Considering how ugly Kailyn Lowry and Chris Lopez's relationship got, it's a wonder they can even co-parent. But now it looks like they've managed to work things out!
If you think that Teen Mom relationships are hard to keep up with, at least you’re not alone. The cast members seem to have a new bae every time you look, and then in the next blink of an eye, they’ve broken up.
And then, of course, there are the on-and-off relationships when cast members just can’t help but go back to an ex. But no one ever expected Kailyn Lowry would find her way back to Chris Lopez!
Kailyn Lowry’s relationship with Chris Lopez has been complicated from the very beginning. After all, when she revealed that she was pregnant, she held off revealing her baby daddy’s identity for as long as possible. Despite her best attempts to keep their relationship under wraps, the truth came out eventually — but that was just the beginning of the drama.
Kailyn never confirmed why she did so much to keep Chris’ identity a secret, but she dropped some major hints. During one episode, she said he wouldn’t appear on camera so that his “other hoes” wouldn’t find out that he was with her. But the water got murkier from there. Although Kailyn went on to reveal that Chris cheated on her throughout her entire pregnancy, many fans believe that Kailyn may have been the “side chick” herself, and that Chris cheated on his girlfriend with her!
Since their split, things didn’t get any better. Chris threatened to not show up for Lux’s birth in the hospital, and when he finally did, he refused to sign paternity papers confirming that he was Lux’s father. And now that Teen Mom is airing what went down between them, we’ve discovered that Chris filed for emergency cusody of Lux soon after his birth!
Needless to say, Kailyn wasn’t happy with his actions. “I haven’t talked to him in two months, and he hasn’t asked to see his son,” Kailyn said on the show. “Chris said him not having contact with the baby is detrimental to the baby and will cause harm by him not knowing his father. Mind you, he didn’t sign the birth certificate, he didn’t want me to file for custody or child support, but then he turned around and filed for custody.”
Kailyn was able to see things from Chris’s point of view, but she was still conflicted about the custody. “Every child needs their father and I don’t have the right to take Chris away from his son,” she confessed. “But at the same time the baby is four months old. Nobody knows what’s best for this baby more than me.”
After attending court, Kailyn revealed the outcome of the battle. Chris was granted supervised visits for the four weeks, at which his aunt had to be present. But she still wasn’t happy with this!
“Why can’t the person who supervises the visits be a neutral party?” she said. “I don’t trust his family to be there. I got what I wanted for Lux, but I’m upset still. There is no winning. Lux still loses because he won’t have both of his parents.”
To say that there’s tension between Kailyn and Chris might be the understatement of the century… but were they able to work past it and figure things out? Kailyn recently dropped a bombshell that seems to hint that she and her baby daddy have worked it out.
“Hiiiiii followers,” she wrote. “So i was going to have a coco theme party for lux but Chris & i decided to change it last minute. I have a ton of fiesta/coco theme birthday stuff unopened & unused. If you could use it tweet me!”
Fans believed that Kailyn could be dropping a major hint that she and Chris are spending time together… and maybe doing a bit of bragging.
“Hiiiiii CHRIS AND I’s followers. So CHRIS AND I were going to have a coco theme party for lux, CHRIS AND I’s son, but CHRIS AND I decided to change it last minute. CHRIS AND I have a ton of fiesta/coco theme birthday stuff unopened & unused by CHRIS AND I. If you could use it instead of CHRIS AND I tweet CHRIS AND I!” joked grindinformyson on reddit. User mollybrooke95 theorized, “I’d bet money she posted this ONLY to mention her & Chris talking & getting along. There’s no way she gives a f*ck about giving away the stuff she doesn’t need.”
“She needs to stop trying to make Chris and her happen. I’m not convinced he’s suddenly in love with her. This smells of a desperate woman,” chimed in slowdancequeen. “Attention seeking at it’s finest,” agreed nextotherone. “Like d*mn girl, just save it til the school year and give it to a parent you know. There’s no reason to put this sh*t on twitter - besides mentioning Chris. Hard eye roll!”
But this isn’t the only reason that fans think she and Chris have worked things out.
