Despite years of publicly feuding with her children’s fathers and previously revealing to fans that she has spent more than $1 million duking it out in custody court with them, Kail Lowry claims she’s been unfairly “villainized” by the public for her baby daddy drama, with the former Teen Mom 2 star also admitting that she has a “hard time” dealing with criticism regarding her personal relationships.
As you know, the mom of seven shares 16-year-old son Elliott with ex-boyfriend Jo Rivera, 12-year-old son Lincoln with ex-husband Javi Marroquin, eight-year-old son Lux and five-year-old son Creed with Chris Lopez, and three-year-old son Rio and two-year-old twins Verse and Valley with former fiancé Elijah Scott.
Throughout the years, Kail has opened up– on ‘Teen Mom 2’ and her assorted podcasts– about her co-parenting challenges with each of her baby daddies, though according to her, some of the public backlash she’s received as a result of those conflicts has been unwarranted.
“ … I’ve been villainized for a long time, you know, partially because that was sort of the storyline on ‘Teen Mom [2],’ but I don’t fight with my kids’ dads nearly as much as people think and my life does not revolve around my kids’ dads,” Kail recently told E! News while promoting her upcoming Fatherless Behavior podcast tour.
After going on to describe co-parenting as “a marathon” and something that will always come with “bumps in the road,” Kail insisted that her particular co-parenting situation is one that a lot of people can relate to in one way or another.
“So, I kind of have a situation– I have several situations– in my co-parenting that, you know, I think that a lot of people can relate to in some way … so I think that in some ways, my situations can apply to a lot of people, so that’s kind of helpful,” Kail explained.
While she’s seemingly happy to open up to fans about the ups and downs in her different co-parenting relationships, Kail revealed that she struggles accepting the criticism she receives from the public.
“I have a hard time with the criticism, to be honest, especially when it comes to my relationships,” she said.
Though Kail debuted her relationship with boyfriend Isaac “Ike” Knighton within just months after splitting with her fiancé Elijah (and proceeded to allow Ike to move in with her and her children), she insists that her romantic relationships have been few and far between.
“ … I think that in the grand scheme of things, I haven’t really dated a whole lot of people,” Kail said. “But because people feel so close to me, they feel like they know me … .”
According to Kail, this judgement is based largely on the fact that there is “no real measure of time on social media,” which can lead to confusion when it comes to relationship timelines.
“You might post something [on social media] that’s old or information might come out sooner than you thought or after you think,” Kail explained. “And so people think that I’ve been with a lot of people in a short amount of time.
“But I mean, if you think about it, I’ve been on TV or in the public eye for about 17 years and I’m like, I actually haven’t been with that many people,” she continued. “So I do have a really hard time with the criticism that I face when it comes to that.”
As The Ashley told you last week, Kail– who exited ‘Teen Mom 2’ in 2022– recently revealed on her Coffee Convos podcast that she’s still angling to nab a reality series about her family, despite claiming back in 2024 that she was “under contract” with a network to do a “Kail and the Chaos” show, which has yet to materialize. Despite her prospective reality series having the word “chaos” in the title, Kail said she would not want to discuss any baby daddy drama on her show.
“I don’t want to talk about my personal problems or my drama,” she said. “I want it to be the funny spin on all the things [my kids do].”

Kailyn has a thinner skin when it comes to criticism than Jenelle and Amber combined. It boggles the mind that she truly believes that she has the right to behave the way she does, without consequences.
I wouldn’t know a single thing about her baby daddy drama and the hate she gets for it if she didn’t talk about it so maybe…. Maaayyyybbbeeee…. Shut it
Agreed, I’ve never heard of her except for this stuff.
Feel Free to disappear then! Most of us seriously dislike you and what you bring to the table!
Kails proposed new shit show (which will never happen) would have an audience of one. And that would be her.
Okay, we have seen her have a kid (or kids) with every single guy that she has dated except for Jordan. If you have a kid with all but one guy that we have seen you with, it doesn’t matter that you have not dated many people. It is the fact that you have a kid/kids with almost EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM that people have the issue with, Kail. That is what people are taking you to task for. Plus, YOU are the one who constantly brings up fighting with their fathers and, I’m sorry, but when you keep doing this with multiple different fathers names it’s going to come across like you have dated a lot of guys. Do you get it now?
The only reason she didn’t have a kid with Jordan was because he was white.
When you essentially make a living by putting your private life out there for public consumption, there will be differing opinions.
When you have EXCESSIVELY made a living by putting your private life out there for public consumption, people and their differing opinions will get louder.
it’s simple, stop letting every man you get with blow his beans up you.
Enough reproductive capital. Get a job and get off your back. Poor kids.
I feel empathy for Kail. She didn’t have any family so she set out to create her own. On one hand I understand that, on the other I hope all the kids get the time and attention they need.
I agree with you, but at some point she needs to have a little bit of self-awareness, and willingness to heal and grow.
That girl is addicted to drama. Most of us are worn out over her constant drama.
Go away Kail!
How boring would it be to watch a tv show about someone else’s kids. Every parent thinks their kids are funny and exceptional. That’s part of being a parent, but she will pump their egos so high and they will end up performing for the camera and become grandiose little arseholes. Do a TV show if you must and by the slim chance a network will take you, whatever, just don’t make it about how “funny” the kids are or it will become like the later years of TM2 when Addie would perform for the camera and it became so cringe.
Exactly! I tried to watch her podcast with Lincoln and Lux and it was so boring. Her kids kept making the same joke about her pooping on the side of the road and they were getting bored and wanted to get to the games. I couldn’t even finish the episode. I also tried to watch the video where Matt tried to babysit the kids and they were acting extremely rude like Matt. That is NOT funny to watch. I couldn’t watch much of that one either.
Lou Grant, on the Mary Tyler Moore show had a definitive number about how many men a woman could date before she became one of “those” women, and the number was … watch the show (it’s a dated, but still funny).
The thing is that she doesn’t “date”, which is what she should do… she repeatedly gets in these intense relationships really fast where they are living together and having children. How does she not see that her pattern is the problem?
Exactly! How many “romantic” relationships has she had WITHOUT producing offspring? That is the question. Does she even know what dating is? “Loved our date, sex was great, I’ll send you a photo of the ClearBlueEasy along with an NDA next week.” She’s almost as out of it as Delujanelle. How can you spend 12 years on Teen Mom without knowing how to have sex that doesn’t result in a pregnancy? I honestly don’t know why anyone would listen to her on this topic, she’s pretty much the poster child for what NOT to do. I’d love to know the demographics on her audience.
What I want to know is, where does she find all the time?? No single mother has enough time to spend with 7 kids. She works. Which is fine. But how does she date and have time to argue?? A majority of these kids are young and very dependent on her still. What the hell goes on. I guess I don’t want to know. My mind can’t handle the insanity.
I not only feel sorry for all of her kids, I feel so sorry for all the baby daddies. They have to deal with her until the kids are 18. Kail will open her legs to the first idiot that comes along and of course they are going to tell her they really like her, just think, free rent, free nasty booty, free food, free everything.
Yep and the number 1 free babysitter which is scary, considering she barely knows.them.
Thats the most ridiculous thing ive ever heard. Kail is never single and shes always talking about conflict with her baby daddies.
Its not the number, its the fact shes never single. Shes codependent and moving in boyfriends very quickly. She also isnt peaceful with coparenting. She admitted to spending a million dollars because she was constantly fighting through the courts with the fathers.
Kail had to go to family court with Chris for assaulting him. Jo doesnt talk to her, Javi only communicates through email. Chris likely communicates through a parenting app.
I hope all of the kids dads say NO to putting their kid on TV.
