From getting back to filming to getting all four of your baby daddies pissed off at you, it’s been a busy week for the stars/former stars of the “Teen Mom” franchise! In an effort to bring you up-to-date on the latest “Teen Mom” 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 happened over the last week or so…
Catelynn Lowell Reveals She’s Filming Something for MTV Soon; Says She Now Has a ‘Regular Job’
Just days after Cory Wharton claimed MTV/Paramount has a “game plan” for the cast of ‘Teen Mom,’ Catelynn has seemingly confirmed that news, while also confirming that she’s actually got a (gasp) regular job since filming ended.
Yes, kids, you did read that correctly: an original ‘Teen Mom’ star has a real job!
On a special solo episode of her Cate & Ty Break It Down! podcast, Catelynn revealed that she is employed doing something other than putting her mug on TV.
“As of right now, I work a job, a quote on quote ‘real job’ I guess you can say, and I love it,” she said. “It’s working with the youth. It just makes my heart so happy and I love being able to get out of the house for a few hours a day and also have adult conversations. Plus all of the kids are in school now so I love being able to get out and make some extra money and interact with adults. It’s been really, really great.”
While Cate now has a day job, she’s not planning to give up being on TV. She revealed that she and Tyler are actually shooting something in relation to ‘Teen Mom’ very soon.
“‘Teen Mom’ is not cancelled,” she said. “We are actually in the works for something right now for MTV/Paramount, and it’s going to be different from our show but we’re super, super excited to be working on it. We can’t wait for it to come out. We actually are going to film for it within the next few weeks. So we’re excited about that.”
Catelynn also stated that she and Tyler have “some ideas” about a possible spin-off show about them that they’ve “been running” by people.
“But, yes, we are in talks for different types of things, ideas that we have,” Catelynn said. “And, like I said, in a few weeks we are leaving Michigan and going to record something for MTV/Paramount. And we’re so excited for you guys to see it. I hope it turns out so amazing and I’m really looking forward to it.”
Jenelle Evans’ Ex-Boyfriend Kieffer Delp Welcomes Second Child
Kieffer Delp, the infamous and seemingly always green-hoodie-wearing ex-boyfriend of Jenelle Evans, is officially a father of two.
On Tuesday, Kieffer took to social media to announce the arrival of his second child– a daughter named Stormi.
“Well sometimes things work out this is Stormi she’s my second daughter I am crushing it I am blessed that’s all -K,” Kieffer posted to X.
As The Ashley previously reported, Jenelle’s former boooooyfriend– who frequently appeared alongside Jenelle on ‘Teen Mom 2’ years ago– shared in 2024 that he had recently gotten out of jail, was newly sober and had just become a first-time father to a daughter.
Kieffer has frequently expressed on social media how much fatherhood has changed his life, even telling fans in September that his daughter was his “whole world.”
Unfortunately, Kieffer went on to hint in November that he was in the midst of a custody fight over his oldest child. (It remains unknown if Kieffer’s two children share the same mother.)
Despite revealing at the time that he was now “single and fighting to see [his] daughter,” Kieffer assured fans that he was “still clean.”
Around that time, Kieffer also vowed on Facebook to never return to his previous life of drugs and crime, while encouraging others to “stay clean” as well.
“Yea in two years I could be sitting in rehab or jail with a real good sob story as to why I relapsed,” Kieffer wrote. “A bunch of good excuses why I’m not taking care of my daughter and a whirlwind of intentions to get back on track. Yea, f**k that.
“Stay strong,” he continued. “Drugs will ease the pain for 5 seconds and bring you years of misery for it no matter what the obstacle how f**ked over you think you have been stay clean. Keep a clear head.”
Jenelle has yet to comment on her ex’s new addition; however, back in September, she named Kieffer as the one man from her past that she’d like to reconnect with, “if he had his life together and [was] stable.”
“ … I would be up for that,” Jenelle told The Sun. “He’s really funny, he was really protective of me and the only problem between our relationship was him, ya know, being on drugs.”
Kail Lowry Says None of Her Baby Daddies Had Good “Breeding Qualities”; Compares Them to Dogs
Kail seems to have regrets about the (many) men she’s had children with, taking to her podcast this week to talk about how she bred with men who had less-than-desirable qualities.
During the latest episode of her Coffee Convos podcast, Kail asked her co-host Lindsie Chrisley what her younger self would think about her life today. When it came time for Kail to answer the question herself, she immediately stated that young Kail would never believe that she would end up with four baby daddies. (As ‘Teen Mom’ fans know, Kail’s bushel of baby daddies includes Jo Rivera, Javi Marroquin, Chris Lopez and Elijah Scott.)
“First of all, my younger self wouldn’t believe I have seven kids,” she said, adding that she originally never wanted any children.
She then went on to talk about the “breeding qualities”— or lack thereof— that the men she had kids with have.
“If you think about it, none of my baby daddies have breeding qualities people look for,” she said. “When you think about dogs, you pick the dogs with the best qualities, right? Or with animals in general, it’s survival of the fittest…”
Lindsie chimed in to state that, in the South, men sometimes talk about if a woman would be “a good breeder” or not. Kail stated that she was actually dogging on herself (pun intended) by comparing everyone to dogs.
Or something.
“It’s not funny. I’m comparing myself to a dog in a sense,” she said. “Nobody should have sought me out to breed. Nobody should have procreated with me.”
Kail went on to say that “you really should think about the qualities of the person” before you let them knock you up.
“Starting mentally, let’s do a deep-dive there. Before we think about procreating, let’s talk about the mental health,” she said. “What runs in your family? Genetic qualities. And then, unfortunately, you do have to look at physical attributes. If you’re trying to raise a D[ivision] 1 [college sports] baby, what the f**k was I doing breeding with men that are shorter than me?”
She admitted that she was “desperate for attention and to be loved” so she was willing to have babies with short dudes.
