Teen Mom 2 fans have followed Javi Marroquin’s journey on MTV for five years, but according to the reality star, they may miss out on a key part of his life. Marroquin recently revealed that his pregnant girlfriend, Lauren Comeau, will not appear on the hit series.
Marroquin first appeared on Teen Mom 2 during a season 3 episode that aired in January 2013. His wedding to series star Kailyn Lowry, with whom he shares 4-year-old son Lincoln, aired on the show. While they called it quits in 2016 after nearly three years of marriage, Marroquin has continued to document his life on the series, including his season 8 relationship and subsequent breakup with fellow cast member Briana DeJesus.
“When we realized there was a possibility of having a baby, we decided to take the pregnancy test while together. I was excited at first, then got a little bit of cold feet,” Marroquin exclusively told IPRESSTV at the time. “Like, I can’t believe this is happening. Lincoln is almost 5, so so many emotions going through my head.”
The pair recently hosted a gender reveal party and announced they are expecting a baby boy. Marroquin told Radar that Lowry “did not congratulate [the couple] on the baby’s gender.”
The Hustle and Heart author did, however, send kind words after her ex’s baby news broke, telling IPRESSTV exclusively at the time that she wishes Marroquin and Comeau “the best.” Marroquin, meanwhile, admitted to IPRESSTV he was “nervous” to tell his former spouse about the pregnancy.
Teen Mom 2 airs on MTV Mondays at 9 p.m. ET.
