‘Teen Mom 2’ Star Kailyn Lowry’s Dating History: From Jo Rivera to Chris Lopez

Teen Mom 2 viewers have been following Kailyn Lowry’s love life for nearly a decade on MTV. The Pennsylvania native rose to fame on a 2010 episode of 16 & Pregnant. During the episode, Lowry and her high school boyfriend, Jo Rivera, welcomed son Isaac, who was born in January 2010. Their relationship didn’t last, however, with Lowry moving on with Jordan Wenner when Isaac was still a baby. She later revealed in her 2014 book that she cheated on Wenner with Rivera. “For the first time since I found out I was pregnant, we were getting along smoothly. Because we had never learned how to be friends, we fell back into old habits and I cheated on Jordan with Jo,” she wrote in Pride Over Pity. “Even though I was deeply in love with Jordan, I selfishly wanted Jo to remain single. I had typical girl syndrome: I didn’t want Jo, but I also didn’t want anyone else to be with him. One night, after he dropped Isaac off, we slept together.” Following her splits from Rivera and Wenner, Lowry started seeing Javi Marroquin. The twosome, who wed in 2012, are the parents of son Lincoln. Lowry and Marroquin, who appeared on Marriage Boot Camp, called it quits after three years of marriage in May 2016. [jwplayer LmBhXCGJ-l3ahXupL] The “Coffee Convos” podcast host moved on from her ex-husband with her University of Delaware classmate Chris Lopez in 2016. They welcomed son Lux in August 2017. “Chris is a huge part of my life and is not interested in being on the show,” Lowry told Us Weekly in January 2019. “I think he kind of feels like it’s my thing. He’s kind of watched Jo, Javi and other people take advantage of me being on the show and the platform that it brings them. And I think that he doesn’t want to be that person.” While their relationship has been on-again, off-again from the beginning, Lowry announced she is pregnant with baby No. 4 in February 2020. Us later confirmed Lopez is the father of the child. “We’re confirming the news, baby #4 is coming soon! 🎉” she wrote. “I’m almost 16 weeks pregnant & it’s been a rough few months this time around. I've had nausea, morning sickness, and absolutely no energy. 😭 This week I’m starting to feel a bit better and I'm really hoping it stays this way!” Scroll through for a timeline of Lowry’s dating history:

Jo Rivera

Lowry and Rivera started seeing each other in high school in 2008. The pair welcomed son Issac in January 2010. Fans saw their messy breakup and custody drama over their son play out in court during the early seasons of Teen Mom 2.

The twosome eventually got on good terms, however, with Lowry even attending Rivera’s September 2018 nuptials to Vee Torres.

Jordan Wenner

Shortly after Lowry split from Rivera, she started dating her Sport Authority coworker — when she was still living with Rivera’s parents. Lowry detailed her 2011 breakup from Wenner in her 2014 memoir, Pride Over Pity.

“After such a solid year together, I was disappointed that Jordan had become so caught up in the attention that the show had brought him. I don’t think he had any real intention of going through with this move, but at the time I couldn’t help but leap to conclusions. I really loved him so the betrayal stung,” she wrote.

She also admitted to cheating on Wenner with Rivera in the book. “Cheating never leads to a happy ending. It certainly didn’t for us. Cheating on someone is a heavy burden, worse than any other mistake you can make in a relationship. Cheating is cold, selfish, and heartless. I had committed a cardinal sin in my book. You’d be surprised sometimes what you’re capable of,” she wrote.

Javi Marroquin

Lowry met Marroquin while she was working at a mall in late 2011. After they were photographed kissing that December, the reality star confirmed their relationship in January 2012. Eight months later, the duo secretly tied the knot at a Pennsylvania courthouse. She announced their engagement shortly after the private ceremony, and fans learned the truth that November. Lowry and Marroquin wed again in front of MTV cameras in September 2013 when she was pregnant with son Lincoln, who was born that November.

Speculation that the pair were on the rocks first surfaced in late 2015 while Marroquin, who served in the Air Force, was deployed in Qatar. Lowry filed for divorce after three years of marriage in May 2016.

“Our first priority is Lincoln’s happiness and Isaac’s happiness. Our second is for them to see both of their parents happy, and together we’re both not happy,” he told Us at the time. “I think we both decided that this is the best move and she’ll be happy and I’ll be happy.”

Lowry revealed in June 2018 that the twosome “talked about getting back together” after they hooked up post-split, but opted not to.

“We both knew we didn’t want to & it would never work. I regret even having those conversations,” she tweeted at the time. “I regret filming about it. And hooking up w/ him as I know people from the reunion leaked that.”

Chris Lopez

While Lopez rarely appears on the MTV series, Lowry started quietly seeing him in 2016. The twosome welcomed their first child together, Lux, in August 2017. While their relationship quickly became on-again, off-again, the reality TV personality told Us in January 2019 that the duo are always in each other’s lives.  

“I mean, Chris and I are always together even when we’re not together. If that makes any sense. Don’t be surprised if you see a wedding in the tabloids the next month!” she quipped at the time.

In February 2020, Us confirmed that the duo are expecting their second child together.

Dominique Potter

During a break from Lopez, Lowry’s relationship with her friend turned romantic in 2017.

“We were friends for a year and so it kind of just turned into [a romantic relationship],” Lowry told her podcast cohost, Lindsie Chrisley, in November 2017. “So, it’s not like she was trying to wine and dine me to ask me to be her girlfriend, you know what I mean? It more or less just happened.”

The following year, Lowry told Us that she regrets bringing Potter on the MTV series.

“I feel bad about the way I went about the situation with Dom. She’s so sweet but I really just didn’t know how to handle it all,” Lowry told Us in June 2018. “I didn’t want it on TV, and I guess I really didn’t value how seriously she took us. So in turn, she feels embarrassed and betrayed. That’s my fault.”
