Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra have been through a lot together.

More than any young couple should, that’s for sure.

They started dating when they were just 12 years old, and together they dealt with some pretty bad home lives — both had a parent that struggled heavily with addiction.

And when they were 16, Catelynn got pregnant with a daughter that they ultimately decided to place for adoption, a selfless decision that their parents strongly disagreed with.

After the adoption, their relationship suffered a bit, with Tyler even admitting that he wasn’t sure he wanted to stay with her.

But then she got pregnant again, and in 2015 she gave birth to Nova. Months later, she and Tyler got married.

Happy endings, right?

Not so much.

Catelynn suffered from what seemed like some pretty severe postpartum depression, and although she left to spend a few weeks at a treatment center, it didn’t seem to help much.

They just sort of floated along until 2017, when she got pregnant again, then had a miscarriage.

She began experiencing suicidal thoughts, and left again for the same treatment center.

After spending six weeks there, she came home for a few weeks before turning around and going back to treatment once again for another six weeks.

And as we saw on Teen Mom OG, it really took a toll on their marriage.

Tyler seemed completely checked out from the stress of taking care of everything while she was gone for so long, and we heard him complain about Cate several times to family and friends.

But in the midst of all this, she got pregnant again, something that he insisted didn’t happen on purpose.

Still, he was so frustrated with his marriage that he asked Catelynn for a separation.

All of this happened a while ago, and things seem to be much better now.

And as we saw in the trailer for the upcoming season of Teen Mom OG, they really are feeling a lot better about their marriage these days.

So much that they renewed their vows in Hawaii last fall!

We didn’t know about the vow renewal until the trailer dropped, so it was a nice surprise, and in this new interview with Us Weekly, Catelynn is explaining more about what happened and where they are now as a couple.

About the Hawaii trip, she said "I actually planned the vow renewal so Tyler had no clue."

"I decided to do it because of the year we had prior. It was like a new beginning and recommitting. We are stronger now."

She added that "Whenever you go through things as a couple and come out on the other side, you are always stronger!"

During the Hawaii trip, she said "It was just him and I — and a TV crew. It was very small and intimate."

"We are in a really great place," she said about her marriage.

She also explained that they’ve managed to stick things out with "honesty, communication, commitment and working through the bumps."

"We are going on 14 years together and we plan on a lifetime," she said.

It’s great to hear that they’re doing so well, and we hope they only continue to grow together as a couple.

We’re sure Teen Mom viewers can agree that we simply cannot take anymore bad times between Catelynn and Tyler.
