Tyler Baltierra: I’m Not Leaving Catelynn Lowell, You Psychos!

So you know how people have been talking about how Tyler Baltierra should leave Catelynn Lowell for a long time now? Yeah, it’s this whole thing. It’s weird, because in the beginning of their reality television career, they were this adorable couple who made the painful decision to place their child for adoption because it was best for her. They were definitely Teen Mom fan favorites … so what happened? Things had been going downhill for a while, after Catelynn and Tyler neglected to do the things they’d planned to do after they had their first child. They never went to college, they never did all the things they said they were going to do to better themselves and change their lives. But then they had their second child, Nova, who they obviously kept. They also sent Nova to spend the night at Catelynn’s mother’s house multiples times a week, and they once even let Tyler’s father babysit her while they went out of the country. Fans will remember that Catelynn’s mother and Tyler’s father were pretty much the main reasons they thought they couldn’t raise their first child … So opinions began to change, definitely. Then, last year, Catelynn checked into a treatment center for six weeks to deal with suicide thoughts she began having after a miscarriage . And no one thought poorly about her for that. But then she came home, and a few weeks after that, she went back for another six weeks . Lots of people really thought poorly about her then. The thing was that she didn’t seem open to trying to get help at home — at outpatient treatment center in their state, therapy, nothing. Even after Tyler explained how hard it was on their daughter to have her gone for so long , she wasn’t moved. She even seemed kind of cold about it — she didn’t tell Nova she would be gone for over a month again, and she told Tyler that she’d “manage” without her. When we saw all of this happen on Teen Mom OG, Tyler was obviously frustrated by it all. He said at one point that he was beginning to think that he and Cate weren’t right for each other anymore. In more recent episodes, he called her behavior “repulsing,” and he’s really just seemed over her altogether. As he complained to some friends, “marriage is a bitch.” You might be thinking something along the lines of “hold up, aren’t they about to have another kid?” And it’s true — Catelynn is pregnant right now , and in March she and Tyler will welcome another daughter. But on the show, Tyler hasn’t seemed super excited about the whole thing because, as anyone who knows anything about any of this can see, the timing just isn’t good. He even claimed that they’d been doing everything they could to prevent a pregnancy. What we’re saying with all of this is that just a few months ago, things were really bad for these two, and perhaps they still are. So bad that Tyler recently sort of commented that he deserves better than Catelynn . In a recent post on the Teen Mom OG Instagram page, someone left a comment complaining about how Cate had been refusing to watch the show with Tyler, something his therapist reccommended. “I cannot STAND Cate,” that person wrote. “I hope he moves on from her at some point. He deserves a real woman, not a little girl.” And Tyler liked that comment. It got a lot of attention, because of course it did, but now, Tyler is claiming that the whole thing was just a misunderstanding. “OMG people!” he tweeted to kick off his explanation. “That was a comment that Cate’s dad replied to & since I got his notification I scrolled to see what he had responded to & must have hit the like button.” “Why would I like a negative comment about my wife with her dad on the thread?” he asked. “You people are psycho lmao!” Yeah, so that’s not terribly convincing, huh? Sure, lots of people probably accidentally like things all the time on social media, but if it’s something like this, they usually just un-like it, you know? Besides, the word is that the girl who wrote that original comment has made it clear that Catelynn’s dad never replied to it, so that’s something. Look, maybe Tyler’s telling the truth, and he really did like that comment accidentally. Or maybe he really has been feeling like he deserves a better partner than Catelynn . Either way, he’s made it perfectly clear that he has no plans to leave her, no matter what. View Slideshow: Tyler Baltierra: I’m Beyond Miserable Being Married to Catelynn Lowell That’s … good? Unfortunate? At this point, it’s hard to say. But good luck, Baltierras, however things turn out!

