The news is out: Javi Marroquin of Teen Mom 2 is having a new baby! Read what Kailyn Lowry has to say about his surprise Instagram reveal, his lies surrounding the pregnancy, and his recent relationship with her Teen Mom 2 co-star Briana DeJesus.
Kailyn Lowry’s family tree is still growing! Her son, Lincoln, will soon have a new sibling.
How does Kailyn feel about the latest pregnancy announcement? After all, she and Javi Marroquin have had some high-profile drama in recent months.
Is the upcoming baby going to be a huge problem? Kailyn finally broke her silence about the latest Teen Mom turmoil.
Javi has become known for diving headfirst into serious relationships. After he started dating Kailyn, they moved in together after only a few short months and an engagement followed after only a year of dating. In an infamous Teen Mom 2 moment, Kailyn and Javi inked infinity signs on their bodies to symbolize their “eternal” romance.
Kailyn already had two sons from previous relationships before she gave birth to Lincoln, her son with Javi. The stress eventually became too much for the young couple and they divorced while Javi was serving overseas in the U.S. Air Force.
After he and Kailyn made the decision to end their relationship, Javi seemed desperate to fill the hole in his heart. He was publically linked to different women, including Real World star Madison Walls, and even submitted an audition tape for MTV’s Are You the One? .
After a string of unsuccessful relationships, Javi began controversially datingTeen Mom 2 co-star Briana DeJesus. In typical Javi fashion, things moved quickly for the young couple.
During their brief long-distance romance, the couple got matching tattoos of king and queen chess pieces. At the tattoo parlor, Javi told Briana, “Sorry, we can’t break up. You’re stuck with me forever in some way.”
Javi was truly ready to settle down with Briana. As Teen Mom Talk Now previously reported, MTV aired footage of Javi showing off an engagement ring that he bought.
“Briana really loves me and I see that,” Javi says, revealing the ring intended for his girlfriend of a few months.
In the next moment, his friend states the obvious: “Javi, you’re moving way too quick.”
Later, in a shocking MTV clip, Briana’s mother asks her if Javi was the one and Briana tells her, “I don’t know.”
Their relationship did not even last long enough to see their episodes air on MTV. Though they were broken up at the time, Javi still flew to Miami to support Briana during her extensive plastic surgery. His trip ended in a sudden departure after he learned that her baby daddy, Devoin Austin, was there as well.
“I was there to support…” he told Radar Online. “We talked about other things. People just decided to show up and wanted to stir up the pot. I didn’t want to be part of it. I got on the next flight out of there.”
He explained that he and Briana “weren’t clicking” anymore. “I thought we were on the same page at one point, but everything spiraled,” he continued. “‘What is going on? This is not what we were just talking about.’ I really want nothing to do with them, but unfortunately we work for the same company and we work on the same show. I have to see her in the future. Until then, I don’t think about them.”
Luckily for Javi and Briana, they only share a TV show, not a child. Fans will recall that Javi’s romantic escapades put some serious tension on his co-parenting relationship with Kailyn.
In an episode of her podcast Coffee Convos featuring special guest star Javi, Kailyn told him “[Briana and I] will never get along. You allowed her to disrespect...When I said what I had to say in a nice way you defended her and not me.”
Kailyn took the opportunity to point out Briana’s bad behavior: “Telling the mother of your child to ‘suck her d**k’ and that I’m a ‘dumb b***h’ doesn’t portray her as a good person.”
Briana was tuning in to the podcast and she had even more to say to Kailyn. “Let me spill some tea for u guys,” Briana began a now-deleted Twitter rant. She told fans she had “all rights to get out of character,” adding, “Don’t act like the victim because you were the one who made this issue what it is.”
According to her rant, Kailyn called her at 7 a.m. and told her not to post about her on social media. Then, according to Briana, Kailyn went on to gossip about her and “bad mouth” her to Javi. “That’s when the line gets crossed,” Briana wrote. “I’ll say [suck] my d**k whenever I want to whoever I want...,” she went on.
On her podcast, Kailyn said she would apologize “when pigs fly.”
Briana responded to Kailyn on Twitter, saying, “And you are right, ill never say sorry cause I am not the one who started all this mess.” She raged: “I am not the common denominator as to why yall fail to co parent so dont ever use my name in that matter again. Don’t sit here and say I am the issue cause I AM NOT.”
