Catelynn and Tyler’s Heartbreaking Update on Carly’s Life Revealed!

Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Balterirra are cracking open their closed adoption just a little.

In a special sneak peek of the May 22 season finale on MTV’s Teen Mom: The Next Chapter, the former parents of Carly, who is now 16 and was adopted in 2009, have a conversation with Dr. Drew Pinsky as he facilitates their relationship with Carly’s adoptive parents, Brandon Davis and Teresa Davis.

As we find ourselves in this video meeting with Dr. Drew, Catelynn expresses her hope for re-establishing communication. She wishes to convey to her, ‘I care for you deeply and I often think about you.’

Over the phone conversation, Doctor Drew shares his thoughts on Brandon and Teresa’s decision to sever ties with Catelynn and Tyler.

He confided in the couple, who are parents of daughters Nova (10), Vaeda (6), and Rya (3), that this situation was deeply emotional for him, likely echoing their feelings as well. Brandon shared with him some heartening updates about Carly, saying, “This child is flourishing. She has friends, she’s athletic, she’s musically inclined, and she’s involved in so many wonderful activities.

In a turn of events that left me reeling, I found myself feeling somewhat overlooked. To put it plainly, I couldn’t help but exclaim, “If only they had thought to include me in this update, I could have spent more time with that stunning young lady.

For Tyler, Brandon, and Teresa, providing an extraordinary life for their daughter stirs up a range of feelings due to maintaining a distance from her existence.

He expresses that it’s impossible for him not to feel thankful towards them. At the same time, he acknowledges that he could have wished for more transparency and honesty regarding their intentions with the adoption, especially prior to taking the child.

Regardless of the ongoing disputes, Dr. Drew remains hopeful that the two families will eventually find peace and reconcile.

He clarifies, “I don’t anticipate any obstacles or delays in our meeting up. It’s all about taking small steps first. However, it would be lovely if you could consider sending gifts during special occasions such as Christmas and birthdays, as long as they are suitable.

He continues by stating that it won’t be flawless, but the important thing Teresa emphasized is her desire for what you want and to preserve the relationship. However, she feels there should be some sort of reset, allowing everyone to calm down and for any hostility to subside.

As they were wrapping up their conversation, Dr. Drew suggested that Catelynn and Tyler might like to see a heartwarming video of Carly performing in church.

He shares that they’ve made a song of hers, which he finds deeply touching. He invites them both to listen together as it seems like Carly is conveying, “I’m doing well.

The season finale of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter airs Thursday, May 22 at 8 p.m. on MTV.

In 2009, viewers witnessed Catelynn Lowell and her partner Tyler Baltierra face a challenging decision – to give their first-born daughter, Carly, up for adoption. This event unfolded during the premiere season of ’16 and Pregnant’. After spending thirteen years together, they officially tied the knot in August 2015. Since then, they have welcomed three more daughters into their family: Novalee, Vaeda, and Rya.

Despite Carly’s absence, who resides with her adoptive parents Brandon and Teresa Davis, their determination for a promising future remains unwavering.

In an interview with TopMob News in January 2025, Catelynn expressed that their bond “depends on whatever she desires.” She added, “Whether she’s seeking a connection with her biological siblings, or if she wants a relationship with us, fantastic. If not, we get it. It should be all about her, as an adoptee, and what works best for her.

Six short months into our journey, I, an ardent fan, witnessed Maci Bookout grapple with Ryan Edwards’ immaturity on ’16 and Pregnant’. Despite the engagement, this high school sweetheart duo parted ways barely a year after their son Bentley’s birth in 2008.

Currently, they are working diligently to establish a strong co-parenting partnership. As reported by TopMob News in 2023, Maci shared that Ryan is making more regular appearances than ever before, and she feels they’re in a better place than ever.

In 2012, Maci met her long-term partner, Taylor McKinney from Texas. Not long after, they started growing their team. They became parents to daughter Jayde in May 2015 and son Maverick the following year. They got married in Florida in October of the same year.

In 2023, TopMob News interviewed the couple who share responsibilities as parents, partners in life, and co-owners of their TTM Lifestyle fashion brand. She expressed, “He’s simply my soulmate.” Regardless of the challenges they faced throughout the year, she admitted that at heart, she would still pick him. She enjoys being with him, and even when she feels like punching him sometimes, she prefers to argue or experience a difficult phase with him rather than never face any rough patches with someone else.

Regardless of having new partners, the MTV celebrities, who became close during The Challenge production, still share responsibilities for raising their child named Ryder jointly.

