Teen Mom and Teen Mom 2: The Complete Babies and Children Guide!

June 21, 2020 Emily Trainham 16 and Pregnant

The girls from Teen Mom are good at many things.

They’re good at creating reality show magic, and they’re good at writing memoirs.

Some of them have even tried to start music careers, and while none of those were actually good … well, it was nice that they tried.

But we can probably all agree that the area where the Teen Moms really excel is the baby-making area.

Because they have so. Many. Babies.

1. Sophia (Farrah Abraham and Derek Underwood)

Oh, Soph. Unlike many of her Teen Mom tot counterparts, Sophia lives the life of luxury, thanks to her mother, non-porn star Farrah Abraham. Seriously, the younger Abraham has had her own clothing line, dabbles in child modeling, receives $900 when the tooth fairy pays a visit, and is even beginning her own music career. (Sophia’s father, Derek, died in a car accident while Farrah was still pregnant; Derek’s grave is the site of many memorable TM scenes, which some believe to be shamelessly orchestrated by Farrah). Sophia is going to be a handful when she grows up at this rate … the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree as they say.

2. Leah (Amber Portwood and Gary Shirley)

Amber Portwood shares darling little Leah Shirley with her ex, Gary. Gary has custody, and he’s had it since Amber went to prison a few years back for all that domestic violence and drug stuff. Leah seems like a really smart, sweet girl, which is all thanks to Gary and his wife, Kristina — from what we’ve seen, Amber doesn’t spend a whole lot of time with her.

3. James (Amber Portwood and Andrew Glennon)

Amber welcomed her second child, James, with Andrew Glennon in the spring of 2018. Their relationship survived about a year after that, because as it turned out, Amber still had a violent streak. She was convicted of assaulting Andrew in 2019, and now they share custody of James — and Amber isn’t allowed to show him off on the show.

4. Emilee (Gary and Kristina Shirley)

Gary went on to have one child after leaving his disastrous relationship with Amber — he and his wife, Kristina, have a daughter named Emilee.

5. Carly (Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra)

When step-siblings turned lovers Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra made the decision to give their baby Carly up for adoption, it marked one of the most touching, bittersweet moments in reality TV history. What made it all the more incredible was that they stayed involved in her life – albeit with some bumps in the road – ever since.

6. Nova (Catelynn and Tyler)

Tyler and Catelynn kept and are raising Novalee Reign Baltierra together, not that it’s been easy. Catelynn has struggled greatly with postpartum depression, leading to multiple inpatient stays at a psychiatric facility in Arizona.

Briana DeJesus: I Really Think Kailyn Lowry is Racist!

June 14, 2020June 15, 2020 Emily Trainham Briana DeJesus

People have been talking about racism a lot lately, for obvious reasons.

In the celebrity gossip realm, some of this discussion has involved bringing up old incidences of racism from famous people.

And because of that, some of those famous people have been seeing some consequences for their words and actions.

Everybody saw the controversy with Bravo’s Vanderpump Rules, which saw four cast members fired just this month.

MTV, a network never known for being too selective as far as who it casts on reality shows, has had a rough few weeks too.

Dee Nguyen was fired from The Challenge and Taylor Selfridge, of The Challenge as well as Teen Mom, also got the chop.

Where will it stop? Has the carnage just begun at these networks?

Some people think MTV should get rid of some other Teen Mom stars as well, and Kailyn Lowry is high on that list.

Kailyn’s history of racism or at least racially insensitive comments has become a hot topic on the Internet these days.

And it looks like one of her co-stars and rivals, Briana DeJesus, has a thing or two to say about Lowry and her fate.

Let’s get into it, shall we?

1. Mortal Enemies

As Teen Mom 2 fans are keenly aware, Briana DeJesus and Kailyn Lowry have never gotten along, and there are a lot of reasons for that. But one of them in particular stands out.

2. This Guy

This friggin’ guy. Javi Marroquin dated Briana after he and Kailyn got divorced, and while Javi Marroquin dates a lot of people and/or cheats on them with randoms in his bathroom or Crossfit gym, Kailyn was especially upset about this one. Lowry thought both Marroquin and DeJesus were very disrespectful to her during all of this.

3. Ugh

It didn’t help that at one point, he was hooking up with both of them either at the same time or in a period of time so close together that if there wasn’t overlap technically, there certainly was emotionally.

