Since quitting MTV in 2022, Kail became a successful businesswoman with multiple podcasts, a New York Times best seller and numerous brand partnerships. Despite stepping away from TM2, she hasn’t shut the door to the possibility of another show, saying she would “do reality TV” again if she was offered her “own show.”

With the multiple failed relationships behind her, Kailyn and longterm boyfriend Elijah Scott welcomed baby No. 1 together, a son named Rio, in November 2022. The pair are now expecting twins, making the expecting babies No. 6 and No. 7 for Kail!

Jo Rivera

Fans were first introduced to Kail when she was linked to Jo Rivera as a teenager. The couple appeared on a 2010 episode of 16 & Pregnant while she was pregnant with their son, Isaac. Things went south soon after Isaac’s birth, even though the couple were living together at Jo’s parents’ house, and they eventually split. Throughout the next decade the pair reunited in court numerous times battling over custody agreements and child support.
In 2011, while trying to make it as a rapper, Rivera met Vee Torres on the set of his music video. The two were married shortly after and welcomed their daughter Vivi in 2015.
Though the relationship between Isaac’s parents has been rocky, Kailyn still refers to Jo as the “least problematic” of her children’s fathers. Her relationship with Vee has also flourished in recent years with the moms hosting a podcast together called “Baby Mamas No Drama.”

Javi Marroquin

According to the Pride Over Pity author, she met Javi Marroquin at the Lehigh Valley Mall in Whitehall, Pennsylvania. After less than a year of dating, Javi proposed with a sweet scavenger hunt that led her to a lakeside where he was waiting with Isaac. Kail, of course, said yes and the two had a courthouse wedding just days before he left for basic training for the Air Force.
In 2013, while Kail was seven months pregnant with their son, Lincoln, the couple celebrated again with a ceremony amongst family and friends. Three years, a move to Delaware, a deployment and a heartbreaking miscarriage later, the couple called it quits.
Javi moved on from Kail to one of her Teen Mom 2 costars, Briana DeJesus. Though his relationship with Bri did not last, the drama it caused amongst the castmates is everlasting.
When things ended with Briana, Javi hopped into another serious relationship with Lauren Comeau. The pair’s on-again off-again relationship has been littered with cheating accusations against Javi (including when he allegedly tried to hook up with Kail in a Wawa parking lot), as well as a restraining order, which was dropped one day later.
In 2021, Javi denied claims that he cheated on Lauren with Kail. “While I have tried to avoid a he said/she said situation,” he told In Touch at the time, “the accusations Lauren made against me this afternoon on Instagram are false.”
The two are currently off-again, but they share custody of their 3-year-old son, Eli.

Chris Lopez

Following her divorce from Javi, Kail began secretly seeing Chris Lopez after meeting at Delaware State University. The couple welcomed son Lux in 2018, but things quickly turned sour.
Though their relationship was always hot and cold, through one particularly rough patch, Kail went as far as changing their son’s name from Lux Lopez to Lux Lowry.
In late 2019, while taping a reunion special, the “Coffee Convos” host told Dr. Drew that her coparenting relationship with Lopez was non-existent. She filed a restraining order against him shortly after. Lopez was arrested the following year for breaking the restraining order, but was released after posting bond.
Weeks after Lopez’s arrest, in February 2020, Kail confirmed that she was pregnant with her fourth child. It wasn’t until later that Chris was confirmed to be the father.
The pair’s second son, Creed Lopez, was born in July 2020.
In 2021, Chris welcomed his third son, Trew Christopher, with another woman.

Elijah Scott

Kail and Elijah kept their relationship quiet for months before she hard launched her man on social media. Rumors quickly began swirling that Kailyn was pregnant and expecting baby No. 5, her first with Elijah. The Pennsylvania native let the news of her son’s birth slip during a podcast episode featuring Aurora Culpo.

“I actually watched — I first came across your show [when] I was in the hospital having one of my kids,” Kailyn told her guest in July 2023. “The first episode that I saw was, I believe, you told your parents that you were, maybe, separating or divorcing and then one of your sisters was going to watch your kids.”

Fans were quick to take note of the fact that Aurora’s reality show, The Culpo Sisters, premiered in November 2022, the same month she was rumored to have given birth to Rio. Kail and Eli were neighbors before their relationship turned romantic.

“I had already bought my house and moved into my house before I knew that this was your house,” Elijah said during an appearance on her podcast.

Kailyn stayed quiet about the experience of giving birth to her fifth child until an October 2023 episode of her “Barely Famous” podcast. She revealed that she gave birth to Rio in a hospital, not at home like she did with Creed, because it was a “high risk” pregnancy. However, the experience was “traumatic” for Kail because Rio went to the NICU immediately after his birth.

“I literally got to hold him for maybe three seconds before they took him to the NICU,” she said.

While Kail admitted she was “freaking out” about it, Elijah stayed surprisingly calm.

“When I asked him the other day, he was like, ‘You were freaking out and we didn’t have time with him, so I didn’t have a chance to cry and process my son being born because you were so upset,’” the mom of five continued. “I’m like, ‘He almost died.’ And Elijah’s like, ‘No, Kail. He went to the NICU,’” she said. “To me, that’s near death … It was traumatizing for me.”

Kail and Elijah are now expecting twins, which will make her a mom of seven! The MTV alum announced the news on her “Barely Famous” podcast in October 2023.
