Catelynn Lowell & Tyler Baltierra
While the absence of Carly—who lives with her adoptive parents, Brandon and Teresa Davis—still aches, the couple live for their meetups.
“The girls love her,” Catelynn told E! News of her younger daughters’ reaction to Carly. “It’s pretty awesome to be able to witness it. And we’re blessed that we do have an open adoption to be able to witness it. It’s truly a blessing to be able to watch all of these things over the years.”
Maci Bookout & Ryan Edwards
These days they’re focused on building a co-parenting relationship. “We’re in a good place,” Maci revealed to E! News in 2023, adding that Ryan is showing up “more consistently now than maybe he ever has before.”
Maci Bookout & Taylor McKinney
Partners in parenting, life and their TTM Lifestyle fashion brand, “He’s just my person,” she told E! News in 2023. “Even when we’ve had a rough year together, I think at the end of the day, I still choose him. I like him. And even if I want to punch him in the face sometimes, I’d rather argue with him or have a rough patch with him than never have a rough patch with anybody else.”
Cheyenne Floyd & Cory Wharton
“Our biggest thing since day one of Cory coming into Ryder’s life was what kind of dad he wanted to be and what kind of parent he wanted to be,” Cheyenne explained to E! News in March 2020. “I wasn’t going to allow him to be a Disneyland dad or an Instagram dad or just in the moment. He had to be 100 percent. I think from the beginning, he saw my mindset and appreciated it so that’s why we co-parent so well.”
Cheyenne Floyd & Zach Davis
“We spent the past two years knocking things off our list,” Cheyenne told E! News in 2024. “We wanted to have a baby, we had Ace. We wanted to get married, we had our wedding. We wanted to buy a house, we bought our house.”
And now, she continued, “I don’t want to do anything. I don’t want to set a goal. I want to sit down. I want to be really still. My goal is to be still and just to be happy with where we’re at. And just to like each other. That’s it. I want nothing else.”
Cory Wharton & Taylor Selfridge
“We just bought a house,” he shared with E! News in 2023, before bringing up that, yes, he’s aware that people want to know when they’re getting married. “It’s definitely being talked about. We have everything but the ring and me just letting her know. Taylor deserves that and it’s something that I want and she wants. Right now we’re just taking steps to get there.”
Ryan Edwards & Mackenzie Standifer
Though the pair would welcome daughter Stella in January 2020, Mackenzie filed for divorce three years later.
Amber Portwood & Gary Shirley
“We have fun together but at a distance,” Amber told E! News in January 2022. “But our relationship is good. It’s a family now so we treat it as a family more than anything else.”
Amber Portwood & Matt Baier
“Honestly, you just get to a point when you’re done hearing things and you just start to not care in a relationship and I think that’s what started happening to me and him,” Amber revealed on Dr. Drew Pinsky‘s podcast later that year. “I started not to care anymore about the relationship like you should. I put a wall up so I wouldn’t get hurt again pretty much.”
Amber Portwood & Andrew Glennon
But the couple separated not long after Amber was arrested for domestic battery in July 2019. And after a contentious court battle, California native Andrew was awarded sole legal and primary physical custody of their son in 2022.
“I’ve worked so hard to better myself and improve my relationships with my children,” the Teen Mom star told E! News at the time. “While I’ve always been candid about my past substance abuse and struggles with mental illness, a person should have the chance to redeem themselves and not be tethered to their problems from the past.”
Determined not to give up, she added, “If your road has not been perfect, but you’ve worked hard to become a better, more stable and caring person today, keep moving forward as I will. I’ll never stop fighting for my children who I love more than anything.”
Amber Portwood & Dimitri Garcia
In April 2021, Amber revealed on the Teen Mom OG reunion special that she was still dating Dimitri. “We’ve known each other now for 18 months,” she explained. “But I haven’t seen him in a year though.” Though the pair never officially announced a split, Amber introduced new flame Gary Wayt during a June 2024 episode of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter.
Amber Portwood & Gary Wayt
Though he proposed in May 2024, their betrothal was short-lived. While in North Carolina for her brother’s wedding that June, Gary ran off after the pair had a fight, leading Amber to report him as missing.
And while Gary was soon located, the duo’s engagment wasn’t the only thing left broken.
“I’ve had to deal with thinking my fiancé was dead for three to four days,” Amber said on Teen Mom: The Next Chapter. “I had to deal with literally grieving and trying to make sense of why the f–k would somebody do this to me. I am going through something right now.”
“This man broke me,” she continued. “I was stable. Right now, this is the first time in years in my life I am not f–king right because a man put a ring on my finger.”
Gary Shirley & Kristina Anderson
“You are one of the most beautiful souls I know,” Gary wrote in a 2022 Instagram post. “I don’t know how I would do this without you.”
Farrah Abraham & Derek Underwood
Farrah Abraham & Simon Saran
Though their 2017 split got ugly (as in cease-and-desist ugly), the two gave a stab at trying to remain friends. Sorta.
“I have no hard feelings against Farrah,” Simon told E! News at the time. “We are just from two different worlds. She likes the fake life, I want what’s real. I wish the best for her and much success in all of her future endeavors.”
Jenelle Evans & Andrew Lewis
“I do feel bad because that’s Jace’s dad,” Jenelle reflected on a 2019 episode of Teen Mom 2. “But I know how he is, and I don’t want him to disappoint my son. I don’t want [him] to pop back in and then pop back out.”
Jenelle Evans & David Eason
After a particularly rocky stretch saw David charged with a child abuse misdemeanor involving Jace (at the time, Jenelle likened it to a “smear campaign”), Jenelle revealed they had separated. “I would’ve skipped straight to divorce but I couldn’t because in the state of North Carolina, you have to be legally separated for a year,” she explained on social media, “and you have to prove you have two separate addresses.”
Chelsea Houska & Adam Lind
Completely in the rearview.
Against all odds, the Teen Mom star-turned-HGTV personality has a somewhat copacetic relationship with her high school ex Adam Lind, mom to her eldest daughter Aubree. “There’s no bad vibes and it’s just a very open relationship,” she told Us Weekly. “There’s no bad feelings. We see him sometimes and it’s totally fine.”
Chelsea Houska & Cole DeBoer
“If we were going to come back to TV, I wanted it to be something lighthearted, feel good and be able to show our authentic selves,” Chelsea explained to E! News, sharing why this move felt “so right.” As she put it, “This was just such a cool opportunity to do that.”
Leah Messer & Corey Simms
Corey has been married to Miranda Patterson since 2013.
Leah Messer & Jeremy Calvert
Though they split in 2015, they have made an effort to co-parent their daughter with sometimes mixed results. “I’m looking at a complete, better version of myself,” Leah told E! News of her girls. “And seeing everything that they love and enjoy doing, and being able to support them in their lives and be a part of it is magical. I love it. I love being a mom, especially a girl mama.”
Leah Messer & Jaylan Mobley
The couple announced their engagement in August 2022, but broke up that October.
“I needed that breakup,” the Teen Mom star confessed to E! News a year later. “I’ve learned a lot from my last breakup and, moving forward, I do feel like my life is just beginning.”
Kailyn Lowry & Jo Rivera
And though they split a year later, they’ve since settled into a comfortable co-parenting arrangement, Kailyn even hosting her Baby Mamas No Drama podcast with Jo’s wife Vee Torres. “We’ve come a long way since we were 18,” Kailyn wrote on X after attending Jo and Vee’s 2018 wedding. “I couldn’t ask for a better stepmom for isaac.”