Tyler Baltierra: I’m Simply "Miserable" in My Marriage

Tyler Baltierra and Catelynn Lowell are currently in a great place. Like, a REALLY great place: The couple is expecting a baby ! But the Teen Mom OG stars had to overcome many obstacles to get here, most notably Catelynn's struggle with her mental health and related trips to rehab. On the October 15 episode of this MTV hit, Tyler seemed to hit rock bottom. He opened way up about how he viewed his marriage and his romance, confessing some difficult feelings to his friends and to his wife. Scroll down for a look at what Tyler once said about his relationship… in order to fully appreciate where it is now. 1. To Reiterate: All is Good Now! Tyler and Catelynn announced their unexpected pregnancy in mid-September. They could not be more excited to welcome the little boy or girl into their world in March. 2. That is Now. What About Then? This episode of Teen Mom OG was taped many months ago. It centered on the couple sitting down for an appearance on Dr. Oz, before which Catelynn spoke to Dr. Mike Dow. 3. And What Did This Doctor Say? He told the Catelynn that he was proud of her for opening up about her mental health issues to help eliminate the stigma against people who are suffering from similar problems. From there, Lowell admitted she was having trouble staying away from people who were NOT understanding her situation. 4. The Trolls are Everywhere “I cant even go on Twitter right now,” she said. “People are ruthless, they think that I’m just running away from my problems or not wanting to be a mom. I’m not running away from my problems, I was fixing my problems and trying to get better so I could be a better mom.” 5. Baltierra Weighs In… Tyler told his wife – to her face – that he wanted her to take better stock of the influence her time in rehab took on him. He suggested she watch past Teen Mom OG episodes in order to see the toll her depression has had on their marriage. 6. The Bombshell Drops Tyler then got brutally candid, saying on air: “I’m gonna be really very honest. I feel like I’m not too happy right now. I’m identifying that I feel pretty miserable.” He said this to his friends. View Slideshow

Tyler Baltierra: I’m Simply "Miserable" in My Marriage

Tyler Baltierra: I Had a Mental Breakdown Last Year, Too!

2017 was not a great time for the Baltierra family. And that’s a pretty huge understatement. Lots and lots of things happened for Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra last year, and it seems like not a whole lot of them were great. Tyler’s father, Butch, kicked off the year dealing with his lifelong drug addiction, but thankfully he did check into a longterm rehab. As far as we know, he’s still doing well, so that’s something. Amber, Tyler’s sister, checked into rehab too with problems of her own . Hopefully she’s doing as well as their father is! As far as family stuff goes, those are clearly some pretty big ups and downs. But nothing affected Catelynn and Tyler as badly as her miscarriage did. As we saw last season on Teen Mom OG, the longtime couple made the decision last year to try for another baby. They already had Carly, the girl Catelynn got pregnant with when they were teenagers, the one they placed for adoption. And in 2015, they welcomed Nova, another darling little girl. But after Nova was born, Cate suffered from severe postpartum depression . It eventually got so bad that she checked into a treatment center, but even after leaving there, her depression persisted. At some point early last year though, things started to turn around, and like we said, they decided the time was right to have another baby. She got pregnant pretty soon after they started trying to conceive, and they quickly shared the news with family. Then the miscarriage happened . We didn’t see too much of it on the show, which is good. As reality stars, they share a lot of themselves, but some things should stay private. During one segment, we did see Tyler explaining what happened, and he was clearly broken up about it. Catelynn, however, began contemplating suicide, so she checked into that treatment center once again. We all know what happened after that — she completed six weeks of treatment, went home for a bit, then went back for six more weeks of treatment. As difficult a time as she had then, things are looking up now. She’s pregnant again , and she and Tyler both seem to be really excited about it. But in a new interview, Tyler got really, really candid about how difficult things got last year, particularly with the miscarriage. And man, is it rough to hear. He calls the miscarriage a “traumatic loss” and admits that it was “very emotionally intense,” but he says that his first reaction was to tend to Catelynn. “I ran to her, held her,” he recounts. “We cried. We just held each other for probably two hours and cried.” “That was our way of kind of letting go and accepting reality for what it is.” “From a guy’s perspective,” he continues, clarifying that he doesn’t mean “to sound sexist,” but “it’s almost more acceptable for a woman to break down and be emotional.” “But I swear, as a man, when I walked away from Cate and I didn’t have to be so strong, I was breaking down every single day.” When she went away to get treatment, he says “I was taking Nova to school and just crying every single day.” “I’m assuming a lot of women do the same thing. It’s just not really talked about a lot with men.” It’s heartbreaking to hear all of this, but there’s one thing that helped him cope, and that was his daughter. Tyler says that “Seeing Nova and realizing that I can’t sit here and sulk in my pity” got him through the difficult time. “I’ve gotta be strong, engage with my daughter, play with her, take her to the park.” “I still had a job to do of raising her around the happiest environment I could make for her,” he explains. “I kind of felt that she was my motivation to keep strong, looking at her and saying, ‘I did lose this child, but look at this beautiful child I’ve got now.'” As touching as it is, he adds that Nova “helped me push myself forward and keep going.” During that time, Tyler says that he’d put his daughter to bed, then “go in my room and cry about it.” For him, it was important not to hide his emotions from her, but it was also important not to break down in front of her, either. From where we’re sitting, it looks like handled the situation well. In the newest clip of Catelynn and Tyler on Teen Mom OG, the one where they tell Nova they’re having a baby , she looks like a very happy little girl.

