so they wouldn’t even hold hands on the couch while they chatted! “What are you excited for in 2018?” Javi asks Briana on the special.
“That I read my fortune over there… and all I saw was a belly, a little boy, another girl with a belly, and [the fortune teller] was like, ‘You’re gonna get pregnant soon!’” Briana reveals. Javi laughs and says “Holy s**t!”
“Stay away, Javi!” Briana says, pretending to hit him. Javi says, “Yeah, maybe we shouldn’t do this!”
Apparently, the fortune teller was adamant about Briana’s future. “She was like, ‘um, yeah, it’s gonna happen soon.’”
As for Javi, he got a different reading. “I went to see her too and I didn’t tell you what she told me. She didn’t say nothin crazy like that. She did just say that true happiness is in my future, like real soon. Somethin’ like that soooo…. I believed it.” (We all know that Javi has always found happiness in a big family!)
“We’ll see what happens in 2018!” Briana said. And only a few months later, they were talking about getting married!
“If we plan on getting married u gonna have to eat some shrimp lmfao,” Briana tweeted at Javi while they were still together.
Fans immediately began tweeting the couple about how quickly things were moving. “LMFAO CHILL. You’ve been dating how long? weeeaaaakkkk,” wrote user @misskayce2496.
User @starrshep_ wrote, “Didn’t y’all get together like an hour ago? Chillllllllllllll.”
Talking marriage so early in a relationship might scare a lot of people away, but it seems that Javi is ready to settle down just as much. A fan tweeted of Javi and Briana: “Haven’t they known each other for a while? I’m glad it happened. They look adorable together, and it’s the first time Bri looks super happy.”
Javi replied, “That’s what people don’t understand. The foundation has been there for years now we just build our empire.”
It’s clear that Javi is determined to build an empire, but it’s not so clear he minds who the empire is built with. In fact, the massive season nine sneak peek reveals confirms that Javi bought an engagement ring for Briana!
Popping the Question
“Briana really loves me and I see that,” Javi Marroquin says in the sneak peek, revealing an engagement ring he seems to have picked out for his girlfriend!
In the next moment, his friend says what everyone’s thinking: “Javi, you’re moving way too quick.”
Briana seems to have been very aware of Javi’s intentions. “If he does ask you to marry him, are you going to say yes?” one of her friends asks. Briana responds, “I don’t know!”
This bombshell has sent quite a ripple through the fanbase, but Briana has recently confirmed that the two never actually got engaged. She informed Radar Online that she would’ve said yes if “things were a little different.” But she did say that “[The ring] was pretty.”
It’s true that Javi and Lauren’s timeline is a bit hard to follow, especially when you throw Briana into the mix.
Now there’s a fourth person to join the mix: Kailyn herself! During the most recent reunion filming, Kailyn and Javi revealed that they hooked up after Javi and Briana split!
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.
Hooking Up
“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!
Fight, Fight, Fight!
“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*cking crazy. That’s on him.”
But Kailyn knows a thing or two about f*cking crazy. She proved it when news broke that she got violent with Briana during the most recent reunion filming!
According to The Ashley’s Reality Roundup, things were violent right off the bat.
"Reeeeeelax."
“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.”
Briana spilled her two cents to HollywoodLife.com. “I got to the studio. I get a text message and it’s Kail saying she wants to talk. So Production told me that she wants to squash the beef since we are on the same show. So I said ok. Kail didn’t want our ‘convo’ filmed so Production stood in the hallway.”
She's Out!
She went on to say, “When Kail walks in, she looked like she wanted to fight, so I’m like omg here we go. There’s 3 guards inside with us just in case so Kail starts yelling saying let me just hit her one time. She knew she wouldn’t be able to touch me because all the guards were holding her back, so whatever. That ended and I was like wait til I see you again.”
She revealed that producers asked her to film a segment, but when she walked out onstage, “The only person I saw was Kail sitting down so I just ran up. Guards got to me. I slipped and fell trying to get over the table to get to Kail and then my sister got into it.”
She added, “I do know that my sister tried to stop me at first when I ran out on the stage, but then Kail started to talk sh*t to Brittany, so Brittany got upset. I don’t want anyone to think we tried to jump her, cause we didn’t.” But security got involved before she could see what else happened. “IDK what else happened/what my sister did, cause I didn’t get to see cause I got tackled by security.”
Apparently, Briana was very upset. “After this all went down, Briana walked off stage and refused to film anything else. She got the next flight home that weekend and told Production she quit the show. She didn’t show up Sunday to film the reunion and has been back home in Florida since Sunday,” a source revealed to HollywoodLife.com.
In fact, all of the drama seems to be too much for Briana. She recently confirmed she has quit Teen Mom 2!