Remember Kailyn’s friend Bone? It’s pretty hard to forget her odd name, but she also made quite a splash when she threatened to fight Briana at the Teen Mom 2 reunion. There’s nothing more ride or die than that, right? Well, as it turns out, Bone recently hopped off the Kailyn train, and even unfollowed Kail on Twitter. When fans began to wonder why their relationship went downhill, Bone revealed why — because Kaiyln got back with Chris!
“Maybe [they aren’t friends anymore because Kailyn] and Chris are bumping hideous uglies again, and Bone was the one by her side thru it all. AN honest friend to [Kailyn, and Kailyn] chose that [piece of sh*t] instead of real friendship. Typical Kailyn,” wrote a fan on Twitter. Bone responded confirming all of the accusations, writing, “It’s like you were there.”
Bone later made it even more obvious this was the case. She retweeted a tweet that reads “Ur a fake a** friend if u don’t help ur girls get over a guy, even if it’s for the 32nd time.” Bone added, “Your friend is fake as f*ck if they don’t listen to your advice for the 32nd time.”
Fans were shocked when Bone confirmed the relationship. “Not a Bone fan but how sh*tty of Kail if true. She disposes everyone like trash when shes done using them,” wrote AmbersInfectdPiercng on reddit. “I just can’t get over kails [bullsh*t]. She tells the world how horrible Chris is but still f*cks him. She tells everyone how pathetic Javi is but still f*cks him. She is just messy af,” wrote chrissyp55.
“Jesus. Kail has no concept of how to maintain healthy, kind term relationships, especially friendships,” wrote ReginaldDwight. “She treats people around her like shit and it's going to bite her in the a**. Also, she needs to move on from Chris. He's sh*tty for leading her on but her hyper focus on somehow convincing him to live her isn't going to end well.”
But some came to Kailyn’s defense. “But honestly, I understand why Kail is doing this. I feel like so many of us, including myself, have been in this situation, and I can only imagine having a kid with the guy makes it 10x harder,” wrote TaylorCuris.
But Bone obviously can’t forgive Kailyn right now. She’s recently liked several tweets from fans defending her, making it clear that she hasn’t moved on. “Oh I see, [Bone] was basically a mom to both kail and the kids,” tweeted one fan. “That’s messed up ripping yet another loved one from those kids.” Another wrote, “Being a shoulder, an ear, A friend. Lux 1st Xmas was with Bones fam NOT CHRIS he wanted NOTHING to do with [Kailyn], but he put his hands on her alright. Would you want your friend with a POS like that ? Well kail wants him after all… bye girl bye.”
Although Kailyn hasn’t confirmed that Chris did indeed “put his hands on her,” there are many who believe he was violent with her — including Briana DeJesus.
“Did y’all like #teenmom2 tonight?” Briana wrote on Instagram after this season’s premiere. One fan wrote in, “I wish a b*tch would talk sh*t about me in front of my kids. I would mop the floor with her a** period!” Briana responded by blowing up a dark rumor.
“Too bad she didn’t and would never lol,” Briana wrote. “And I wasn’t talking sh*t and shut the f*ck up cause she gets beat the f*ck up by Chris in front of her kids. Goodbye.”
It didn’t take long before Briana received backlash for her rumor spreading. “There’s no winning with her saying that,” pointed out reddit user MaybeTennessee. “She’s either put Kail’s business out there or she’s making sh*t up. Even if she did hear it from Javi, it’s still not her place, especially when she lasted 2.6 seconds as his girl.” User clevelandcray wrote, “Brianna is unlikable as it is. Does she not realize she's not helping herself by doing sh*t like this? She's so cringeworthy.” User Mrs_stepford wrote, “This is none of Brianna's d*mn business. Kail isnt her boyfriend ex wife anymore. Shut the f*ck up.”
Fans expected Kailyn to be furious about this, but her response was surprisingly small. She simply tweeted, “Some people aren’t even worth the time and energy. I’ve worked too hard on my books & degree to throw it away on someone who runs their mouth for a living.”
