Yet another dramatic chapter is unfolding in the lives of Kailyn Lowry, Javi Marroquin, and Lauren Comeau.
And this one has the potential to change everything.
When 16 and Pregnant debuted on MTV back in 2009, there were concerns that the show would glamorize teen pregnancy in the eyes of its younger viewers.
That turned out not to be the case, as teen pregnancy rates have actually declined in the years since the shows of the Teen Mom franchise became surprise hits.
If you've been watching the most recent season of Teen Mom 2, then you know that the show has been a bit lacking in the drama department.
Storylines about Kailyn Lowry picking out the right tile for her bathroom are nice and all -- but they're not what made this series a success.
Leah Messer has been through a whole lot in her young life.
As Leah's memoir recently reminded fans, she's survived addiction, two divorces, some brutal custody hearings, and of course, the pressures of fame.
We think most Teen Mom 2 viewers would agree that this season has not been the most dramatic in the show's history.
In fact, it was downright boring at times.
Teen Mom 2 is about to undergo a massive shake-up behind the scenes.
But will it be enough to save the long-time program from cancelation?
Leah Messer has experienced many ups and downs over the years, but unlike some of her more notorious Teen Mom co-stars, she was eventually able to conquer her demons.
In 2020, Leah published a memoir in which she revealed surprising new details about her painful past.
Teen Mom 2 fans were shocked when Briana DeJesus got engaged to Javi Gonzalez back in May.
The Florida residents had only been dating a few months, and their relationship seemed to have been loaded with drama, so it came as a surprise when Briana said yes.
Over the course of the past year, Leah Messer has been widely praised for her honesty.
The Teen Mom 2 star has spoken candidly about a number of difficult topics, including her abusive childhood and her struggles with substance abuse.
Disgraced former Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans accused Deavan Clegg of being a pill-stealing addict.
While anyone would be offended at that, 90 Day Fiance fans know how personal of an insult that is for Deavan.
There was a time -- not all that long ago, in fact -- when it looked as though the feud between Kailyn Lowry and Briana DeJesus had finally come to an end.
It wasn't that the women took any steps toward burying the hatchet; it was just that they finally learned to steer clear of one another,
It's no surprise to Teen Mom 2 viewers to see Kailyn Lowry clashing with Briana DeJesus.
When you're in a feud, you want ammunition ... and Briana has found hers.
As a whole, the Teen Mom franchise is struggling, and Teen Mom 2 recently got its lowest-ever ratings.
There are a lot of factors involved, and some of them are beyond anyone's control.
Teen Mom fans are very familiar with Leah Messer and her baby daddies.
Ex-husband Corey Simms is the father of Ali and Alleeah, Leah's twins.
It's only been three weeks since Briana DeJesus and Javi Gonzalez got engaged.
But it seems that what should be one of the happiest times in Bri's life has instead been loaded with drama and strife.
You know what they say about desperate times, don't you?
MTV executives may be keeping this saying in mind at the moment, especially as they glance at the information that continues to come in about the latest season of Teen Mom 2.
When Teen Mom 2 fans learned that Kailyn Lowry would be having a second child by Chris Lopez, many of them were quick to express their shock and chagrin.
After all, Kail had been critical of Chris' parenting -- or lack thereof -- pretty much from the moment their first child, Lux, entered the world.
Briana DeJesus isn't the angriest of all the Teen Moms.
That title belongs the Carolina Hurricane herself, Jenelle Evans.
Briana DeJesus would like everyone to know that her beef with Kailyn Lowry is alive and well.
As viewers of Teen Mom 2 know well, these colleagues have been going at it for years, ever since DeJesus started hooking up with Lowry's ex-husband, Javi Marroquin.
Teen Mom 2 fans know that there has been no shortage of drama between Kailyn Lowry and Chris Lopez.
Her two-time baby daddy is also serving up twice the drama, and Kail is giving as good as she gets.
90 Day Fiance have followed many stories with fascination.
Jihoon and his attorney's bitter saga. Deavan's feud with Jenelle Evans of Teen Mom 2 infamy. Andrew Kenton's quirks.
Teen Mom 2 fans are certainly not shy when it comes to speculating about Kailyn Lowry's personal life.
That is one of several reasons that she opens up to her followers. She wants to clear the air.
