Chris Lopez, the father of Teen Mom 2 star Kailyn Lowry’s youngest sons, has notably not wanted to appear on camera. Therefore, viewers are more privy to her side of the story regarding their on-again-off-again relationship. After signing a contract to continue appearing on the show, a fan wondered if he would “consider” filming a special in the future.
In response to an Instagram prompt by Chris Lopez, who fathers two children with Teen Mom 2 star Kailyn Lowry, for questions, a fan asked if he would film a special with the franchise to give the audience a glance into his life.
Lopez, 27, answered he would “consider doing something” if presumably money and the other fathers featured in the show are involved.
“They deserve love out here, too,” he added.
The Delaware native has frequently vocalized his unwillingness to film on camera since he and Lowry welcomed their first child.
After previously insisting the cameras could no longer film him, Lopez agreed to continue appearing on the MTV reality show in August 2021, a month following the Teen Mom 2 Season 10 finale.
Since the beginning of their relationship in 2017, he hasn’t wanted to appear and notoriously swore at the cameras in a 2021 episode.
The Ashley’s Roundup reported he signed for $2,000 an episode and that his ex wasn’t happy to find out about the news. According to the publication, a source informed it that Lowry didn’t want him “cashing” in on her opportunity.
However, the Teen Mom 2 regular took to her Instagram story to denounce the rumors and insisted she didn’t know about the contract.
Teen Mom Kailyn Lowry claimed that her ex Chris Lopez and Javi Marroquin's other baby mama Lauren Comeau called her a "fat f**k" and "piece of s**t."
The MTV star has been publicly feuding with both Chris and Lauren over the past several years.
Kailyn, 29, took to her Instagram Stories to accuse both Chris and Lauren of calling her names.
The Teen Mom 2 star gave the camera a serious look while in the car on Tuesday, captioning her shot: "Shout out to Chris & Lauren for calling me a fat f**k, fat POS and told me to get running."
"See ya'll soon," she finished, with a kissy face emoji.
Busta Loper reacted to a scene from the MTV show and told Tyler’s mom Kimberly that she is “the problem.”
On Sunday, a Teen Mom fan account shared a clip from the show of Tyler’s wife Catelynn Lowell being criticized by his parents for wearing a Black Lives Matter shirt.
When she was asked if she was really wearing the shirt, Catelynn, 29, responded: “Yes I am because I support the Black Lives Matter movement.”
Later in the episode, Catelynn told Tyler, 29, about the backlash she received for wearing the shirt.
When a producer asked if anyone in his family shares the couple’s more liberal political views, Tyler responded: “We’re one side in this war.”
A number of MTV fans rushed to the comments section to praise Catelynn and Tyler for how they handled the situation, as Tyler’s mother has been outspoken about not supporting the movement.
Busta also took to the comments section to praise Tyler, writing: “I commend this young man!!! Very few words but effective few words spoken loudly!! I find it funny how MTV downplayed this but let my son or others of color say something out of pocket & it's a whole different narrative!!! Some of these comments are very disappointing!! & I can't wait to meet Ty's people's (father). All we can do is pray for people like this!! For those that still say or think that ‘ALL LIVES MATTER’ I say this... Yes all lives do matter but until ‘BLACK LIVES MATTER’ there's no way that ‘ALL LIVES CAN MATTER!!!!’ For those that don't agree it's ok u have that right but understand U ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM!!!!”
Busta concluded: “Once again Ty I commend u & thank u & your wife for your support!!!!!!!!
“Thanks for allowing me to voice my opinion admin. Everybody have a blessed day!!!! ❤️”
Kailyn Lowry said she wasn’t filming more episodes of “Teen Mom 2” after her ex-boyfriend, Chris Lopez, signed a deal with MTV to appear on the reality show. Despite having two sons together, Lopez made his first appearance on “Teen Mom 2” during season 10B.
The rumor bubbled during an Instagram Q&A after a fan asked, “Are you filming new episodes for TM2?” She answered: “I am not.” Screenshots of the interaction were captured by The Sun.
If Lowry did decide to walk away, there were some fans who were on her side. “I dont blame her. The last episode I watched all he did was refer to their boys as ‘her sons/your son’ in aggressive tones and their drop-off was like he was throwing the baby back saying ‘he’s your problem now. Bye,'” they wrote, referring to Lopez. “He is so disrespectful on camera to her during the drop-off.”
Heavy reached out to Lowry for comment but didn’t immediately hear back.
Lowry, 29, said she was unbothered about Lopez agreeing to appear on “Teen Mom 2” with her, but she was displeased with MTV for not talking to her about the decision.
