‘Teen Mom’ News Pile: Leah Messer Talks About the Probability of Her Kids Being Teen Moms; Kail Lowry Says She Doesn’t Want Briana DeJesus in Her Presence & More

“I reckon my youngins won’t be followin’ in my footsteps!”

From thinking about getting another husband to thinking about getting another kid, the stars of the Teen Mom franchise (both past and present) have been keeping themselves busy lately!

In an effort to get you up-to-date on the latest Teen Mom OG and Teen Mom 2 news, The Ashley brings you the Teen Mom News Pile. Here are some of the major (and minor but interesting) ‘Teen Mom’-related things that have happened over the last week or so.

Leah Messer talks about the possibility of her girls becoming teen moms & reveals if she’d ever get married again 

“Well, maybe YOUR dad, Addie.”

Leah Messer may want her three daughters to “stand in their power,” but she does not want them to follow in her teen mom footsteps.

During a recent Instagram Q&A session with fans, the ‘Teen Mom 2’ star said she considers her daughters to be a blessing, but that she wants better for them and hopes to  break the cycle of teen pregnancy in her family. 

(As The Ashley detailed in her 2013 book, Teen Mom Confidential, Leah comes from a long line of teen moms. Her mom, Dawn, was married and pregnant with Leah by the age of 16. Leah’s grandmother was also a teen mom.) 

As Dr. Drew as been telling us for years, children of teen parents are statistically more likely to become teen parents themselves, a fact that Leah seems to be aware of.

“Wait? Someone actually LISTENED to me?”

She stated that she’s doing everything she can to prevent her daughters from starring on “16 and Pregnant” Season 20.

“… I wholeheartedly believe that I’m doing the work to prevent that from happening,” she said. “I want them to fulfill their dreams and what they’re passionate about before children. & I understand the reality and responsibility that comes with being a parent at any age.”

“My daughters are a BLESSING and incredibly talented little humans… I would never wish that path for them,” she added. 

In the same Q&A Leah Messer Simms Calvert Messer said that she hasn’t ruled out the idea of walking down the aisle for a third time; however, she isn’t interested in becoming Mrs. Calvert or Mrs. Simms again. 

Leah recently addressed the topic during a Q&A on her Instagram Story, vowing to never reunite with ex-husbands Jeremy Calvert or Corey Simms – the latter of whom has been remarried to wife Miranda for years. 

“This will NEVER happen!” Leah said. “Jeremy is Adalynn’s dad, just as Corey is the twins’ dad. We all get along very well and put our daughters’ best interest first. I prefer to keep it that way. I will always wish them the best in life.” 

“Is that what all those dang ‘Stand In Your Power’ texts was about?”

Leah went on to tell another fan that she’s open to dating, but isn’t sure if she’ll ever get married again. 

“I don’t really think this far into it,” she said. “I just hope to find someone someday to be weird and old with.” 

Leah went on to describe her “type” as someone who is career driven, adventurous, funny, compassionate, fem, empathetic and “[obviously] someone that loves kids.” 

“We just gotta vibe & hold it down long time through good & bad times,” she added. 

Leah parted ways with Ali and Aleeah’s dad Corey in 2011 and she was married to Addie’s dad Jeremy from 2012 to 2015.

Kail Lowry says she no longer has beef with Briana DeJesus…but doesn’t want her around her

“We got carved up by Dr. Miami together and we both boinked Javi. Haven’t we been through enough?”

Kail and Briana’s battle has played out for years on social media, in the press and, perhaps most infamously, during a physical fight on the 2017 Reunion stage that included vase-throwing, plenty of screeching and even some hair-pulling. 

Years after that fight, the ‘Teen Mom 2’ stars appear to have squashed their beef, with Kail even congratulating Bri on her recent engagement. However, on a recent episode of her Coffee Convos podcast, Kail made it clear that she’s fine with Briana…as long as Briana stays away from her. 