4. Throwing Down

Kailyn and Briana nearly got into physical fights more than once, and they’ve exchanged plenty of insults through the years. These are not women who like to mince words, or pull punches … sometimes literally.

5. Hold Up Though

More on that in a bit. Right now, let’s switch gears real fast and talk about why people think Kailyn Lowry is racist and how that’s become a hot topic in June 2020.

6. Yikes

One big thing is a resurfaced clip from an old episode of Teen Mom 2 in which Kailyn complained about how Jo Rivera, the father of her first son Isaac, had their son’s hair cut.

Teen Mom: The Definitive, Tragically Trashy Tattoo Guide, Back and Trashier Than Ever!

June 3, 2020June 3, 2020 Emily Trainham Amber Portwood

If you’re a fan of Teen Mom and Teen Mom 2, then you know that many of the people on the MTV reality shows have tattoos.

You also know that a lot of the tattoos …

… well, they aren’t that great.

Some are poorly done, some are kind of strange, and some are nightmarish and horrifying and just so completely, unbelievably bad.

So steady yourself, perhaps grab some smelling salts and some pearls to clutch, and let’s rank all the Teen Mom ink we can get our eyes on!

1. Amber’s Tattoo of Leah

Here, let’s just start with the worst of the worst, all right? This is Amber Portwood’s portrait of her daughter, Leah. It’s right on her stomach, it also features a gigantic rose, and it’s not finished. Will she ever get it finished? It’s hard to say. We will ever be able to get this haunting image out of our heads? Unlikely.

2. Choices

Since we’re already talking about Amber’s tattoos, she also got this matching tattoo with Matt Baier, back when they first started dating. It reads “vero amore,” which is supposed to be Italian for “true love.” So that’s embarrassing.

3. Speaking of Embarrassing …

Matt also has this huge tattoo of Amber’s name right on his forearm. Just right there on his arm where he has to look at it all day, every day.

4. Ugh

Matt actually has several tattoos, many of which you can see on his nude book cover. We won’t waste more time on him here, so if you feel the need to look more closely at his naked greasy bod here, then you have our blessing. However, we will say that on his other arm, he has a couple of Chinese characters that he says mean “clean and sober,” but that Teen Mom detectives have actually determined mean “Lisa.”

5. Why Though?

As hard as it may be to believe, Matt isn’t the only guy to get Amber Portwood’s name tattooed on his body — Gary Shirley made the exact same mistake. Thankfully he was smart enough (???) to get the tattoo on his shoulder instead of on his forearm though, and he’s since covered up.

6. It’s Gary Time

Gary also has a … what is that, a sun? A blob with tentacles? Whatever it is, he’s also got some tattoo right in the middle of his chest, peeking out through all his body hair.

Briana DeJesus Quits Social Media After Baby Daddy Brandishes Gun, Drugs

June 3, 2020June 3, 2020 Hilton Hater Briana DeJesus

Briana DeJesus is outta here, folks.

Late last week, the Teen Mom OG star announced she was taking a “personal break” from Instagram, prior to posting a mysterious quote about “leaving” people.

It’s pretty clear to whom and what DeJesus was refer…

Briana DeJesus: I Hope MTV Doesn’t Show Me Getting an STD from My Deadbeat Baby Daddy!

May 30, 2020May 30, 2020 Emily Trainham Briana DeJesus

Briana DeJesus has made some poor choices in her life.

And that’s OK — everyone has.

But the unfortunate thing about Briana’s poor choices is that she seems to make the same poor choice, over and over.

Girl just does not seem to care about condoms.

We’ve seen her deal with two unexpected pregnancies thanks to this weird condom policy, and it looks like we’re going to see her deal with another consequence of this on the upcoming season of Teen Mom 2.

And thanks to a new report from The Ashley’s Reality Roundup, we have all the bizarre details …

1. Oh Girl

Briana has a lot of good qualities, she really does, but the girl just doesn’t seem to have the best taste in men.

2. Oh Hey, Devoin

There was Devoin, who got super drunk at a pool last year when he was supposed to be watching their daughter, Nova, who wasn’t a great swimmer.

3. There’s Luis

There was Luis — she got pregnant with Stella after they had a one night stand, and when she started considering abortion or adoption, he talked her into keeping the baby, then promptly split.

