| Jenelle (Evans) Eason[2]
(previously Rogers) |
Oak Island, North Carolina[2]
[3] |
Jenelle continues to reconcile the responsibilities of motherhood
with her love of partying. With her son Jace's father out of the
picture, Jenelle relies heavily on her mother Barbara. The two have an
explosive relationship, which is amplified by the fact that Barbara has
temporary custody of Jace. Through it all, Jenelle struggles to prove
herself as a mom and responsible adult, but her party girl ways keep
leading her down the wrong path. When Jenelle and Kieffer get arrested,
she must choose between changing her ways or continuing on a downward
spiral that could quickly hit rock bottom. As of June 2016, Barbara
continues to have custody of Jace. Mother and daughter have long been
fighting over custody of the little boy, as documented on Teen Mom 2.[4]
On December 4, 2012 Jenelle married Courtland Rogers. The couple got
engaged in November 2012 and were expecting her second child. Jenelle
stated that she missed a few days of taking her birth control pills and was notified of the pregnancy while at a doctor's appointment.[5] It was announced on January 25, 2013 that she and Courtland had split and that she had suffered a miscarriage.[6] It was later revealed in the fifth season that Jenelle chose to abort her pregnancy and divorced Courtland after a short marriage.[7][8] In June 2013, Jenelle started dating Nathan Griffith, a former model she met on Tinder. Within months of dating they moved in together and she became pregnant with their first child. Nathan has a daughter named Emery from a previous relationship.[9] On June 29, 2014 she gave birth to her second child, son Kaiser Orion Griffith.[10] In January 2015 Jenelle and Nathan got engaged, but they broke off the engagement that August. After their breakup, the former couple became engaged in a custody battle over Kaiser.[11] In January 2017, Jenelle and Nathan reached a joint custody agreement in court: Nathan would have Kaiser on the first weekend and the last two weekends of every month (Thursday-Sunday).[12] In September 2015 Jenelle started dating David Eason, a pipewelder she met on Tinder and they quickly moved in together. David has two children from previous relationships: daughter Maryssa Rose and son Kaden David.[13] David does not have custody of Kaden, as his ex (the child's mother) was granted a no-contact order against him following allegations of domestic violence. Jenelle gave birth to their first child together, daughter Ensley Jolie Eason, on January 24, 2017.[14] In February 2017, Jenelle announced on Instagram that she and David are engaged.[15] The couple got married on September 23, 2017. |
| Chelsea DeBoer
(née Houska) |
Sioux Falls, South Dakota[2][16] | Since giving birth to Aubree, Chelsea’s life has been consumed with
taking care of her daughter and trying to make her tumultuous
relationship with Aubree’s father, Adam, succeed. She obtained her GED
after years of working towards it and has begun attending beauty school.
As her emotional tug-of-war with Adam escalates, she finally gets the
strength to call it quits, trying to move forward and focus on what’s
best for her and her daughter. Her friends and family just hope she can
stay away from Adam for good this time.
During the sixth season, Chelsea was in a bitter custody battle with
Adam over Aubree. He wanted joint custody and even filed for it, while
Chelsea wanted to keep the current custody arrangement. In March 2015,
the court ruled that Chelsea will retain full custody of Aubree. Adam
will still be able to see her, but his parents will continue to
supervise his visits; they were due back in court in six months for the
judge to re-evaluate the case.[17]
As of February 2016, Adam is no longer seeking joint custody of Aubree,
as he hasn't done anything for a year to get more time with her. In late 2014, Chelsea met a new guy named Cole DeBoer. The two hit it off and dated for nearly a year. Chelsea introduced Cole in the season six premiere of Teen Mom 2 and eventually, they moved in together. The couple became engaged on November 17, 2015 and married on October 1, 2016.[18][19] On January 25, 2017, Chelsea and Cole welcomed their first child, a son named Watson Cole DeBoer.[20] |

child, and Kailyn moved out amidst their constant fighting. A romance
with coworker Jordan begins to get more serious as she turns to him for
emotional support during a bitter custody battle with Jo. Through it
all, Kailyn is determined to better her situation for her son while
navigating her complicated relationship with Jo and struggling to
finally move out on her own. She also has to deal with custody issues
when her ex-boyfriend starts seeing a new girl and is accused of getting
drunk when he is supposed to be watching Isaac. Since then, Kailyn and
Jo have made amends, as they are getting along for Isaac's sake.
During the fourth season of Teen Mom 2, she developed a

On December 5, 2016, it was announced that the couple's divorce has been finalized, with Kailyn and Javi being granted 50/50 custody of Lincoln. As of May 2017, Kailyn and Javi's relationship has been getting better, with them being able to co-parent Lincoln. Javi plans to continue to be in Isaac's life, as he has stated on several occasions that he thinks of his former stepson as his own.

Leah sacrificed everything her senior year in order to graduate, take
care of her girls, and try to make things work with their father, her
ex-husband Corey Simms. However, because Leah cheated on him with her
ex-boyfriend, the two broke up and had a turbulent relationship. Leah is
a country girl who wears her heart on her sleeve and when she discovers
that Ali is developing at a slower rate than her sister, she reaches
out to Corey. Leah and Corey eventually learn that Ali suffers from
Titin muscular dystrophy, a very rare form of the disorder that has only ever been found in adults.
In October 2015, it was reported that Leah lost primary custody of
the twins to Corey. This was due to the girls being repeatedly late for
school, as claimed by her ex-husband. She could only see their daughters
on the weekends. Four months later, in February 2016, Leah and Corey
reached a custody agreement without a judge, ending their long custody
battle. They now share custody of Ali and Aleeah, and are on good terms
