Followers of MTV's Teen Mom 2 will certainly recognize Kailyn lowry, a mother to five with a set of twins expected in 2024. Kailyn's intricate relationship with her parents unfolds on the show, with particular focus on her mother in 16 & Pregnant and hints of her connection with her father. In 2024, Kailyn unveiled that she had sent her father a paternity test.

Star of Teen Mom 2, Kailyn Lowry, has parental uncertainties. During January 2024, she shared a video on her Instagram Stories, revealing she had dispatched a DNA testing kit to her father, Raymond Lowry, to verify their biological connection.

“I just sent my father DNA kits, and I’ll keep you posted,” Kailyn told her followers on Instagram, according to a clip posted to Reddit. “I messaged him, and I was like, ‘Hey, I sent you DNA kits.’ So, keep in mind, I only met him one time, so we’re gonna see how this goes.”

Kailyn didn’t maintain a relationship with her father after meeting him in the past. She visited him in Texas in 2009 when she was pregnant with her son, Isaac. Unfortunately, the meeting didn’t go well. Raymond criticized Kailyn for getting pregnant and asked to borrow money from her. He later criticized how MTV portrayed him.

“I was on the show too, and they made me look bad,” he wrote on Facebook, according to The Sun. “I know what you mean about shouldn’t have to defend yourself.”

He added that he doesn’t think 16 & Pregnant or Teen Mom should exist. “I personally don’t think that show is good for young girls to watch,” Raymond wrote. “I think it gives them the wrong idea about being a parent so young among other things. … It’s just a bad show I think.”

Kailyn called her father a “f***ing joke” in response. “No, that’s a f***ing joke,” she wrote. “Don’t even start this s***. You haven’t been around or tried with either of us nor paid child support, so get the f*** outta here.”

Kailyn Lowry, star of Teen Mom 2, recounted a deep sense of disappointment upon meeting her father, Raymond Lowry, for the first time. She opened up about this experience in her memoir, Pride Over Pity, revealing that Raymond was physically different from how she had pictured, sporting a mullet, missing teeth and shorter stature than she expected. She also discovered his dishonesty about his residence - a small hut instead of the cozy two-bedroom house he claimed.

A breaking point for Kailyn was when Raymond asked her for money to purchase a Dunkin' Donuts meal, while she was a pregnant teenager - she described this as the final straw.

In her book, Kailyn also delved into her early years, revealing that she was a sickly infant, suffering from pneumonia. Instead of seeking medical attention as promised, her father took her from Pennsylvania to Texas allegedly to raise her by himself. However, her mother aggressively pursued Raymond, employing detectives and legal professionals, and managed to reclaim her.

The stars of the Teen Mom franchise have been making waves this week, with a particular focus on growing families and maintaining a balance between personal life and television fame. Here's a catch up on the biggest updates from the Teen Mom OG and Teen Mom 2 news.

The most noteworthy revelation comes from Kail, former 'Teen Mom 2' star, who has declared that her days of giving birth to her own children have come to an end. Following the birth of her seven children over the last 15 years, Kail has stated she is no longer planning on expanding her family biologically. However, she is open to bringing new members into her family through fostering or adoption.

In a recent episode of her 'Barely Famous' podcast, Kail spoke candidly about her future family plans, stating that she has closed the chapter on pregnancies. She acknowledges that her partner, Elijah Scott, may still wish to have more biological children, but Kail believes that their family has room to grow through adopting or fostering children in need.

She stated, “The journey of pregnancy is over for me, and I am secure in that decision. It's been a 15-year journey now. I've loved it, and I appreciate the opportunity, but it's time to move on.”

Kail also opened up about the possibility of fostering children, highlighting that the experience would provide a different type of fulfilment for her family.

Moreover, Kail has no intention of using IVF to have another child, citing the physical and emotional toll it takes as her main reason. She expressed a stronger interest in exploring alternatives such as adoption, fostering, or surrogacy.

Kail has already started discussing the concept of adopting a child with her existing children. She recalled a recent conversation with them about potentially adopting a toddler, expressing that there is a particular need for homes for children beyond infancy since most people prefer to adopt babies.

Kail isn't the only 'Teen Mom' star with adoption on her mind. Maci Bookout has expressed similar desires and, while she and her husband Taylor McKinney are not currently in a position to move forward with plans to foster or adopt, they remain open to the idea in the future.