From the very start, Cory’s role in Ryder’s life was about determining the kind of father and parent he wanted to become, Cheyenne shared with TopMob News in March 2020. I wasn’t going to let him be a dad who only showed up at special occasions or for social media posts. He had to commit fully. From the get-go, he admired my approach and that’s why our co-parenting works so well.

Following the conclusion of their romance in 2018, they decided to rekindle their relationship. During her 28th birthday celebration, Cheyenne announced on Instagram that she was reunited with Zach. In May 2021, they became parents for the first time, welcoming their son named Ace, and tied the knot in September 2022.

In an interview with TopMob News in 2024, Cheyenne shared, “For the past two years, we’ve been crossing items off our list. Our goal was to have a baby and we welcomed Ace into our family. We aspired to get married, and we had our wedding ceremony. Lastly, we wanted to buy a house and we successfully purchased our dream home.

Now, she went on to say, “I don’t feel like taking action or setting a target. Instead, I desire tranquility. I wish to simply sit and remain motionless. My aim is to stay still and be content with our current situation. All I want is for us to appreciate each other more. That’s all there is to it; I desire nothing else.

Establishing a bond during filming for the show “Ex on the Beach” might not seem like the beginning of a romantic tale, but fast forward several years and two beautiful daughters named Mila and Maya, Cory and former contestant from “Are You the One?”, Taylor Selfridge, are still creating ripples.

In 2023, he told TopMob News that he had recently purchased a new home. He also mentioned that people have been inquiring about his wedding plans. He said, “We’ve been discussing it. All that remains is for me to propose and for Taylor to know about it. I believe she deserves it, and it’s something we both want. At the moment, we’re simply taking steps towards making it happen.

After tying the knot with Mackenzie Standifer in May 2017, Ryan sought help at a rehab facility not long after the wedding. Their first child, Jagger, was born in 2018, during the time when Ryan was still undergoing treatment.

Despite welcoming daughter Stella in January 2020, Mackenzie filed for divorce three years after that. Now, Ryan is betrothed to Amanda Conner, who is anticipating their first child.

Despite their tumultuous relationship concluding permanently in 2013, this former couple has effectively coparented their teenage daughter Leah ever since.

As a devoted admirer, I shared my enjoyable moments with them from afar, as I confided to TopMob News last January. Yet, the bond between us remains strong and healthy. It has evolved into something more profound; a familial connection that supersedes everything else.

It’s worth noting that families can have disagreements at times. More recently, Amber has been posting statements on social media that imply Gary and she may not be getting along as well post-breakup.

2017 marked the end of my seven-year emotional rollercoaster with Matt Baier, a man who had transplanted himself from Boston into my life. After a heartfelt proposal and a brief foray on “Marriage Boot Camp”, we decided to part ways. It’s been quite a ride!

On Dr. Drew Pinsky’s podcast, Amber explained that at some point, she simply grew tired of listening and began to no longer care in her relationship. She felt this was when things started going wrong for her and him. Essentially, she built a barrier to protect herself from potential pain by not caring as deeply about the relationship as she should have.

During her time filming ‘Marriage Boot Camp’, Amber discovered love with one of the crew members named Andrew Glennon. They first appeared together as a couple at the 2017 MTV Movie Awards, and in May 2018, they welcomed their first child, James, into the world.

In my role as a lifestyle advisor, I must share an unfortunate event: A few years back, a couple I had been closely following parted ways, not long after the woman was taken into custody for domestic battery charges in July 2019. Subsequent to a challenging legal dispute that spanned several years, our Californian native was granted sole legal and primary physical custody of their child, as per court rulings in 2022.

The Teen Mom celebrity expressed to TopMob News that they have put in a lot of effort to grow personally and strengthen their bonds with their children. They emphasized that, despite openly discussing their past substance abuse issues and mental health struggles, everyone deserves an opportunity to make amends and not be defined solely by their past troubles.

Persevering undeterred, she declared, “Even if your path hasn’t been smooth sailing, yet you’ve striven tirelessly to evolve into a stronger, steadier, and compassionate individual today, continue on this journey as I do. Rest assured, I’ll never cease in my struggle for the children I adore above all else.

Following my virtual encounter with Amber online, I, Dimitri Garcia, stepped onto the reality TV scene as a newcomer on “Teen Mom OG” in April 2020. As I shared during the show, I hail from Belgium and at 39 years old, I find myself a decade older than Amber. However, her description of me as a handsome man left no doubt about our connection. With time, we grew closer and decided to meet in person since our feelings for each other were mutual.

In April 2021, Amber openly shared on the Teen Mom OG reunion special that she was still in a relationship with Dimitri. She clarified, “We’ve been acquainted for about 18 months now, but I haven’t seen him for an entire year.” Despite not making any formal announcement of breaking up, Amber later introduced her new boyfriend, Gary Wayt, during a June 2024 episode of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter.