After all they’ve been through, they definitely deserve it!

Tyler Baltierra Shows Off Jaw-Dropping, 43-Pound Weight Loss!

Teen Mom star Tyler Baltierra has flaunted his wild weight loss before, but this time, his thirst trap is accompanied by a before photo. In case the powerful visual of his body’s transformation isn’t enough, he reveals exactly how much weight he’s lost. Take a look: Tyler Baltierra posted a pair of shirtless photos of himself. In the first, he looks overweight. It’s not an especially flattering image for a few reasons. His body type in the pic could be described as “soft” or even, dare we say it, ” dad bod .” Tyler wants fans to know how much weight he’s lost, so he starts his captions with his stats. “208lbs to 165lbs!” Tyler announces.  That makes for a weight difference of 43 pounds. Wow! “I’ve been eating healthy for about 7 months,” Tyler reveals about his lifestyle transformation. Tyler then clarifies what he means by healthy food, since everybody has their own definition. He explains: “(no processed foods/low carbs/no sugar)” Different diets have different effects, but you can’t argue with his results! Tyler has been eating like this for more than half a year. “But,” he says. “I’ve only been working out for 3 of those months.” Diet and exercise combined are radically transforming his body. “And,” Tyler writes. “I’m finally starting to see results from it!” Um, we’re all seeing those results. “#ReachingGoals,” Tyler tagged his post. “#SelfLove.” Learning to love yourself is a great first step to taking measures to improve your health. He followed that up with the tags: “#Dedication #NaturalEndorphins.” Exercise may be miserable, but the release of natural endorphins is part of the reward. View Slideshow: Catelynn Lowell Teases “Big News” … Is She PREGNANT?! Finally, Tyler tags: “#IAmMyOnlyCompetition” That sounds like a very healthy mindset. He’s not competing for Catelynn’s heart — he won that a long time ago. He’s comparing his body and his current weight to his old body and his old weight. Tyler Baltierra working out and posting these thirst traps has been great for his self esteem. It has also, some cynical fans fear, been a warning that Tyler and Catelynn will get divorced . Some people worry when one spouse suddenly starts working hard on getting hot. While Catelynn obviously enjoys his new hot body, some fans fear that he’s preparing to leave her or at least step out on her. If, they say, he has not done so already. But Tyler isn’t getting hot so that he can bang other women. He’s getting hot for himself. He is working to better his physical health, his mental health, and his emotional health. Tyler has been open and honest about his struggles, but improving his health from without and within can really help him — in conjunction with proper medication and therapy. By sharing his journey with fans and followers, Tyler is showing that they can follow in his footsteps. Plus, he’s also showing off a little. That’s okay. He has more than earned those bragging rights. View Slideshow: Catelynn Lowell: Pregnant with Baby #3!