The Teen Mom sensation Chelsea Houska exhibited her vulnerability in a recent Instagram Story, almost succumbing to tears as she divulged distressing family news to her followers. Known for her candidness about her personal experiences, Houska used the social media platform to recount a traumatic experience on their farm, involving the tragic loss of a newborn goat.

Houska's spouse, Cole DeBoer, detailed the sad occurrence, informing their followers that their pregnant goat had gone into labor suddenly. Despite the best efforts of the mother goat throughout the birthing process, the newborn displayed no immediate signs of life. In a desperate bid to keep the young goat alive, DeBoer spent 20 minutes trying to resuscitate it, but to no avail. "Guess that’s life,” he said despondently, underlining the harsh realities associated with farming.

Houska, who appeared visibly upset and on the verge of tears, agreed, pointing out that while such incidents are rare, they are an inevitable aspect of life on a farm.

According to The Sun, this heartfelt disclosure came as Houska and DeBoer have been giving the public a peek into their lives, from the joyful family times to the more challenging farm duties. However, not all of their posts are as sobering. In a previous Instagram Story, Houska humorously chided her husband for neglecting to take a photo of two Basset Hounds wearing jackets at a supermarket. The recent family tragedy, however, strikes a more somber note, highlighting the unpredictable and emotionally charged aspects of owning farm animals.

Her unabashed depiction of challenging situations adds a layer of authenticity that resonates with her followers. Apart from the farm incident, Houska has also been at the center of dialogues surrounding her changing appearance on social media. Her evolving looks have sparked debate about societal expectations and personal choices.

Despite the occasional mix of heartbreaking news and appearance-related feedback, Houska continues to engage her followers by sharing the ups and downs of her life candidly. Whether it's dealing with the intricacies of farm life or maintaining family relationships, her openness allows her followers to form a deeper connection, fostering a sense of understanding and empathy.

Dad on duty! Tyler Baltierra from Teen Mom OG, hit back at social media bullies who posted impertinent comments about his one-month-old daughter, Vaeda, whom he co-parents with his wife, Catelynn Lowell.

The Instagram account of the Tierra Reign founder was filled with negative comments following a post of a cute picture of Vaeda in a onesie. One commenter wrote, “This isn’t his baby, this baby is clearly another race.” Another suggested Baltierra should “get a DNA test” to prove his paternity.

Lowell, also aged 27, chose to humorously respond to the situation by joking, “Sorry babe I cheated and Vaedas not urs #peoplearecrazy #comeon.” Nevertheless, Baltierra offered his own critique to the cyberbullies.

“I’m truly shocked at the absurd comments about my newborn," the reality TV star responded in the comments section of the post. "We live in a world filled with division, judgment, self-righteousness and unasked opinions … and these comments serve as undeniable proof.” “Mature respectfulness is expressing a strong opinion when necessary. Immature disrespectfulness is expressing a strong opinion when it’s unnecessary. Your deity knows your thoughts … but evil can only hear your spoken words.”

He concluded: “Live with love, speak with peacefulness, or you won’t find karma on your side, I assure you of that!”

A significant change has been reported in the Teen Mom franchise line-up. Ashley Jones, one of the most compelling cast members, is said to be not coming back, according to a fan page on Instagram. This unexpected development has left fans unhappy, as they express their displeasure about the departure of their favorite, while others who have been controversial remain.

One of the users suggested that Jones' exit was unfair, especially when some of her co-stars who have been involved in contentious situations continue on the show. Others expressed their sadness at not being able to follow Ashley's narrative any longer, labelling her 'truly interesting to watch.'

The U.S. Sun reveals that former MTV star Mackenzie McKee, a divorced mother of three, is stepping in to fill Jones' spot. The details of Jones' replacement were reportedly not communicated to her prior to the announcement, leaving her and her ex-husband, Bar Smith, surprised.

Ashley Jones commenced her journey in the franchise with Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant and moved on to various other spin-offs. Much of the viewers' interest in her story stemmed from her tumultuous relationship with Smith. They had a secret wedding in 2022, but due to family disagreements, suspicions of infidelity, and Smith's life choices, the relationship saw an alleged final separation. Jones, in a social media post, indicated that cheating was a contributing factor to their separation. The couple shares a daughter named Holly.

Mackenzie McKee surprised us all when she revealed her newly engaged status to Khesanio Hall on Wednesday, just under two years after her divorce from former husband, Josh McKee. The popular star of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter opened up to PopCulture.com about exploring love again, ahead of Thursday's Season 2 debut of the MTV series.