In autumn of 2023, after Amber matched with Gary 2.0 on a dating app, he became visible in the scene when she presented him to her fellow ‘Teen Mom’ friends during a virtual conversation, which was similar to a video call using Zoom.

Despite the engagement taking place in May 2024, their relationship didn’t last long. During his trip to North Carolina for Amber’s brother’s wedding in June, Gary left them after an argument, causing Amber to file a missing person report.

And while Gary was soon located, the duo’s engagment wasn’t the only thing left broken. 

Amber explained on ‘Teen Mom: The Next Chapter’, “For three to four days, I was tormented by believing my fiancé had passed away. I was forced to grapple with the grief and struggle to understand why such a thing could happen to me. I’m currently going through a difficult time.

She went on to say, “This man shattered me. Before him, I had always been steady. But for the first time in years, due to a man giving me a ring, I’m not feeling quite myself.

Several months had passed since Gary and his wife, Kristina Anderson, became parents to their daughter Emilee in April 2015. They later tied the knot in a charming beach wedding ceremony.

In a 2022 Instagram post, Gary expressed, “Your soul is exceptionally radiant and beautiful, one that I am fortunate to know.” He added, “I find it hard to imagine going through this journey without your presence.

Two months before the birth of Farrah Abraham’s daughter Sophia, which occurred in December 2008, Sophia’s father tragically passed away in an accident.

In a significant change from her previous romantic life following the demise of her high school sweetheart, Farrah had an intermittent relationship with Simon Saran, a real estate agent, that lasted more than two years.

Despite the bitter breakup in 2017 that turned out more like a legal battle, I’ve always held on to the hope they might somehow patch things up. Admittedly, it’s been a rocky road to friendship for them, but every now and then, there are glimmers of an attempt to keep the connection alive.

Simon stated to TopMob News that he holds no grudge against Farrah. They come from different backgrounds; she prefers a fabricated existence, while he values authenticity. He hopes for her prosperity and success in all of her future ventures.

Jenelle Evans and Andrew Lewis, who are Jace’s parents, parted ways shortly after his birth in 2009. Regrettably, Jenelle has had minimal involvement in her son’s life since then.

Jenelle pondered on an episode of Teen Mom 2 in 2019, saying, “I do have a sense of sadness that he’s Jace’s father, but I know his character, and I don’t want him to let my son down. I don’t want him to reappear and then vanish again.

In the year following her marriage to Courtland Rogers, and giving birth to her son Kaiser with former partner Nathan Griffin in 2014, Jenelle went on to marry David Eason at their North Carolina home in September 2017. This union took place eight months after the birth of their daughter Ensley.

Following a turbulent period, David faced misdemeanor charges for child abuse allegedly involving Jace. Jenelle compared this situation to a smear campaign against them. Later, she disclosed that they had parted ways. She mentioned on social media that due to North Carolina’s laws, she couldn’t immediately file for divorce because they first need to be legally separated for a year. Additionally, it’s necessary to demonstrate that each party resides at separate addresses.

Recall the captivating individual who once inquired from his girlfriend, Chelsea Houska, about when he could officially transfer ownership over what seemed to be a past error?

Completely in the rearview. 

Despite the long-standing history, the former Teen Mom star and current HGTV personality has a relatively peaceful bond with her high school ex, Adam Lind, who is Aubree’s father. As she shared with Us Weekly, “There’s no negative energy and it’s an extremely open relationship.” She added, “We don’t harbor bad feelings towards each other. We occasionally meet up, and everything goes smoothly.

In 2014, an unexpected encounter at a gas station blossomed into something lasting when Chelsea married Cole DeBoer in October 2016. Since then, they’ve added Watson to their family in 2017, followed by Layne and Walker in 2018 and 2021. The couple recently embarked on a new collaborative venture: Their HGTV series called “Down Home Fab”.

Speaking with TopMob News, Chelsea expressed her desire for their potential return to TV. She wanted it to be something enjoyable, uplifting, and where they could genuinely express themselves. As she said, “This was an amazing chance to showcase who we truly are.

Despite their efforts to transform their friendship into a lifelong union, Leah Messer and Corey Simms, who were high school sweethearts, ended up filing for divorce just six months following their October 2010 wedding. This separation affects their now-teenage twin daughters, Aleeah and Aliannah.

Corey has been married to Miranda Patterson since 2013.

In 2012, Leah got married to Jeremy Calvert. A year later, they were blessed with a daughter named Adalynn.

