Kailyn Lowry’s Kids’ Fathers: The ‘Teen Mom 2’ Star’s Exes

For 12 years, fans of MTV’s Teen Mom 2 have followed along with Kailyn Lowry’s journey from teenage pregnancy to successful mother of four. Her storyline through the years has had no shortage of boyfriend (and husband) drama. From the numerous heartbreaks, a heart-wrenching miscarriage, multiple cheating accusations and one brutal divorce came four sons from three fathers.

Now, a successful businesswoman with two podcasts, a haircare line, a New York Times best seller and multiple brand partnerships, she seems to be shying away from the cameras. She has even made it a point to keep the drama with her sons’ fathers quiet when MTV cameras are present.

Last season, she took fans along as she designed and built her dream home, found a hobby for her oldest son, shuttled her sons to various sporting practices and worked on multiple outside projects, all with far less drama than we are used to.

The single mom was also noticeably absent from the cast trip to San Diego for Teen Mom: Family Reunion and will supposedly be absent from “five to six episodes” throughout this season of TM2. During the season 11 premiere, she took to Twitter to announce that she would not be in the episode.

“This was by choice – was just letting y’all know,” she tweeted.

Kail’s decision to take an extended hiatus from filming came after it was revealed that her younger sons’ father, Chris Lopez, had officially signed on to the MTV reality show, after years of avoiding the cameras.

“I don’t give one single f–k what Chris does,” she said when asked how she felt about the situation.

Though she seems to be stepping away from the show that made her famous as a teenager, the 30-year-old hasn’t shut the door to the possibility of reality TV in her future.

During a recent Instagram Story Q&A, one fan asked Kailyn, “If the opportunity for your own show came up, would you take it?” “I think that’s the only way I would do reality TV moving forward,” she responded.

Now away from the cameras and with the multiple failed relationships behind her, Kailyn seems to be taking her chance at love one more time. When asked in March 2022 if she was “seeing anyone,” the reality star answered “Yesssssss.”

Though fans might not be able to see how this new relationship plays out on screen, we can always look back on the last 12 years.

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.
