'Teen Mom 2' Alums Kailyn Lowry and Javi Marroquin's Ups and Downs Through the Years: Cheating Allegations, Briana DeJesus Drama, More

The Teen Mom 2 cameras may have stopped filming, but the drama between Kailyn Lowry and ex-husband Javi Marroquin is never-ending. Fans have long watched the former couple — who were married from 2012 to 2016 and share son Lincoln, whom they welcomed in 2013 — as they’ve feuded on TV, social media and in real life. The twosome always had a rocky relationship, which culminated in Lowry pushing Marroquin on an episode of the MTV series. It was a harrowing moment that the Pennsylvania native reflected on during a 2021 episode of her “Coffee Convos” podcast, calling the incident a mistake she’ll “regret for the rest of [her] life.” Toward the end of their romance the U.S. Air Force recruiter admittedly blamed his then-wife for having a miscarriage, which he apologized for in a 2016 episode of the series. “I knew it was no one's fault. It wasn't your fault, and it wasn't my fault. I needed to blame somebody, and I was taking it out on you. I'm sorry for being mean to you when it all happened,” Marroquin told Lowry at the time. “In my head, I'm thinking, 'She shouldn't have went to the gym, she shouldn't have gone to jiu jitsu,' or stuff like that. Even though I know it had nothing to do with that.” When it came time to call it quits, a source exclusively told Us Weekly, “Kail knew divorce was inevitable. There was always a disconnect.” The insider added: “The bottom line is they were two strong personalities who both want to be in control living together. They clashed.” [jwplayer 2BYniRZC-zhNYySv2] Lowry and Marroquin continued to have periods of drama — and even flirtatious moments — in the years since their divorce. During his brief relationship with Lowry’s Teen Mom 2 costar Briana DeJesus, the former couple were on the outs — until the pair’s 2018 split, which led to the serviceman appearing on Lowry’s “Coffee Convos” podcast in to spill the tea on his relationship with the Florida native. Despite their reconciliation at the time, the former spouses would only go on to feud again after Lowry revealed in an October 2020 episode of Teen Mom 2 that her ex attempted to hook up with her in the parking lot of a Wawa — while he was still in a relationship with Lauren Comeau, with whom he welcomed son Eli in November 2018. (Lowry, for her part, is also mom of son Isaac, born in 2010, whom she shares with ex Jo Rivera, and sons Lux and Creed, born 2017 and 2020, respectively, whom she shares with ex Chris Lopez.) Several months after Lowry’s claim, Comeau — who got engaged to Marroquin in June 2019 — accused her then-fiancé of cheating on her in since-deleted posts she shared in January 2021. After Marroquin and Comeau called it quits, they ultimately got back together in 2022. Their love triangle with Lowry, however, only continued to make headlines the following year after the Pride Over Pity author accused Marroquin of giving her the cold shoulder whenever he has been in a relationship with Comeau. “IN MY OPINION he is not completely transparent with her about everything between me and him so he keeps us divided,” Lowry wrote via Instagram comments in February 2023 after claiming that Marroquin refused to take a photo with her and Lincoln and their son’s flag football match. “He will never own that,” she added.

2011 to 2012

A whirlwind courtship. Lowry and Marroquin first met at the mall in 2011 where the Hustle & Heart author was working at the time. The pair tied the knot in September 2012 after Marroquin joined the U.S. Air Force.

September 2013

The pair held a second, larger wedding at Camden’s Adventure Aquarium in New Jersey. The Teen Mom 2 cameras were there to capture the emotional event, which featured Lowry’s son Isaac — then 4 — dancing with her at the ceremony. She was pregnant with son Lincoln at the time.

2013 to 2016

Lowry and Marroquin’s tumultuous marriage played out on Teen Mom 2 for multiple seasons. The Pennsylvania native aggressively pushed her then-husband on an episode of the series that aired in March 2013, later recalling the incident on a 2021 episode of “Coffee Convos” as a moment she’ll “regret for the rest of [her] life."

Tensions only grew between the couple in the years after, particularly after Marroquin blamed Lowry for miscarrying. They split in 2016 and finalized their divorce that December.

2018

Things only grew worse between the exes when Marroquin began dating DeJesus. Though the two were only an item for a few months between late 2017 and early 2018, it kickstarted a years-long feud between Lowry and DeJesus, who later wound up getting involved in a legal dispute that lasted from 2021 to 2022 over a different issue.

2020

In a much-discussed episode of Teen Mom 2, Lowry revealed that her ex tried to “f—k” her in a Wawa parking lot while he was dating Comeau. “He opened the door and was like, ‘I wanna f—k you, plain and simple.’ I said, ‘Bye, Javi’ … I have all the texts of him trying to meet up,” she said on the show. (Lowry apologized to Comeau after the episode aired, tweeting that the Arbonne distributor didn’t “deserve the humiliation she was put through due to a situation between Javi & me.”)

One year earlier, in a different episode of TM2, Lowry claimed to her MTV producer that Marroquin had been “cheating on [Lauren] since [she was] pregnant.”

More cheating allegations against Marroquin surfaced when Comeau shared an emotional video via Instagram claiming that she found out through her sons that the Delaware native cheated on her with Lowry. (Marroquin denied the claims in a statement to InTouch Weekly at the time.)

2022

Lowry and Marroquin spent the year both flirting and feuding, with Lowry agreeing that there was a “flirty” vibe coming from her ex. However, their relationship only went sour once more toward the end of the year, with Lowry revealing on “Coffee Convos” that Lincoln hates when they feud.

“[Javi] won’t even look at me or speak to me if I’m in his presence,” she claimed at the time, adding, “[Lincoln] said something to both of us on Sunday. He was like, ‘You get along, then you don’t get along, and then you do, and then you don’t,’ and he was basically saying that it’s exhausting.”

February 2023

Lowry and Marroquin brought their fighting words to the comments section of a Teen Mom fan account after the mom of four claimed on her “Coffee Convos” podcast that her ex refused to take a photo with her and Lincoln at their son’s recent flag football game. She also suggested that Comeau and Marroquin would opt to take their son Eli out of the league if she chose to put her sons Creed and Lux onto the roster.

“The only reason I’m addressing this publicly is because I’m sick of this one-sided narrative with our coparenting,” Marroquin penned in the comments, acknowledging the times he “f—ked up” in the past.

He specifically addressed Lowry’s comments about Comeau, writing, “A relationship is NOT the sole reason for our coparenting issues. The number one reason we have issues is for this bulls—t here. Nothing is private, my personal life isn’t private, our parenting struggles aren’t private, yet she demands privacy about everything and I haven’t taken any of the issues I have with her and our coparenting public over the last year.”

He continued: “Before any relationship started we were still back and forth, email to texting and back. But again it’s easier to cast blame on a relationship instead of acknowledging coparenting hasn’t been and isn’t perfect.”

Lowry, for her part, replied to her ex in the comments. “Up until August of 2022 Javi and I were so cool. He even told me in august SPECIFICALLY that he’s always gonna be there for me and he had my back regardless. Out of nowhere, Javi flipped a switch & said back to [communicating via] email only. He also switched up on all our mutual friends at this time. Javi only acts like this with Lauren because IN MY OPINION he is not completely transparent with her about everything between me and him so he keeps us divided. He will never own that,” she alleged. “I can absolutely do boundaries. I don’t want to be with Javi. But being an absolute d—k to me is not necessary. He’s always been the one to come on to me. Never the other way around, let’s be clear on that.”