In her own words, "Post-divorce, the idea of falling in love again seemed unthinkable". Mackenzie shared Instagram photos of Hall's romantic beach proposal, marking the start of her journey into love as an adult. Mackenzie, of 16 and Pregnant fame, expressed her challenge and growth into her new lifestyle, having to discover her true self before venturing into dating again.

Mackenzie and Hall's bond strengthened off-camera, while she was not being documented for Teen Mom. However, Hall, a soccer player, made his debut on the latest season of Teen Mom: Family Reunion. She expressed her anticipation for fans of The Next Chapter to witness her life beyond her initial matrimony. She asserted, "I am more than just a cowgirl wife. That first marriage overshadowed my individuality. Now that I am free, whoever I choose to be with must embrace my authenticity."

She compared her relationships with Josh and Hall, terming them as "totally different individuals". She had met Josh at a youthful age of 15 and the duo tried making their relationship work post conceiving. This latest engagement comes as a breath of fresh air for Mackenzie.

As she plans her future with Hall, viewers of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter can expect to see Mackenzie considering adding a new member to their family. Mackenzie and Josh have three kids together, Gannon, Jaxie, and Broncs, born in 2011, 2014, and 2016 respectively. However, as she looks forward to her wedding with Khesanio, the thought of having a baby with her fiancé doesn't seem too farfetched.

Reality TV personality, Sean Garinger, recognized from his appearances on 16 and Pregnant with his ex-partner Selena Gutierrez, tragically lost his life in an ATV incident. Merely aged 20, Garinger was moving an ATV at his Boone, North Carolina residence when the accident occurred on February 28.

The Watauga County Sheriff's Office issued a statement expressing their condolences. Garinger, fondly known as "Squishy," was an adventurous young man with a zeal for life. His obituary outlined his various hobbies, from shark diving, surfing to flying drones.

Amber Portwood, a star on Teen Mom, has stirred up controversy among her fellow cast members following a contentious scene in Teen Mom: The Next Chapter. In the episode, she used an called daughter Leah a “d–k” , causing her to tear up during her birthday celebration.

In the episode that aired on June 6, Amber arrived tardily to Leah's birthday dinner causing a stir. Her ex and Leah's father, Gary Shirley, was among those already at the venue, along with his wife, Kristina, and their daughter, Emilee. After belatedly joining them, Amber informed Leah that she would be needing her more as she turns 15, a comment Leah chose to disregard.

Trying to introduce Leah to her new boyfriend, also named Gary, Amber faced resistance from her daughter who expressed fear and declined to look at his photograph. Leah's dismissive response to the introduction led to Amber offending her by calling her a derogatory name.

The situation escalated into a dispute with Leah's father, Gary, leading to an upset Leah urging her parents to cease their disagreement. A distraught Leah left the venue in the company of Gary, Kristina, and Emilee, while Amber was left in tears.

Unfortunately, Amber's actions did not sit well with her costar, Briana DeJesus, who expressed her disapproval on Twitter, criticizing Amber for belittling her child. This tweet, however, was later removed.

Briana further echoed the sentiments of fans by sharing several tweets reacting to the occurrence. One stated, “It’s her birthday and she’s crying this is so sad.”

Jenelle Evans, star of Teen Mom 2, also reacted to Briana’s deleted comments, indicating her shock at the episode.

Additionally, Devoin Austin, Briana's ex, shared his thoughts on Instagram in defense of Leah, criticizing the handling of the birthday celebration. Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant star Rachel Beaver added her voice, condemning Amber for her behavior and treatment of Leah, suggesting she wasn't focused on building a relationship with Leah, and rather making it about herself.

Amid the conflagration of criticism, Amber has not provided a public response.

Teen Mom Reunion star, Tyler Baltierra, is addressing the speculations amongst fans regarding his biological daughter, Carly, who was put up for adoption in 2009. In response to a fan's comment, Tyler shared his belief on social media that Carly might choose to forge a closer bond with him and his wife, Catelynn Lowell, when she becomes an adult. Previously, Catelynn expressed her disappointment when Carly's adoptive parents denied them their annual visit. Tyler supported his wife and clarified that it was not Carly's decision to cancel.

