Chris Lopez does not have a lot of fans among Teen Mom 2 viewers.
The reasons for this are simple, of course:
Lopez is a deadbeat dad who might also be an abuser, and the news that Kailyn would be having a second child with Chris was greeted with much ambivalence.
At the time that last night's TM2 premiere was filmed, Kail was getting along with two of her three baby daddies, and she hoped to score a hat trick by mending her relationship with Lopez.
But it wasn't meant to be, thanks to one very persistent rumor.
Take a look:
1. A Double Deadbeat?
Did Chris Lopez get another woman pregnant right around the time he knocked up Kailyn Lowry? Sadly, you can't put anything past the man at this point.
2. In Need Of an Intervention
At the time that Tuesday night's Teen Mom 2 premiere was filmed, Kail was not yet pregnant with her second child by Chris -- and she seemed hopeful that the two of them would soon reconcile.
3. Attempted Entrapment
So much time has passed -- and Kail and Chris have experienced so many ups and downs in the months since the episode was filmed -- that some viewers may have been shocked by the revelation that moving closer to Lopez was one of Lowry's motives in buying a new home.
4. The Elusive One
At that point in 2019, it seemed Kail felt that Chris was the missing puzzle piece in her life.
5. No More Baby Daddy Drama?
She was finally getting along with her other baby daddies; her career was firing on all cylinders; she had the massive house in the suburbs ...
6. Stubborn Fella
But that darn Chris just refused to be transformed into the man she wanted him to be.