4. Oh No

She dated this one guy several years back who thought it would be cool to post very intimate photos and videos of her all over social media.

5. Classic Javi

Who could forget Javi?! He and Briana dated for a few months, but that ended because she wouldn’t move her entire family to Delaware and marry him and have his children after those few months of dating. It didn’t help that towards the end of their relationship, he was also seeing Kailyn Lowry and Lauren Comeau.

6. Not Johnny

Then there was John, who may or may not have cheated on her, we never really figured that out.

Briana DeJesus: I Want to Start Posting My Nudes on OnlyFans!

May 22, 2020May 22, 2020 Tyler Johnson Briana DeJesus

Like most of the stars in the Teen Mom galaxy, Briana DeJesus supplements her MTV income with a number of business ventures.

Now, it looks as though the mother of two might be planning to add one more side-hustle to the mix.

And if we know anything about the internet in 2020, it could wind up being her most lucrative project to date!

Yes, Briana is considering entering the world of OnlyFans and posting nudes for cash.

And why not, we say!

She’ll probably still feel less exposed than she does on Teen Mom 2!

Take a look at what Bri had to say on the matter this week:

1. A New Career?

Will Briana DeJesus become the latest reality star to launch an OnlyFans account?

2. Opening Up

The Teen Mom star addressed the topic on Twitter this week, and fans were surprised by what she had to say.

3. Giving It Some Thought

Bri expressed her thoughts on selling nudes for cash in the wee hours of Thursday morning.

4. Hard On Herself

“If I had real balls I would’ve made one already… I hate myself,” DeJesus tweeted.

5. Sounds Innocent Enough …

In case you’re unfamiliar, OnlyFans is a subscription-based site that allows public figures to charge fans a fee in exchange for exclusive content.

6. The Naked Truth

The main way that it differs from other sites of that nature, is that the public figures are usually sex workers, and the exclusive content usually involves nudity,

Briana DeJesus Gets SLAMMED For Ignoring Coronavirus Warnings: Did She Fail to Protect Her Daughters?

April 30, 2020April 30, 2020 Tyler Johnson Briana DeJesus

At this point in the pandemic, you probably know the coronavirus rules in your part of the country by heart.

Of course, you probably also know some folks who refuse to follow those rules no matter how many stern warnings they receive from the medic…

Briana DeJesus: My Family is STRUGGLING Right Now!

March 23, 2020March 23, 2020 Emily Trainham Briana DeJesus

Briana DeJesus, like most of the citizens of Earth, is not having a very good time right now.

Yep, settle in, friends, because this is another story about the coronavirus.

This time around, we’re going to be talking about how Briana and her family are handing things.

She gave us an exclusive statement, and it sounds like things aren’t exactly going well for the DeJesus clan …

1. Relatable

So yeah … rough times in the world these days, huh?

2. Facts

Of course, some people have it way, way worse than others in the midst of this pandemic, but regardless, pretty much everyone is struggling with anxiety on several different levels right now.

3. Horrifying

And, as it turns out, the Teen Mom 2 star has more than a few reasons to be feeling anxious about everything that’s been happening around the state of Florida, the United States and the world.

4. Looking Back

We trust that we don’t need to recap what’s been going with the coronavirus, how it’s affecting people all around the globe and bringing life for millions upon millions of people to a screeching halt, so instead, let’s just focus on Briana, OK?

5. Oof

For a little bit there, it didn’t seem like she was taking all of this too seriously – she made a few jokes about the situation on Twitter, even tweeting last week that she and her kids were going to “practice social distancing” at the beach. In her defense, things escalated fast with this virus and public opinion shifted even more quickly.

6. Why Though

Reminder: Briana and her family live in Florida, where hundreds of people actually have been going to the beach, perhaps thinking that it constitutes social distancing, despite the fact that huge groups doing the exact same thing in the same place defeats the point. Alas …

Teen Mom: How the Cast Members Make SO MUCH MONEY … and Who’s the Richest [UPDATED]

March 19, 2020 Tyler Johnson Amber Portwood

One of the cool things about being on Teen Mom is that you make a lot of money.

Like, a lot.

The moms and the original dads make hundreds of thousands of dollars per season, if you can even believe it, and they also get to travel for free if MTV is filming, which is pretty neat since we’ve been seeing a lot more vacations on the show recently.