“I don’t give one single f*** what Chris does,” she wrote, according to screenshots shared to Reddit. “I care about how it was handled/how I found out and the lack of respect people have for me after 12 years of doing this show.”
Behind the scenes, however, sources painted a different picture.
“Kail was not happy that Chris is going to be cashing in on an opportunity created by her,” an insider told The Ashley’s Reality Roundup.
Kail Lowry and Chris Lopez are once again taking turns venting about one another on social media, after Chris criticized Kail on his most-recent podcast episode for making co-parenting hard. Naturally, this didn’t go over well with the Teen Mom 2 star, who took to Instagram to rant about Chris and his lack of parental involvement.
During Tuesday’s episode of Chris’ P.T.S.D podcast, Chris spoke about the situation with “his kids’ mother” multiple times, including their decision to host separate birthday parties for their two sons, Creed and Lux, and stories that get twisted in the media due to Kail being “very calculated.”
Kail, in turn, hit Instagram Stories this week, going on a rant about Chris being more of a “part-time babysitter” to their two son than a dad.
She went on to praise her other baby daddies– Jo Rivera and Javi Marroquin– fathers of Isaac and Lincoln, respectively– for contributing their time and money to their sons.
Chris, who said he now speaks to a therapist twice a week, called the co-parenting situation between himself and Kail “frustrating as hell.” He also complained about the court system and questioned why he is not allowed more time with his sons, despite having “always wanted 50-50 [custody] of the kids.”
Kail responded to her ex’s remarks in a series of videos posted to Instagram (which were reposted by the TeenMomShadeRoom_ Instagram account).
While Kail didn’t specifically state that she was addressing Chris in her rant, it was clear that her words were meant for Baby Daddy #3.
“ … I just wanted to say that the bar is set really low for men as fathers and it’s really annoying and tired and I’m over being called a bitter baby mom or I’m this, or I’m that, or I’m trying to keep my sons away from their dad,” she said.
“When you don’t contribute financially in terms of school and doctors appointments and you have no idea what the school schedule is, you don’t know when doctors appointments are and when I’m telling you to your face when a doctor appointment is and you don’t show up and you literally text me saying that I didn’t write it down for you, that’s a problem. So, am I bitter or am I doing what I have to do for my children? You guys decide.”
In another clip, Kail said Jo and Javi “have 50 percent of their kids because they are present 50 percent of the time, if not more, and they contribute 50 percent of the time financially.”
“They walk the walk and they talk the talk,” Kail added. “I might not have liked it at first, but I was able to finally give up that 50 percent [custody] because they were doing what they were saying they were going to do. They were present–- financially and physically–- and they contribute.
“If I’m not giving you the 50 percent or the courts aren’t giving you the 50 percent, there’s a reason why,” she continued. “I’m honestly just sick of the, ‘Kail is always the problem.’ I’m sick of it. I’m tired of it.”
She also called her ex a “part-time babysitter” in the rant.
Despite Chris telling podcast listeners this week that he’d no longer “speak on the drama” that is his and Kail’s chaotic co-parenting, the father of two took to Instagram Friday to let everyone know he heard Kail’s rant.
“If I’m going to be honest with y’all man, if I was to speak on the drama that went on today, I’d be contradicting myself,” Chris said. “If you listen to my last podcast, I said it. I’m not going to keep engaging in this s**t. I already know how it turns out, I’m not gonna do that.
“I’m done, so I’m not speaking on that s**t no more, man,” he continued. “I said what I think, that’s cool. I take whatever was said, I take that s**t on the chin, it is what it is. I’m not gonna argue it. But I came on here to just composite s**t with y’all. I hate getting on the internet and social media sometimes and seeing that s**t, I ain’t gonna lie.”
Chris added that engaging in the conflict “just look dumb” and does nothing but drive a wedge between himself and Kail.
Oh, and just for fun: here’s Kail’s ’Teen Mom 2’ co-star Briana DeJesus’ two-cents on the matter. (Because we all know how much Kail values her good pal Briana’s opinion!)
When asked how she felt about someone commenting on fake dads, despite that same ‘someone’ previously backing her baby daddy Devoin Austin, Briana provided the following (quite lengthy) response:
“I realized there’s no such thing as a fake dad,” Briana wrote. “But what there is-is that there’s something called parenting different. I learned that u can’t always have it ur way and the other parent will do what they wanna do when they wanna do it and how they wanna do it. As doing u and being the parent u want to be for ur kids, the rest is history!”
Briana added that she doesn’t care “who supports who.”