Briana also turned her wrath to Javi, tweeting, “Dont say u dont know what the future holds to someone but in my msgs saying u wanna marry me. In reality u only care bout ur feelings and not anyone elses.” She even wrote, “AND DONT SIT HERE TRYNA PLAY MIND GAMES WHEN THE REAL REASON WHY WE ARE HERE IS BECAUSE OF U..JAVI.”
These off-screen clashes came to a head when the girls brawled at the reunion special.
Though his exes’ fiery fight was the highlight of the taping, Javi himself was not even present. In hindsight, maybe he was busy with a new lady.
As Teen Mom Talk Now previously reported, Kailyn was angry that Javi didn’t go to the drama-filled reunion.
“None of my baby daddies are going to be at the reunion, I’ve heard. Javi doesn’t want to go, I’m pretty sure, because of the Briana drama,” Kail spilled on her podcast. “You know Javi loves his camera time and will do anything to be in front of a camera,” Kailyn continued. “But the fact that he is basically b*tching out, at a time where I feel like he needs to speak the f*ck up, I’m a little salty.”
She later commented on the Briana drama on Coffee Convos, “I was married to someone for 5 years and never dogged him out or exposed him for a lot of the things that he did.” Despite her loyalty to her ex-husband, will Javi’s latest pregnancy shocker make Kailyn break her silence on their troubled relationship?
Though Kailyn and Javi have had their share of publicized fights, Javi has held out hope for their relationship. “We have our own private discussions just me and her,” Marroquin, 25, told Radar Online about Kailyn Lowry.
“But a lot happened between us in the past. On my behalf, I’ve moved on from all of that. I’m in a lot better place than I was when all of that was happening.” He added, “We have the weirdest relationship in the world. We can’t even explain it to anybody...”
However, Kailyn was not on the same page in their “private discussions.” She blasted Javi on Twitter in March and ruled out any possibility of the couple re-uniting.
“If you have a child [with] someone [I don’t care] how bad it gets you don’t let someone go after the other parent,” she tweeted, ostensibly about Briana. Kailyn added, “How can you get back with someone who didn’t have your back when y’all were together?” She ranted: “And then he has the audacity to go on twitter and [Instagram] as if we are working things out. Well, my friends, I’m sorry that’s not true.”
So how did Javi react after Kailyn put him on blast?
Once Kailyn ruled out any possibility of a reunion between the couple, Javi was not alone for long. He announced in March that he had re-kindled the flame with ex-girlfriend Lauren Comeau.
Lauren was the fourth girl that he dated in the year following the divorce. They split shortly before he began dating Briana. It came as an absolute shock to Kailyn and fans of the show when Javi began dating Lauren again. The two began dating after meeting at a wedding in 2017. Javi was living in Delaware near Kailyn and their son, while Lauren lived in Charleston, South Carolina.
“We met at one of our best friend’s weddings,” Javi told Radar Online at the time. “She was the maid of honor.”
He revealed that their relationship was “fairly new” but that he “[didn’t] feel that way.” “This one feels right,” Javi shared. “We decided we’d give it a try officially at the wedding...”
Unfortunately, their relationship didn’t last very long. The stress of having a public relationship was too much for Lauren, and the couple split after a few short months 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 Javi 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.”
Let’s hope that the pair has finally settled their on-again off-again relationship because Javi had one more surprise up his sleeve. As Teen Mom Talk Now previously reported, Lauren Comeau is pregnant with the couple’s first 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!”
Javi revealed the pregnancy in a shocking Instagram post featuring Lauren’s hand resting on her growing bump and son Lincoln holding the ultrasound photos of the new baby.
He shared in the post:
"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."
The recent pregnancy announcement left fans in shock, as Javi and Briana only just broke up in January. Based on the size of Lauren’s bump, fans are speculating that Javi may have cheated on Briana during their intense romance. Their short-lived romance only ended in January.
To complicate things even more, Kailyn and Javi spent some close time together after the end of his relationship with Briana. While fans are going wild wondering how Javi has been spending his spring, Kailyn dropped a bombshell on her podcast Coffee Convos about her thoughts on the new baby.
