Chris Lopez

Another day, another bit of really pointless and exhausting but somehow still amusing Teen Mom drama.

That's how that saying goes, right?

Kailyn Lowry has been insistent for weeks now, telling anyone who will listen that Chris Lopez is her fourth son's father.

The Teen Mom 2 star is even willing to take a DNA test in order to prove paternity.

We probably don't need to tell you that people on social media tend to fixate on certain theories and ideas long after it's been established that they have no basis in reality.

It's a sad fact of online life that Kailyn Lowry is very well acquainted with.

When Kailyn Lowry welcomed her fourth child earlier this month, the news received something of a mixed reaction from Teen Mom 2 fans.

Yes, the arrival of a new child is always a joyous occasion.

Earlier this month, Kailyn Lowry welcomed her fourth child.

Even more controversial than Kail's decision to expand her family despite the fact that she frequently seems stressed to the breaking point was her decision to do so with Chris Lopez.

It's been just over two weeks since Kailyn Lowry welcomed her fourth child, and the rumors about the changes in the relationship between baby Creed's parents are already spreading like wildfire.

This is partially due to the fact that, after months of insisting that Chris Lopez would not be allowed in the delivery room, Kail folded and revealed that the professional baby daddy would be on hand to welcome his newest offspring.

As you very likely know by now, Kailyn Lowry has named her fourth child Creed.

But while everyone has been focused of late on this unusual first name, the Teen Mom 2 star opened up on her Thursday podcast about this son's last name.

If you've ever been pregnant, then you know how exhausting it can be.

And if you've ever been a Teen Mom fan, then you know how exhausting it can be watching someone else's pregnancy.

You know what's hard to believe?

That Kailyn Lowry and Chris Lopez ever got along well enough to conceive two children together.

Everything about Kailyn Lowry's fourth pregnancy has been surprising.

The fact that it happened at all took many fans by surprise, and the news that Lowry was pregnant by Chris Lopez really caught the public off-guard.

Though we don't know her exact due date, Kailyn Lowry will likely give birth to her fourth child before the end of July.

Obviously that's joyous news -- but it's somewhat complicated by the identity of the baby's father.

Ever since word got out that Kailyn Lowry is pregnant with her fourth child and Chris Lopez is the father, Teen Mom fans have been paying particularly close attention to the relationship between Lux's parents.

And since Kail is due to deliver by the end of this month, the scrutiny is closer than ever these days.

Earlier this week, the never-ending Kailyn Lowry-Briana DeJesus feud took a turn for the worse.

This time around, Kail was the instigator, but Briana certainly didn't shy away from the confilct.
