The parents of 15-year-old Unexpected star Bella Vaughn are being called out for their questionable parenting (once again) after a clip from Monday’s episode of the TLC series showed the two allowing Bella and her 13-year-old baby daddy Hunter Johnson to shower together while they watched the young couple’s newborn baby in the next room.
No. Seriously.
In the clip, Bella’s mom, Falen Vaughn (very casually) asks Bella if Hunter is going to shower with her, to which Bella tells her, “yeah.” Hunter then follows Bella into the bathroom and tells her to “shut the door,” all while Bella’s dad, Kris Vaughn, and Falen remain outside of the bathroom and Kris tends to Bella and Hunter’s son, Wes.
“My parents definitely know what we do behind closed doors,” Bella says in a confessional. “[Hunter’s mom] Stacy does too, but my dad definitely doesn’t wanna hear about it.”
As the clip goes on, Kris tells viewers that while he loves his grandson, he’s hoping that Bella and Hunter (who was just 12 years old when Wes was conceived) will graduate from high school before welcoming a second “whoops” child.
“ … the one thing that would cause me to lose my mind and really get pissed off would be if there’s another kid that pops up before these two get out of high school and get their lives started, cause we’re trying to do everything we can to help them and not let this hold them back,” Kris says. “But if they have a second ‘whoops,’ they’re gonna be in trouble.”
Fans on social media likely pulled a muscle sprinting soon took to the comments to sound off on Falen and Kris allowing their teen daughter and her (even younger) teen boyfriend to shower together in their home, with many people questioning what the two were thinking.
“Uuummmmm!! What?! I was a teen mom. Speaking from experience WTAF?!” one person wrote, with another asking, “Why are y’all letting them shower together? wtf.”
In addition to the multiple comments from viewers stressing that Bella and Hunter practice safe sex to avoid another teenage pregnancy, many fans called out Kris and Falen for seemingly encouraging Bella and Hunter’s behavior.
“Step 1. Don’t hold the baby while they shower together. Lots of other steps in there but if you don’t want baby number 2 don’t help them make it!” one comment read.
“Dad says, ‘they are gonna be in trouble’ if a second baby happens,” another viewer wrote. “What’s he gone do…rock that one too?”
“They letting them shower together?” another viewer on Facebook asked. “This family is so weird. Like you can’t stop kids from doing what they gonna do but making it easy for them and encouraging it is extra weird.”
This week’s jaw-dropping scene comes just a week after viewers were left gobsmacked (and highly disturbed) by Bella discussing on-camera how Hunter wanted to have “butt sex” to avoid another pregnancy, as Bella allegedly “refuses” to get on birth control due to the “stupid” side effects. More disturbingly, Bella made these “butt sex” comments in the presence of her parents, who seemed completely unfazed, with Falen in particular even giggling over her daughter’s remarks.
As fans of ‘Unexpected’ know, Kris and Falen’s older daughter, Emi Vaughn, is also a teen mom, having welcomed a daughter just weeks after Bella. Since Season 7 of ‘Unexpected’ began airing, the Vaughns have received a fair share of scrutiny from fans, leading Bella and her parents to take to TikTok Live several times in an effort to defend themselves.
In one of those rants, Bella came to her parents’ defense, insisting that Falen and Kris are “great parents” who did what they could to prevent her from becoming a teen mom.
“They have done everything for me,” she said. “They support, they take care of me, they help me take care of my kid because I am a teen. I can’t do every single thing right now, but they support me in every single way.”
Bella also argued that it wasn’t her parents’ fault that she got pregnant at 14, claiming she “knew right from wrong” and was aware that she was “doing wrong.”
“It’s not a parenting issue when a teen gets pregnant always … ,” she added.

Bella uses sex to keep Hunter around because Hunter doesn’t really seem too interested in her otherwise. They act more like platonic friends than boyfriend girlfriend. Bella’s parents think Hunter is going to be some big athlete and encourage her being tethered to him so they will be forever tied to him. Ive heard that Falens social media is all about Bella, Hunter and Wes and she doesnt post about her other daughter and her relationship.🤔 They seem to be proud and weirdly invested in fostering Bella and Hunter s relationship and keeping Hunter in their lives.
