Teen Mom 2 alum Kailyn Lowry has seemingly confirmed that she and her baby daddy number four, Elijah Scott, have split. This confirmation comes three months after the couple denied speculations of a breakup and nearly a year since the announcement of their engagement.

In the Give Them Lala podcast with Lala Kent, Kailyn Lowry confirmed that she and Elijah had called off their engagement.

“I get a lot of sh*t for leaving my kids’ dads. I left all of them,” the thirty-three-year-old mother of seven said.

While she didn't reveal the cause of their breakup, Lowry revealed that just like all her past relationships, she and Elijah moved too fast, skipping the dating part to having kids.

“There's not a whole lot of dating before I get pregnant, usually really. So it's kind of like we've seen each other a couple times and now we are stuck together forever.”
“That's pretty much how it works with Elijah,” she added.

In the podcast, Kailyn Lowry defended herself, claiming she did not sleep around contrary to popular beliefs.

“Contrary to popular belief, I actually can count on both my hands how many people I've slept with. They think that because I have kids with four men that I just, I'm out there gallivanting around like not true at all. Like I just fall in love so fast.

When asked by the host if she is ready to start dating, Kailyn replied: “Absolutely not.”


More details on Kailyn Lowry’s seven children

Kailyn Lowry is a mother of seven children: six boys, including Isaac Elliot, Lincoln Marshall, Lux Russell, Creed Romello, Rio, and Verse, and one girl, Valley, a twin to Verse.

“Every child is so different, and every experience is so different. I definitely would not consider myself an expert, but I’ve been around the block a couple of times with kids,” she said in an interview with People magazine.

In 2010, when Lowey was 17 years old and still in high school, she welcomed her first child, Isaac, with her high school sweetheart, Jo Rivera.

“We have literally grown up together, but in some ways, he’s even more grown than I am. Thoughtful, brilliant, funny and at times a smartass are a few words I would use to describe Isaac,” she said, describing her first child.

Lincoln is Lowry’s second child, born in 2013 during her marriage to ex-husband Javi Marroquin. Lowry welcomed her third child, Lux, in 2017 with her on-and-off-again ex-boyfriend, Chris Lopez. In 2020, she also had her fourth child, Creed, with Lopez. In 2022, Lowry and Elijah welcomed their first child together, Rio, her fifth child overall.