Recently, Tyler took a moment to respond to the predictions by some fans that Carly might return to her birth parents once she has legal autonomy. He acknowledged that she may choose to distance herself from him and his family - a decision he respects. In an emotional expression of his love for his daughter, Tyler emphasized that his affection demands no conditions, expectations, or requirements. His love for Carly is biologically biased, enduring and invincible, and he would respect her choices, regardless of their implications for him.

Over the years, Tyler and Catelynn's relationship with Carly's adoptive parents, Brandon and Teresa, has been strained, often due to their public discussion of Carly on social media and on 'Teen Mom.' Carly celebrated her 15th birthday earlier this month, and Catelynn expressed her wish for a better relationship with Carly and her adoptive parents, hoping to celebrate future milestones with her daughter.

Amazingly, the young children of the stars who launched their televised lives on MTV's 16 & Pregnant and Teen Mom are now teenagers themselves. Bentley, the son of Maci Bookout and Ryan Edwards, is already 15 years old. Time truly flies, doesn't it?

Absolutely ! As children enter their teenage years (or even before), parents often engage in crucial conversations with them. Maci is not an exceptions to this. Recently, these reality stars shed light on their approach to discussing sex with their teenage children, being former teenage mothers themselves.

In an exclusive conversation with E! Online, Maci revealed her strategy regarding discussions about sex with Bentley.

She candidly shared with the media platform, "I just lay it out there openly and honestly. I believe the best approach is honesty when it comes to such matters. You want to equip them with enough knowledge to make informed decisions. Moreover, you want them to feel confident in their understanding so they can assert their own interests."

Maci's approach is not unique among her peers. Many of the original cast members have had to find their own ways to navigate these sensitive topics with their own children. Farrah Abraham, Catelynn Lowell, and Amber Portwood each have their methods and philosophies about addressing sexuality and relationships with their kids, shaped by their unique experiences as teenage mothers in the public eye. They underscore the importance of fostering open communication and trust between parents and children—a lesson that transcends their reality TV fame and resonates with any parent navigating the complex landscape of raising teenagers.

Whether by sharing personal stories, setting examples, or providing factual information, these parents aim to break the cycle of misinformation and fear surrounding these topics. Their candidness offers a valuable takeaway: that honest and open dialogue is not just beneficial, but necessary in helping children grow into confident and informed adults.

As we look back on the journeys of these young mothers and their now-teenage children, it is clear that despite the scrutiny and challenges, they have managed to turn their early struggles into teachable moments. Their stories remind us that the conversation about sex and relationships is a continuous process, one that requires patience, understanding, and, above all, honesty.

In the end , the lives of these reality TV stars have evolved significantly since their first appearance on screen, yet their experiences continue to resonate with many. Their ability to maintain open conversations with their children about critical topics like sex is a testament to their growth and resilience. Here's to hoping their honest approach sets a positive example for parents and teenagers everywhere.

Kailyn, a familiar figure to fans of "Teen Mom," has captured attention with her personal life as a mother of seven children from different fathers. With such a bustling household, she balances her parental duties alongside a successful career hosting multiple podcasts.

Kailyn made headlines when she revealed her sixth pregnancy on one of her podcast episodes, sharing the exciting news that she was expecting twins. However, she chose to keep much of her pregnancy private, sparking curiosity and speculation among her fans about whether the twins had already arrived.

The drama intensified when Kailyn announced the name she had chosen for her baby girl, which did not sit well with all her followers. Despite being a seasoned mom, her choice faced significant backlash. Her motherhood journey, which began with her first child, Isaac, during her debut on "Teen Mom," has now brought her to being a proud mother of seven. She shared this milestone on her "Barely Famous" podcast last October.

Rumors about the twins' birth circulated in November, but Kailyn remained silent, further frustrating her fans. Even as she shared pregnancy-related content on social media, some accused her of seeking attention or orchestrating a publicity stunt. The chatter grew louder when she endorsed neonatal vitamins on Instagram, hinting at preparations for the twins' arrival.

The alleged names for the twins, 'Iverson' and 'Valley,' sparked mixed reactions among "Teen Mom" fans. While 'Iverson' received some acceptance, possibly due to associations with NBA star Allen Iverson or the TV character Kendall Roy, 'Valley' was met with significant disapproval. Fans expressed their disappointment online, suggesting that Kailyn could have chosen better names given her experience and the anticipation surrounding her first daughter in over a decade.

Kailyn's motherhood journey continues to be a rollercoaster of emotions and controversies. Whether celebrated or criticized, her decisions always spark conversations and keep her audience engaged. What do you think about Kailyn's choices? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
