As the Teen Mom cast members grow and mature, their relationship with their baby daddies do, too. Even though many of their relationships ended in screaming matches and blowouts, as they’ve gotten older, their co-parenting styles have grown as well.
As for Kailyn Lowry, her co-parenting has been hit or miss when it comes to her baby daddies. She’ll be on good terms with her baby daddies in one episode, and the next episode they’ll be at one another’s throats.
Now, Kailyn is looking down memory lane and revealing what really happened between her and her co-parents.
Even though marriage is between two people, when you get married, you become part of your spouse’s family as well. That’s why in-laws can make such a big difference in a relationship.
For Kailyn Lowry, it turns out that her relationship with her first two baby daddies, Jo Rivera and Javi Marroquin, were influenced a lot by her in-laws at the time. But surprisingly, it turns out that even though her relationship with Javi ended more explosively, her relationship with his family was much stronger than with Jo’s.
Kailyn spills the news in her memoir, Pride Over Pity. She explains that Jo’s family often stepped in to resolve issues between her and Javi.
“We were never able to resolve our problems on our own,” she wrote. “Because we were living under their roof, his parents were involved in every spat. As soon as Jo and I raised our voices, [Jo’s parents] Janet and Eddie would be there for better or worse. They would immediately state who was right or wrong in the argument and choose a side.”
Kailyn went on to say, “Janet’s advice began to sound like commands to me on how to handle myself and how I should parent Isaac. The constant interference contributed to our destruction.”
But Kail revealed that she’s glad they were present. She wrote that she’s “eternally grateful for every expense Jo’s parents made for Isaac and me,” even if she feels they were overinvolved.
“The major issue I always had with Jo’s family was the fact that our relationship felt to me like a family project. Our arguments always seemed to be a communal experience,” Kailyn explained. “Sometimes I felt like Jo’s parents acted as barriers and referees to our fights. I know that they were just trying to protect us, but fights are frustrating enough for two people. Throw in a few more and there are just more mouths yelling.”
As for Javi, he was on his own when it came to his fights with Kailyn.
“With Javi’s family it has been the opposite. They stand by us through thick and thin, but they won’t take sides or involve themselves in our fights. They know there are boundaries and they try to give us a healthy space to work out our issues on our own. They don’t try to push their values and feelings onto the situation, whatever it may be,” Kailyn wrote.
And as it turns out, she went on to have a healthy relationship with Javi’s family even after their split.
“Unseen on television, Javi’s family have been my rock. They have been so supportive. They warmly welcomed Isaac and me into their fold and treat us like their own. It’s nice to have people to rely on if need be. I felt myself opening up and really trusting them, unlike the relationship I had with Jo’s family,” she explained.
Kailyn wrote Pride Over Pity back in 2014, so it’s possible things have changed since then… hopefully for the better.
As for her relationship with Chris’s family, it remains unclear - but given that they were the ones who revealed Kailyn’s pregnancy early, she’s probably not loving them too much right now!
Kailyn Lowry Officially Confirms Her Pregnancy!
The news is official: Kailyn Lowry just confirmed her pregnancy!
This comes after weeks of rumors and speculation after Chris Lopez’s aunt shared the news across social media. It seems that Kailyn wanted to wait and confirm the news on her own time, and now after weeks of wondering whether the rumors were true, fans finally have their answer!
Keep reading for the full story and to read exactly how Kailyn broke the news.
When Kailyn Lowry was pregnant with her third child, she did everything in her power to keep the news a secret. She denied the pregnancy for weeks after news broke, and even after it became obvious she was pregnant, she refused to tell fans who the baby daddy was.
This time around, she's admitting to it!
It’s true that the Teen Mom world is notorious for spreading fake pregnancy rumors. From girls wearing baggy clothing that may resemble a baby bump to complaining about nausea that could be morning sickness, it doesn’t take much. But this time, Kailyn herself is confirming her pregnancy!
Fans weren't sure whether Kailyn Lowry would end up having a fourth child, even though she's revealed in the past that she's open to the idea. After all, her relationship with her first three baby daddies did not pan out very well after she had children with them.
Her relationship with Jo Rivera fizzled out before their child Isaac was even out of diapers, and the same pattern happened with Javi Marroquin.
