In her years as one of the most beloved stars of Teen Mom 2, Kailyn Lowry has given fans plenty to talk about.
Of course, like any celebrity in the social media era, Kailyn has been forced to contend with half-truths and falsehoods being reported as factual developments in her life.
So we’ve decided to sift through the gossip about Kailyn and separate reality from fake news.
Check out the gallery below to learn the truth about 13 wild rumors surrounding the mother of three.
And as always, watch Teen Mom 2 online to relive the rocky road that helped make Kailyn the woman she is today.
Kailyn Is a Lesbian
Kailyn has spoken openly about her sexuality on numerous occasions. Thus, we know that while she’s had sexual encounters with women in the past, she does not self-identify as a lesbian.
Kailyn Cheated on Javi Marroquin While He Was Deployed Overseas
Kailyn admits that her marriage to Javi Marroquin was less than perfect. That said, she steadfastly maintains that she was never unfaithful.
Kailyn Slept With Javi’s Best Friend
This is a complicated one. Kailyn says she hooked up with a female friend who became close friends with Javi after their divorce. We believe her. We can’t imagine she’d bother to make up such a complex lie.
Kailyn and Jenelle Evans Hate Each Other
This one appears to be at least partially true. Jenelle didn’t make things any better by blasting the news of Kailyn’s third pregnancy without her consent.

False! While Kailyn is the only star of the Teen Mom franchise with a four-year degree, she’s graciously pointed out on several occasions that two of the other girls have two-year degrees.
Kailyn Has Butt Implants
Also untrue. While Kailyn underwent a “Brazilian butt lift” procedure in 2016, she does not have implants.

Mark this one as semi-true. While Jo Rivera has recorded multiple hip hop tracks, his career as a rapper never quite took off.

Sadly, it seems this one is accurate. Kailyn says she reached out to her mother after the birth of her third son, but the two of them have yet to reconcile.

According to Kailyn, this one is parially true. She once threatened to release a photo (not a video) of Javi “having sex with someone overseas.”

Until last week, this one was true. Kailyn didn’t decide on a name for little Lux Russell until he was nearly two months old.
Javi Is Dating Briana DeJesus
False! Both Teen Mom 2 co-stars have repeatedly insisted that they’re just friends.

No One Knows What Chris Lopez Looks Like
False … we think. Is this a photo of Lopez? Hey, Chris, if you’re reading this, drop us a line and let us know!