If you have not one but two HORNY kids who all they want to do is have sex especially after one of them comes home from giving birth in the hospital and her parents are being more of their friends is downright disgusting!!! That’s another pregnancy in the books and the parents should have stepped in and told them that the rules and this is what needs to happen and if it doesn’t happen then if the kids think that they are that grown up then tell them that they need to get a place of their own!!! I am glad that dad stepped in and put a stop to this nonsense!!! But knowing the kids they are going to defy the ruling and they will continue to have sex!!! This family especially her makes me feel that she (the smirk on her face and the parents says it all) wanted to get pregnant on purpose!!! Where is CPS in all of this and how it doesn’t raise any red flags 🚩 here?!?!?
These people are disgusting to the point of perversion. What the actual fuck is wrong with this group of bottom dwellers?
I’d bet a ton of money that not only will Bella end up pregnant at least one more time before 18, but also that she and her loser baby daddy won’t even graduate high school and will just be another couple of leaches on the US taxpayers. Here’s to hoping Bella’s obesity makes her less fertile moving forward
I’ll wager she’ll have three kids by 18. WHY is his mom allowing him to stay over? Why is are her parents allowing the same?!
There waaaaay too many types of birth control for every sex life. She’s full of shit and clearly hasn’t looked into birth control in it’s entirety. Parents are just as dumb
I think Felon (typo and it stays) is totally in love with Hunter. Just another gross twist in this gross twisted family.
The parents are trash!
Her parents letting this happen is equivalent to child neglect. It equivalent to letting two 10 year olds shower together. Would that be okay? Absolutely NOT! They are VERY young minors, not even close to 18. Her parents need legal consequences.
Falen looks like she has FAS. It would explain a lot of her decisions.
I am very surprised that child services haven’t been called on these parents. This boy was 13 years old. Great example of parenting.
This children are running all over these so called parents!!!
They don’t have to run far!
I hope this helps hunters dad’s court case gaining custody of him. Because this is absolutely ridiculous and disgusting.
These disgusting people should stop being rewarded by TLC and be investigated by CPS instead.
Single mom here. I’ve had to be the mom and the dad so when a potential boyfriend/girlfriend wanted to date my kids. I never made it easy. Ever.
When my daughter’s first boyfriend asked me for a ride home I popped the trunk and said “jump in”. I was only slightly kidding.🤣He didn’t last long and for very good reason.
But I damn sure wouldn’t have allowed two kids to be having sex, taking showers together and spending the night. WTF is wrong with these people?!
Bella constantly talking about hooking up with the boy is a weird flex. No one is impressed.
Doesn’t take a whole lot of talent to have sex.
These are some of the worst parents. Even a parent who is outwardly abusive actually knows right from wrong, they just choose to ignore it. The girls parents are horrifying and borderline grooming.
I hope Hunters dad gets custody.
The “butt sex” comments last week left me horrified. That couch would’ve been flipped if one of my kids talked like that, and mom and dad just sat there! Didn’t say a word. I felt like they were thinking, “well, he’s got a point.” YUCK YUCK YUCK!! Mia’s dad is the only one with any sense.
Girl, yes! Look at Mia’s daddy’s reaction to hearing Jesse took the condom off versus Bella’s parents’ non-chalantness about all of this. It’s such a wild contrast to see on one show.
It says a lot that the parents tolerate it. I would feel weird (and gross) talking about my sex life with my parents in earshot and I’m a married woman in my 30’s lol
wtf is wrong with these people. Absolutely disgusting.
These trashbags are ridiculous fame-chasers. They should not be on TV. They should be in family court.
It just keeps getting worse! The adults act like those two are a grown, married couple instead of very young teenagers and it’s disturbing.
I’m in my 40’s and wouldn’t act that way in my parents home now. It’s so bizarre.
They have no boundaries or shame whatsoever.
I’m a grown-ass woman and I felt weird sneaking away with my husband who is a few multiples of 13 while my mom watched our baby so we could have some alone time. I sure as hell didn’t discuss it with my mom before or after. That would be mortifying.
Those morons are practically begging for another grandbaby in the near future.
I felt weird facing my parents after my wedding night. It’s like I knew, they knew, I for sure wasn’t a virgin now and it made me embarrassed. I can’t imagine even now, being 41 and married forever, to talk like this in front of my parents.
Those people are grooming Hunter. CPS needs to get involved