As for her third baby daddy, Chris Lopez, he and Kailyn were never really in an official relationship when she got pregnant! That's probably why Kail went to such lengths to keep secret who she was having a child with, even though that didn't work out for either of them in the long run.
Considering her history of baby daddies, it's no wonder that fans are so shocked who she's having her fourth child with!
It’s no secret that Kailyn has been open to having another child. She’s shared numerous times that she wants to have a big family, and that she would love to have her first daughter.
Luckily, unlike her situation when she was 16 and pregnant, Kailyn can afford to raise another child. It might not be considered the best idea by many fans, especially since those MTV paychecks will inevitably stop coming at one point or another. But with her recent haircare line Pothead launched, Kailyn should have enough money to take care of herself and her big family when her fame ends.
And now, it looks like that will be a family of five.
At first, Kailyn herself wasn't sharing the news. But someone close to her leaked the story: the family of the man who got her pregnant.
And how do we know this family, you ask? Well… It appears that the baby daddy is none other than Chris Lopez himself!
Kailyn and Chris’s relationship hasn’t exactly been a romantic love story before or after Kailyn gave birth to their child, Lux. Do you think it will change since they are apparently having another child together?!
“Wanna give a big congratulations to @kailynsfamily on the new addition [due] july 25.. Cant wait to meet baby number 2 for us- 4 for her,” wrote Instagram account @hhlg1975 today along with shots of an ultrasound. The account belongs to none other than Chris’s aunt!
As if this wasn’t enough, the nails in the photo clearly matched up to Kailyn’s nails on her Instagram back in December.
Now, we have Kailyn confirming all of this is true!
But even though this news was leaked weeks ago, Kailyn remained silent on the topic. Even though she skirted around the news, she did indirectly acknowledge all the rumors, implying that people didn't know the full story.
Her reluctance to confirm the news had fans wondering if Chris's Aunt made all of this up for attention. But now, there's no question in anyone's mind.
Kailyn is officially finally confirming the pregnancy firsthand. Click next to check out her adorable announcement!
Kailyn spilled the news in a partnership with a company called Peanut.
"We’re confirming the news, baby #4 is coming soon! 🎉" she shared.
She went on:
"I’m almost 16 weeks pregnant & it’s been a rough few months this time around. I've had nausea, morning sickness, and absolutely no energy. 😭 This week I’m starting to feel a bit better and I'm really hoping it stays this way!🤰🏻@Peanut has been an amazing support for me since I found out I was pregnant again. Going through nausea and morning sickness while trying to keep the news a secret can be quite isolating. There are so many helpful threads on the app from other women who have been through it too. It's always reassuring to know you're not alone. Whether you're already a mom, pregnant, or trying to conceive, I really recommend you join the @peanut community. It's an amazing space to build friendships, find support and learn from other women at a similar stage in life. There's nothing like support from other women to get you through. ❤ #Peanutapp."
Needless to say, fans have mixed feelings about this news... especially considering that Kailyn revealed it via an advertisement!
"This is the strangest thing I have ever seen," wrote reddit user jackiehennedy. "Buy this app oh btw i’m pregnant."
But user littlered7709 wrote, "I agree it's very tacky. But she gets paid for it. And not only does she get paid for it, she knows more people will view that post vs a normal ad post so she may be making more for it than normal. Tacky, but profitable. And isn't that the motto of MTV? Lol."
Others are excited for the news.
"I'm happy for her. Being a downer about a pregnancy isn't going to make it go away, and it won't help the mother. I hope she has an uneventful pregnancy, a healthy baby, and can enjoy it every step of the way," wrote Motherof2cubs.
User kingjoffreysmum wrote, "I hope she gets what she needs from this 4th pregnancy and that the baby is healthy and safe. I don’t see the point in tearing her down; she’s made her choice and that’s that. I’m disappointed in where she is 10 years down the line though, I can’t lie. I wanted so much better for her; but she’s failed herself with her choices time and again."
Meanwhile, this pregnancy might not be as easy as the last. After all, Kailyn's feud with her baby daddy Chris has gotten intense... and even violent. Read on for the full story.
