A new promo clip for the upcoming seventh season of Unexpected is upping the “ick” factor.
On Thursday, TLC posted a clip from the new season in which teen-dad-to-be Hunter talks about how surprised he is that he knocked a girl up at such a young age.
“I was 12 when I found out I was going to be a dad,” Hunter says. “Now I’m 13. I did not think I would be finishing eighth grade and becoming a dad at the same time.”
His girlfriend, Bella Vaughn— who was 14 when she got knocked up by Hunter— agrees that it was surprising how things played out. She also discussed how her teen pregnancy has changed her sex life with her very young boyfriend.
(Yes, sadly you read that correctly…)
“I didn’t think at 15 years old I’d be pregnant,” she said. “I didn’t think with a 13-year-old, either!”
Bella’s mom, Falen, insists she was trying to “prevent teenage pregnancy” in her home. (She failed miserably, though, as both her daughters got pregnant as teens within months of each other. Bella gave birth to son Wes in March 2025, while her 19-year-old sister Emi welcomed her daughter two months later.)
Bella stated that she got knocked up simply because the condom broke.
“Oops,” she says, looking amused.
Bella goes on to admit that she and Hunter “could have waited a little bit longer” to start having sex. However, she insists that banging it out as pre-teens was “Hunter’s idea.”
She also claimed that, now that Hunter’s experienced the ol’ horizontal mambo, he doesn’t want to stop.
“All he wants to do is have sex!” Bella tells her mother. “Because I’m not going to get pregnant again! I’m already pregnant!”
In the comment section of the clip posted to TLC’s Facebook page, viewers expressed how surprised (and horrified) they are that the show is covering 12-year-olds having sex.
“At 12 I was literally playing wizards in the woods with a stick,” one person wrote.
“At 12 I still thought Santa was real, what’s going on?” another person commented.
“It feels icky to watch this,” someone else wrote.
Bella and Hunter (as well as Bella’s family) have already caused a lot of controversy, despite the fact that the new season doesn’t begin airing until February 16. After it was revealed that Hunter was 12 and Bella was 14 when they conceived, their families faced plenty of scrutiny, causing them to defend themselves on TikTok Live several times.
“Hunter is a father! Just because he was 12 [when he got me pregnant], he turned 13 a few days later!” Bella said in a video posted to TikTok last month. “I understand it doesn’t make it any better. I understand. He was sexually ready faster than I was, and that’s OK. But I was ready when we had sex.”
Bella also addressed fans who have stated that they think Bella should be arrested for having sex with Hunter.
“You can all stop saying it was illegal and that I raped him, because I didn’t,” she said. “It was both consensual on both sides. People have already said that. We have already talked to the cops about it. It was consensual.”
In another TikTok posted last month, Bella revealed that, while she and Hunter are each other’s “first love,” Hunter had been with other girls before her, despite being very (VERY) young at the time.
“No revenge because even though I wasn’t his FIRST love, I am his first LOVE,” she wrote.
The new season of ‘Unexpected’ premieres February 16 on TLC.

I really don’t understand the point of this show and from this article alone talking about how a 12 year old wants sex a lot is just disgusting. Whoever is watching this show as an adult should be put on a watchlist. Normalizing this is really sick.
No disrespect that girl ( is she a bit um social? She looks like something is not quite right) the mom, she’s failed as a parent big time, the minor father looks younger than his age too.
Damn this shouldn’t be promoted-on tv, it’s quite disturbing.
Fetal alcohol syndrome, most likely.
Not that this makes the situation remotely better, but he looks thirteen to me. Haven’t actually watched any clips, so I don’t know if he acts younger, though.
This is the most disturbing and disgusting article. This show shouldn’t get any attention whatsoever.
I think BOTH parents failed horribly. At 12 he should be interested in superhero movies, not sleeping around with girls and getting them pregnant! When I was 12, I hardly even talked to boys, it was still the awkward stage of “oh shit, he might find out I have a crush on him.”
And when they inevitably stop being together (RARELY a couple so young stays together), what will happen to poor Wes who is involved in all this mess?! I only feel bad for the kid, he didn’t ask to be born to such young parents.

Is anyone not seeing that Hunter having sex before Bella at 12 years old sounds like he may have been assaulted as a child and he is acting out what he knows.
This gives me horrible vibes for his future and his son’s.
That’s a possible, but it can also be a result of shitty parenting by letting kids have unmonitored access to the internet, where they’re exposed to p0rn at a young age– either by looking it up out of curiosity or happening upon it on accident. It will mess a kid’s developing brain up. Both of them seem to have ridiculously lax parents based on what we’ve seen so far.
Didn’t even read the article, but commenting to make it clear that this is a literal middle school child and publicizing anything about him having sex is disgusting.
Same here. Disgusting.
Every time I see his face it is just shocking how young he is. And he looks young. Some kids are young but look older than their age. He looks his age exactly. It is disturbing.
Take this crap off TV and stop making money off of this absolute disgrace!!! I feel like I need to shower with bleach after reading it. This is beyond low.
I felt icky just by reading this. Why do we need to know about 13 year old’s sex life? That’s so wrong in so many levels. Her parents are disgusting
So wrong on so many levels and for so many reasons.
WHAT ARE THE PARENTS ACTUALLY DOING????
Not preventing her daughters from getting knocked up.
I feel like the boy’s parents deserve some shame as well
Eeeewwwww
Beyond Honey Boo-Boo level of trash. The parents of the child-parents involved have proven that already. Which is probably why the educationally oriented The “Learning” 🙄 Channel signed this dumpster fire situation.
And watch these ignoramuses get signed for their own show so people can gawk as they have another kid or two while they are still teens, drop out of school, find new partners, and have even more kids and baby mamas / daddii. Hard pass since I already watched the beginning of the movie Idiocracy.
This is so sick, I would be really interested to know what the network’s justification is for airing this.
The answer is & ALWAYS is…. $$$$$$
“He turned 13 a few days later!” 🤦🏻♀️ girl…. Be so fkn for real right now. Yall are gonna have to explain this to your kid at some point, like when your kid turns 18 and his dad is barely 30
Pregnant or not, why are they able to be doing *that* all the time? This girl is giving “Nothing worse can happen, Mom!” vibes from the Jenelle days.
This is disgusting and abhorrent. TLC needs to cancel this season.