Though it is unconfirmed, Kailyn guessed the baby’s age at “between three and four months” after seeing the photos of Javi and Lauren. Though she didn’t reveal any specific dates, Kailyn vented on Coffee Convos, “I literally am mindf*cked with the timeline because I know what the timeline is and the sh*t’s a little messy.”
Given the gossip surrounding Javi’s recent relationships with Briana and Kailyn, this baby mama drama is no surprise. Now that Lauren is pregnant with Javi’s child, fans have started to pay even more attention to her, including carefully monitoring her social media accounts.
Their careful sleuthing appeared to uncover the couple’s huge secret in a post on Instagram.
“Welp…” Lauren wrote on a shot of her TV stand. “The TVs are gone on day 1 of selling furniture. No more excuses for not being productive I guess..”
It wasn’t Lauren’s words that caught fans’ eyes. Many noticed that among her pictures and mementos, Lauren has two letters displayed on the shelf: L and M.
Could it possibly stand for Lauren Marroquin? Many people theorized that the couple had secretly married, but no wedding has been publicly confirmed by Javi and Lauren.
Now that Lauren will soon be a fellow mama, how does Kailyn feel about Javi’s current boo? Kailyn dished about the surprise announcement on her podcast.
She addressed the topic quickly, venting that she is tired of being asked about Javi and his new baby. According to Kailyn, Javi asked for the weekend with Lincoln so that he could spend time with visiting cousins. When she confronted him about the pregnancy before it was publicly known, Kailyn alleges that Javi responded, “Lincoln saw a picture of the ultrasound and I told him that Lauren has a baby in her belly.”
After the photo shoot was publicized, Kailyn felt like “Javi used Lincoln and the cousins as a way to get Lincoln there to do the pregnancy photos instead of just being honest with me about it.” She further explained, “That whole dishonesty thing, that’s what bothers me.”
Javi’s lies have been a recurring issue throughout their relationship. If Javi cannot be honest with Kailyn about his personal life, how can she trust him to be a dependable and reliable co-parent?
Kailyn also shared a policy that she has set with her ex-husband: “We have this six month rule where we’re not introducing anyone to our kids for 6 months.” The reality star did not seem thrilled that Javi had broken their agreement so quickly with his new girlfriend, Lauren.
In fact, it allegedly cost Javi a trip to Jamaica. “Kailyn uninvited Javi from her Jamaica trip for Isaac after he took Lincoln to see Lauren,” an insider spilled to Radar Online.
The source explained, “Javi took Lincoln to Kentucky with Lauren. Kail was really mad and yelled at him about it...Kail made it clear to Javi that he was not allowed to come on the upcoming trip to Jamaica. She was really mad at him.”
Despite her anger and frustration over Javi’s behavior, Kailyn is trying to stay positive about the situation. Always putting her children first, Kailyn stated, “I wish them the best. Obviously, Lincoln’s excited.”
Though she was outraged over the lies surrounding the photo shoot, Kailyn conceded, “The pictures were cute, I’ll give them that.” More pictures of the happy family are sure to come: Javi shared that he plans on having a gender reveal for his new baby.
Though she has not announced any new relationships of her own, Kailyn doesn’t seem bothered by her ex-hubby’s new fling. She has been hard at work focusing on her career. Now that she has earned her degree in communications, she is one step closer to her goal of working in television production.
In the meantime, she hosts her podcast with fellow reality star, Lindsey Chrisley. She revealed in one episode that she will soon be appearing on an MTV dating show and we’re anxiously awaiting details. Maybe Kailyn will be the next star with pregnancy news!
While she hasn’t announced any new babies yet, she did share some exciting gossip about her latest project.
In her latest news, she hinted on Twitter at the possibility of a new show with castmate Leah Messer.
“I’ve thinking [Leah Dawn and I] should swap kids for a few days to see what it’s like to be a mom of boys/girls,” Kailyn tweeted, adding, “#teenmom2.” She wrote to MTV and the Teen Mom official Twitter, “Let’s make this happen!”
The two Teen Moms have a lot in common. In addition to going through pregnancies at a young age, they’re both divorcées and they both have three children. There’s just one major difference between them: while Kailyn has three sons, Leah has three daughters!
Even her co-stars thought the spin-off idea had potential. Fellow mom Chelsea Houska responded, “Yeess this would be cute!”