But besides the show itself, cast members are pulling in crazy amounts of cash from all kinds of wild and crazy places.

“Like where?” you may be wondering.

Well, wonder no further …

[We’ve updated the list for 2020 so that you can enjoy the slow financial declines of Jenelle Evans and Farrah Abraham. You know you’ve been waiting for this!]

1. Dang

As we’ve said, the original cast members — the moms and the dads of their first children — all make the same amount, which is somewhere in the neighborhood of $350,000 to $400,000 a season. But what else does everyone do?

2. Amber Portwood

Let’s start with reviewing Amber’s side hustles — this will be the easiest to do, because she really doesn’t have any.

3. Not Much

She shares articles on her Instagram page, which brings in some money, and she did appear on that one season of Marriage Boot Camp a couple of years ago, so that’s something.

4. A Quick Hobby

For a little while there, she got into flipping houses with Matt Baier, but she hasn’t done that since he’s been gone.

5. Forever Haute

She did have that sketchy clothing company for a little while, Forever Haute, but she hasn’t talked about it in a very long time, and the brand’s Facebook page hasn’t been updated for a year and a half, so it’s probably safe to say that that’s done.

6. Well …

Right now, she’s facing years in prison after assaulting Andrew Glennon, so she’s probably not thinking so much about her next business venture, you know?

Briana DeJesus: Time For My Deadbeat Baby Daddies to Do Some Coronavirus Babysitting!

March 17, 2020March 17, 2020 Tyler Johnson Briana DeJesus

When a father takes care of his child, it shouldn’t be called babysitting.

But when a mother has her kids 24/7 — as her two deadbeat baby daddies dodge all parental responsibilities — dropping the kids off with their fathers can be as nerve-racking as leaving them with an inexperienced teen who reeks of a mango Juul pod.

So it makes sense that Briana DeJesus would be a little wary about the prospect of her trusting her sperm donors to look after their offspring for a few days.

This week, DeJesus asked her followers if she should feel safe in leaving her kids with their dads for a while.

And the responses ranged from hilariously relatable to shockingly random.

Take a look:

1. Maternal Guilt Syndrome

Briana DeJesus is in need of some “me” time. Unfortunately, she’s burdened with two deadbeat dads who have to be forced into spending time with their children.

2. The DeJesus Daughters

Briana has two little girls — Nova, 8 and Stella, 2 — by two different men, and it seems neither of the baby daddies is stepping up these days.

3. Brittany to the Rescue

Briana gets some help from her mom and sister, both of whom live with her, but she’s still stressed to the breaking point.

4. Mommy Vacay

In need of relief, Briana asked her followers this week if they felt that it would be okay for her to drop her kids off with their dads for a while.

5. A Desperate Plea

“Would y’all judge me just as bad as I’d judge myself if i just took my kids and dropped them off at their dads for the rest of spring break??????? Lol,” Bri tweeted.

6. Changing Times

It’s worth noting that that message was sent a few days ago, and the situation regarding American schools has changed considerably in that time.

Briana DeJesus Responds to Chris Lopez Dating Rumors: I Don’t Want Kailyn Lowry’s Sloppy Seconds! [EXCLUSIVE]

March 11, 2020March 11, 2020 Tyler Johnson Briana DeJesus

Earlier this week, an unexpected Twitter interaction created a link between two Teen Mom 2 stars who previously had nothing to do with each other.

As the result of an innocent joke, a rumor that Briana DeJesus planned to hook up with Chris Lopez made its way across the social media landscape.

Chris, of course, is Kailyn Lowry’s most recent baby daddy, and there’s no reason to believe that Briana has any romantic interest in him.

In fact, she’s specifically stated that she doesn’t feel any attraction to the guy.

Despite that fact, this one little joke was quickly blown WAY out of proportion.

In an exclusive interview with The Hollywood Gossip, Briana cleared up some scandalous rumors and shared an update on her longstanding feud with Lowry.

Take a look:

1. Dueling Moms

Briana DeJesus and Kailyn Lowry have been feuding for years. Some say it all started when Bri was cast on Teen Mom 2, a move that seemed to incite jealousy and animosity among her new co-stars.

2. A Scandalous Romance

Others say Kail only got upset when Bri started dating her ex-husband, Javi Marroquin.