Despite parting ways in 2015, they have strived to coparent their daughter, with outcomes that aren’t always smooth. Leah shared her thoughts on TopMob News, saying, “I see a more fulfilled version of myself. It’s incredible to witness what they adore and engage in, and I feel privileged to be there for them and contribute to their lives. Being a mom, particularly a mom to girls, is enchanting. I cherish it.

As I embarked on my journey of going Instagram official with Jaylan Mobley in 2021, I must admit that this distinguished U.S. Army officer had managed to win not just me but also my children’s hearts prior to our public announcement.

The couple announced their engagement in August 2022, but broke up that October. 

A year after the breakup, the ‘Teen Mom’ star admitted candidly to TopMob News that she truly needed it. She shared that she has gleaned much wisdom from her past relationship and feels excited about the new chapter in her life, as if her journey was only just starting.

Kailyn Lowry had her first child, Isaac, with her high school sweetheart Jo Rivera when she was only 17 years old, back in the year 2010.

Though they separated a year ago, they have now established a harmonious coparenting relationship. In fact, Kailyn has teamed up with Jo’s wife, Vee Torres, on her canceled podcast titled “Baby Mamas No Drama”. Kailyn expressed this sentiment on social media after attending Jo and Vee’s 2018 wedding, stating, “We’ve made significant progress since we were 18. I couldn’t ask for a more wonderful stepmother for Isaac.

In November 2013, Kailyn’s second child, Lincoln, became part of the team. This was about a year after Kailyn, who was then a prominent figure on Teen Mom 2, got married to her son’s father, Javi Marroquin.

After parting ways in late 2016, their relationship has had its ups and downs, as Javi and his fiancée, Lauren Comeau (who are already parents to son Eli), declared in December 2023 that they were expecting another child together – a baby girl this time.

Kailyn had sons Lux and Creed with partner Chris Lopez while their relationship was off and on, but in the end, they decided to part ways permanently.

In 2020, she shared with TopMob News that we aren’t talking at the moment. She expressed her hope that things improve over time, but she doesn’t have a grand plan. She has nothing critical to say and just hopes for the best for our children, whatever the future may hold.

With her current partner Elijah Scott, Kailyn has found a solid base for her life. She explained to People that Elijah, who is Rio’s dad and the father of their twins Verse and Valley, is unlike any of her previous partners or her children’s other fathers. “Elijah works with concrete, he gets his hands dirty at work,” she said. “But he’s also a devoted family man. He has strong ties with his own family, as well as ours, making him an excellent partner for me. I feel like we make a great team.

A strong enough one that she finally said yes to one of his many proposals, in fact. 

In response to a query from TopMob News in September 2024, Kailyn clarified about her neighbor-turned-partner. She emphasized that he had proposed marriage on multiple occasions and she never said “no,” but instead, she responded with something along the lines of, “Yes, but not at this moment.

And while she admitted that the construction worker had definitely altered her views on marriage, she didn’t feel immediate urgency to purchase a white wedding dress. With a laugh, Kailyn remarked, “Whether or not we get married soon is entirely dependent on the day you happen to ask me.

Despite experiencing a rollercoaster of highs and lows since the birth of their child Kloie in 2017, Indiana residents Jade Cline and Sean Austin hinted to followers in January 2022 that things were looking up for them.

She shared with TopMob News that significant events impacted our lives, and there were substantial advancements in Sean’s life too, as well as his future. I am incredibly proud of him and where we are now. Eight months following this conversation, the duo announced their engagement, eventually getting married in October 2023.

In a conversation with TopMob News in 2024, Jade admitted that her relationship isn’t flawless all the time. However, she emphasized that despite its imperfections, they have a strong bond and manage to navigate through their challenges.

In the year 2021, Californian residents Ashley Jones and Bar Smith exchanged vows in a private ceremony. This was four years following the arrival of their daughter, Holly, into their family.

But after calling off their romance several times, Ashley officially filed for divorce in 2024. 

Following the birth of Nova in 2011, child from “16 and Pregnant” star Briana DeJesus and Devoin Austin II, there were signs that they might rekindle their relationship.

Currently, Briana shared with TopMob News in 2024, “Nowadays, what I’m seeking is a genuine, grown man, not the boys I’ve been accustomed to dating from my past.

Following her appearance on the one-season run of “Teen Mom 3”, Briana became a part of “Teen Mom 2” in its eighth season. During this period, she welcomes her second daughter, Stella, born to ex-boyfriend Luis Miguel, in July 2017.

After that point, Luis’ participation has been inconsistent at most. In a December 2019 episode of Teen Mom 2, Briana shared with Dr. Drew, “It seems like he wants a family with me, but since I’m not offering that, he just prefers to keep his distance entirely.