Even Chris got in on the discussion, apparently having heard the rumors. He tweeted, “Let’s just keep my name out the teen mom drama ok? Ok,” he wrote. He added, “1 more thing lol I NEVER beat my [baby mama].”
However, it wasn’t long before fans also pointed out that this isn’t the first time rumors of Chris being abusive have come to the surface. In fact, an insider allegedly close to Kailyn was the first to blow up the rumors. They started soon after Lux’s birth when Kailyn was keeping Chris from seeing his son.
“I don’t want to keep Lux from Chris. That’s not the goal,” Kailyn explained to The Ashley’s Reality Roundup. “The goal is to take some time right now to figure out what works for us. I’ve obviously been through this before and I do want Lux to eventually have a relationship with his dad. Right now the circumstances aren’t right for that, though.”
However, The Ashley did some “digging” into the circumstances that Kailyn was referring to, and found someone close to Kailyn who alleged that Chris was violent with her.
“She’s trying her best to keep the real reason off the show,” a “production source” told The Ashley. “So far, the drama with Chris hasn’t really been covered for the show, but that’s only because it is hard to do when Chris won’t sign on to appear or have his name on ‘Teen Mom 2.’” But another source had more to say.
“Chris was violent with Kail multiple times, once while she was holding [Lux],” the source said. The source claimed that Chris “tried to break into Kail’s house at least once to see the baby and left damage on her door frame and window,” The Ashley reports.
The source added that “Some of the film crew noticed a hole was punched in Kail’s garage door, and she confided in someone on the crew that Chris did it. Nothing was filmed about it, though.” They added, “Kail is really trying to keep this off the show because of how bad she got ripped by fans last time when she was dealing with Javi.”
At the time, Javi seemed to be the one Kailyn had in her corner! “Kail and I talk everyday and right now I know she’s safe,” Javi told Radar Online.“I got her back.”
Javi added that Chris’s behavior didn’t come as a surprise to him. “I know how it’s going to play out,” he said. “It goes back to when she wanted me to meet him. He’s not going to do anything for my son. It doesn’t surprise me at all.”
He also claimed that he was making Kailyn and her boys a “priority.”
“Make sure she’s safe, make sure the kids are safe, all three of them,” he said. “Make sure they’re all safe. I do trust Kail in the sense where if they ever are not safe she will come to me and ask for help and get out of that situation. As far as being a mom, she always has those kids first. Her safety is second.” He added, “I hope she can get away from all the negativity and be happy. She deserves it.”
Kailyn herself has never spoken out about any abuse rumors, but she has made it clear that she’s less than impressed with Chris’s presence in her life. After Chris recently confessed his love for her, Kailyn blew it off.
“Did you ever love Kail?” a fan asked Chris on Twitter. “Do you guys have a good co-parenting relationship for Lux? He’s really cute by the way.”
Chris replied, “Yea…” confirming that he did love Kailyn Lowry while they were together. “And we’re co-parenting.”
The fan replied, “Oh wow. That’s great. Some of us were under the impression you had nothing to do with the baby. Do you help financially? Was this something recent or have you been there since day 1?” Chris replied, “I wonder what gave y’all that impression,” with thinking and laughing emojis. He then added, “I watched my son shot out the box lol.”
But Kailyn didn’t buy it. “He didn’t love me, stop making something outta nothing. Goodnight.” But on a recent episode of her podcast Coffee Convos, Kailyn revealed that she had it bad for Chris. In fact, she had it so bad that he basically ruined love for her.
“I don’t believe in true love… since Chris,” she spilled. “I really thought Chris and I were… I would have done anything for him.”
These days, she’s far less head over heels. She recently threw serious shade at Chris for his parenting.
Chris took to Instagram to share some adorable photos of his rapidly growing son, captioning this adorable shot, “Can’t complain.” But apparently, Kailyn found something to complain about.
“Don’t be an Instagram parent,” Kailyn tweeted… all the way from her Hawaiian vacation! Chris fired back, “Buuuut a person who literally made a living off of putting their kids on tv and social media but hey who am I to talk.” He added, “honestly not worth my time lol.” Later, he tweeted, “I might have to violate someone today,” with a laughing emoji.