3. Bad Blood Forever

Whatever the case, these two have never gotten along, and their feud flared up in a big way on Twitter this week.

4. Just a Joke

The situation started innocently enough when Bri tweeted, “Have you c–ming all summer like a season pass.”

5. The Spark That Set Off an Explosion

Now, if that sort of thing that offends you, you probably don’t spend much time on Twitter. But believe it or not, the tweet indirectly led to a major war of words.

6. She’s Got a Point

“You know what would make for good television? If you went after Chris,” one fan wrote in response to Briana’s tweet. “Imagine all the drama! This season would be lit. Secure the bag girl. Get those ratings up!”

Kailyn Lowry-Briana DeJesus Feud EXPLODES: Remember Your Sex Tape? Go Get Beat Up By Chris!

March 3, 2020March 3, 2020 Free Britney Briana DeJesus

Kailyn Lowry and Briana DeJesus are not friends.

In fact, they are the opposite of friends.

But after the great Javi Marroquin drama from a couple of years ago, the co-stars pretty much just ignored each other.

Until now, that is! Until now.

Something happened between these two ladies, and now it looks like a major beef is about to boil over at the reunion.

So what’s going on?! What has brought these warring Teen Mom 2 cast members to the brink of aggression again?

Let’s break it down!

1. Ah, Memories

16 & Pregnant veterans and current Teen Mom 2 co-stars Kailyn and Briana never really had a friendship. But as we all remember, they became mortal enemies in 2017 when Briana started dating Kailyn’s ex-husband, Javi Marroquin.

2. The Reason?

Kailyn insisted she wasn’t jealous of their relationship, she just had a problem with the way they went about it – being shady AF basically. They did try to hide the romance a bit at the beginning, and Kailyn didn’t appreciate it.

3. Not Having It

All of this happened right around the time of the taping of that season’s Teen Mom 2 reunion for MTV, and the ladies had a bit of an argument. Nothing physical – just words (that time).

4. Getting Worse

Over the next few months, they started disliking each other more and more, so much that even when Javi and Briana broke up, rather than letting bygones be bygones, they actually kept things going.

5. Javi, Javi, Javi …

It didn’t help that there was a short period of time when Javi was hooking up with both of them, plus his current girlfriend, Lauren Comeau. It’s not clear how much overlap there was, but it was certainly suspicious – more than close enough to get a lot of girls angry at him and one another.

6. So Many Feelings

Things were so tense that at the next reunion, filmed in May of 2018, things DID get physical.

Briana DeJesus Flaunts Plastic Surgery Results, Lives Her Best Life

February 21, 2020February 21, 2020 Tyler Johnson Briana DeJesus

Teen Mom 2 star Briana DeJesus has never been apprehensive when it comes to going under the knife. Or shy about sharing with fans.

Like so many reality TV personalities, when she came into unexpected wealth and fame, Briana decided to fine-tune some things.

It’s an understandable reaction to being thrust into the spotlight.

People are gonna be looking at you like ever before, and you suddenly have the money for surgical touch-ups, so why the hell not?

Taking pride in cosmetic procedures can be seen as a form of body positivity, and Briana is leading the way in that regard.

With her latest round of fierce before-and-after pics, he proves she was serious about what she was talking about having done.

Let’s just say less is more. Take a look at the eye-popping results:

1. Better Than Ever?

Briana DeJesus promised she was about to undergo surgery on her breasts, and she delivered. She shared some jaw-dropping before-and-after pics on Instagram this week. And fans are loving what the Teen Mom 2 star has to offer.

2. Living the Life

As we said earlier, Briana can certainly afford whatever kind of cosmetic procedure she wants … because quite frankly, she’s worked for it.

3. Queen of the Hustle

Yes, that MTV money is pretty sweet. And yes, several of the Teen Mom cast members have side projects to bring in extra income, but it’s possible that none of them works as hard as DeJesus.

4. The 9 to 5 Life

We’re not sure of the specifics, as DeJesus prefers to keep that part of her life off camera (a novel concept) but she has revealed that she works in “corporate America.”

5. On Her Grind

In fact, throughout much of her time in the spotlight, Bri has worked a full-time 9-5 job – keeping that part of her life private, no less!

6. Stacking Funds

It’s paying off. Literally. Her current financial situation is comfortable enough that she was able to build a house near her native Orlando.