“I will say that, at this last Reunion that we filmed, I was feeling pressure to say that I would sit on the couch with Briana,” Kail told her co-host Lindsie Chrisley and their guest, new ‘Teen Mom 2’ star Ashley Jones.

“I don’t have beef with [Briana],” Kail said. “I don’t care; it’s water under the bridge at this point, but I still don’t want to be in [her] presence.”

Kail said that her statements were not meant in a sarcastic way.

“I can wish you the best of luck and genuinely mean that, but still not want to be around you,” Kail continued. “And that’s a boundary that I’m setting. That’s not something that I would be interested in, but I hope that you guys have a great life. 

“I hope that y’all are all eating, just not here at my table.” 

“I’d like to be eatin’ up some more ex-girlfriend-on-ex-girlfriend drama, for real!”

Last week, Briana admitted during an Instagram Live session (recorded by the TeenMom.Tea Instagram account) that she has tried to reach out to Kail, but Kail is unwilling to talk to her. (As ‘Teen Mom 2’ fans know, Briana dated Kail’s ex-husband, Javi Marroquin, in 2018, which started a lot of the drama.)

 “I messed around with somebody’s ex-husband, I get it, you hate me for that,” Briana said. “I tried to say sorry, I apologized, we are past that. Me and Kail squashed the beef, like there’s no hard feelings about it. Like we literally let it go. I told that ‘you and me cannot be friends, but we can just be cordial, we have to sit at a couch on a reunion, like we can do that.’

“Let me be clear, girls…calling a truce isn’t going to keep me in a job and new blazers for another year. Just sayin!”

“But Kail doesn’t want to do that,” she continued. “I messed with her ex-husband, whatever, I get it.”

Briana said that, despite what fans may think, she and Kail never had a friendship, and that their only bond came from getting their bodies hacked open by Dr. Miami on the same day back in 2016.

“Me and Kail were never friends, never have been friends, me and Kail have never texted each other,” Briana said. “Me and Kail never sat down for dinner. Me and Kail have never been buddy-buddy. We did one surgery together and everyone thinks we were friends and I f**ked with the girl code for messing around with her ex-husband which I shouldn’t have.

“But we live and we learn. But we’re past that.”

 

Mackenzie McKee reveals her plans for more kids.

Mack says her pack will eventually get even bigger than it already is!

The ‘Teen Mom OG’ star recently revealed in an Instagram Q&A with fans that she is planning to adopt at least one more kid at some point in her life.

“What’s one or two more kids poopin’ in the garage?”

Mackenzie, who is already the mother of three children, said that, despite her marriage woes with husband Josh and the, um, crappy situations she’s dealt with as a parent, she hopes to eventually add to her family.

A fan asked Mack if she plans to have any more biological children, to which she stated she does not, given that each of her pregnancies was complicated by her Type 1 Diabetes. (Mackenzie’s youngest son, Broncs, was born with several complications, including a hole in his heart, crowded lungs and a blood infection. He weighed in at over 10 lbs. at birth.)

A post shared by Mackenzie (@mackenziemckee)

“God has truly blessed me,” she told the fan. “With Type 1 diabetes I have chosen to not have any more on my own. But plan to adopt one day. I pray about it often.”

In the same Q&A, Mackenzie talked about the current status of her soap-opera-esque relationship with Josh.

“[We are] fine and dandy,” Mack wrote. “We are a lot more fun than we appear on TV. Just really best friends, even when I wanted a divorce and to move on. We’ve been best friends since we were 15 and I don’t think that will ever change.”

She refused, however, to reveal if she and Josh are back together romantically. (The Ashley suspects this is due to her ‘Teen Mom OG’ contract.) 

“This will always be my man, ladies!”

Mackenzie is not the only ‘Teen Mom’ gal to express interest in adopting some day. Maci Bookout, Briana DeJesus and Jade Cline have all recently expressed interest in adopting a child.

Maci Bookout gives Jenelle Evans a run for a money by purchasing The Land: Tennessee Edition. 

Raise your hand if you plan to put a bar in your new home.

‘Teen Mom OG’ star Maci Bookout and husband Taylor McKinney are proud new owners of a 48-acre piece of property in Cleveland, Tennessee, according to The Sun. 

The two threw down $339,000 for the land on March 22… and undoubtedly went on to throw back a few (dozen) cold beers to celebrate once the ink was dry.

“Cheers to our future house parties…and birthday parties…and, you know, Tuesdays.”

Real estate sites describe the McKinneys’ new slab o’ greenery as a “serene country setting that offers just the right amount of privacy while still being convenient to the town.” 

“I assume ‘privacy’ doesn’t apply to MTV camera crews… “

In addition to privacy, the country retreat boasts “plenty of wildlife.” 

We all know Maci is a big fan of nature and wildlife…

Maci and Taylor’s property is more than 40 acres larger than the property on which their current MTV Mansion sits.

  1. I’m adopted I maybe out of line here but I’m going to say:
    From all of us orphans every where DO NOT ADOPT!!
    MCKEE Did abuse & leave her dog while on vacation. She left HER kids with her dying mom. Just me but I would have spent every minute I could with my mom & let’s face it her kids are brats why do this to your dying mom for days. I have a picture of the poor dogs condition & I remember the Feret incident too.


  2. It’s perfectly fine to be past an issue, but to not want to be friendly with someone. It’s actually a pretty adult way to handle things.

    But Kail isn’t past it and is still making petty comments.


  3. MacKenzie can’t take care of her children or animals the way it is! Why would she consider adopting? For those who have forgotten, she went on vacation a year or two ago and neglected her dog. She left him in a cage outside in the elements for days. Who knows how much food and water he had, but its still neglectful.

    Her kids are also dealing with being separated from their father and moving away from all their family and friends. Hopefully she got her son some help that was sh*tting in her boss’ garage.


  4. So Maci is probably going to build a house to keep a relevant storyline. Cooooooool, another one.


  5. Leah, you had someone that was down for the good and bad times that you could gave grown old with.
    But good luck anyways.

    None of any of these ppl need any more kids. None. Not any of them.


  6. Leah went on to describe her “type” as someone who is career driven, adventurous, funny, compassionate, fem, empathetic and “[obviously] someone that loves kids.”

    “fem” ?????

    What am i missing here.


    1. It sounds as if she is open to dating a woman. Or a feminine man. I’m guessing a woman though since she added “love is love”. A little out of left field…


    2. Nibs, you’re missing the MTV talking points that are always just outside the view of the camera. No other West Virginian has ever uttered that word.


  7. The last thing that Mackenzie needs are more children. She barely raises the ones she has now. It seems like she enjoys doing fun things but when it comes to teaching her kids right from wrong, she is slacking. Case in point, when her two boys ripped a ferret in half at Pet Smart. She posted about it with the comment, “Boys will be boys”.

    Kail and Bri both are immature AF! They both say they have forgotten the feud and have no issues with the other one. Yet they both bring up the others name in passive aggressive comments constantly on SM.


      1. LOL..I was wondering the same thing! So I googled her name and ferret and I guess the boys were fighting over the ferret and pulling at him, I’m guessing in a tug of war type way. Her kids are misbehaved AF.


  8. Wait, wasn’t Briana a guest at Kailyn’s wedding?, I know one of the teen mom girls was a guest an kailyn’s wedding, I could have sworn it was Briana. [side note I know Maci and some other teen mom girls where guests at Caitlyn’s wedding]


    1. I could be wrong but I don’t think she was. You are right about Maci being a guest at Caitlyn’s wedding. Caitlyn and Tyler were also guests at Maci’s wedding. (along with Ryan and Mac).


      1. I don’t remember Briana being in the TM picture at the time of Kail’s wedding, but I think Chelsea was there I seem to remember her helping with the makeup or hair or something of a very pregnant Kail


    2. Briana don’t act like your innocent & just broke the girl code with Kail. Even if you don’t know the women, married men are in that code too. Trashy not classy