Catelynn Lowell: Pregnant with Baby #3!

Back in late August, Catelynn Lowell said she had big news she would soon share. We speculated at the time. We wondered at the time. We hoped at the time. We thought… maybe, possibly: Could Catelynn be pregnant ? It was just a guess, but Catelynn and husband Tyler Baltierra have now confirmed it was an accurate one: The couple is expecting another child! Scroll down to learn more about this blessed development, including quotes from the Teen Mom veterans and history of how the couple got here. 1. It’s True! Catelynn Lowell is expecting her third child! She made the exciting announcement via this beautiful photo. 2. And It’s Shocking! Or at least very surprising. For reasons we’ll get to later, fans have been concerned about the state of Catelynn and Tyler’s marriage ever since watching the trailer for Teen Mom OG. 3. For What Reason? Because Tyler says the following in an upcoming scene from Season 8: “If someone asked me, ‘Are you happy in your marriage?’I would say, ‘Absolutely not.'” 4. You Can Watch Him Say It Here: Doesn’t sound like a man anxious to expand his family with his wife, does it? 5. But Those Episodes Were Filmed Months Ago In other words: That was then, this is now, and now Catelynn says the following to Us Weekly: “The big news is that we are expecting our rainbow baby. This baby is our rainbow after the storm. I’m super excited.” 6. Wait, There Was a Storm? Yes. Catelynn and Tyler have been through A LOT.

Catelynn Lowell & Tyler Baltierra Check Into Rehab to Save Marriage (Report)

It looks like more hard times are ahead for Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra. According to Radar Online, the Baltierras have checked into an in-patient couple-oriented therapy program in a last-ditch effort to save their marriage. Catelynn has been to rehab several times over the course of the past two years, and while she's made progress with her mental health, insiders say she and Tyler both continue to struggle daily. Now, it seems they've decided that in order to make their marriage work, they'll both need to address their mental health issues with the help of professionals. Here's what we know about the situation thus far: 1. Better Days For years, Tyler and Catelynn were the most stable couple in all of the Teen Mom franchise. 2. Hard Times Sadly, a combination of difficult times, past trauma, and latent mental health issues all combined to put the Baltierras’ marriage to the test in a major way. 3. The Domino Effect Both Tyler and Catelynn have been diagnosed with various mental illnesses that are at least partially the result of their traumatic upbringings. 4. Tragedy Strikes When Catelynn suffered a miscarriage, the tragedy triggered a downward spiral that prompted her to check into rehab multiple times. 5. A Double-Edged Sword Tyler did his best to be a supportive spouse, but as is so often the case with this sort of thing, Catelynn’s illness and frequent absences eventually began to take a toll. 6. Stepping Up Tyler took care of the couple’s daughter and visited Catelynn in Arizona as often as possible. But eventually, it all became too much … View Slideshow

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro: Demanding Paternity Test from Jen Harley?

Did someone dare Ronnie Ortiz-Magro to get as messy as possible this month? Because that's what it's starting to feel like. If you keep up with all the latest comings and goings of the Jersey Shore crew, then you know that Ronnie has had quite a few issues with his girlfriend and the mother of his daughter, Jen Harley. And if you weren't aware — or even if you just want a nice little recap along with all the latest information — then let's get right into it. 1. A Love Story This is Ronnie with Jen Harley, a girl he dated for a few weeks before she got pregnant last year. We didn’t hear too much about their relationship for a long time, but now it feels safe to say that their relationship has probably never been a fairy tale. 2. Cutting It Close Seriously, Ronnie dated Malika Haqq until last July, and he got Jen pregnant about a month after that. It’s wild out there. 3. Awww? When we heard that they were expecting a child together, no one really thought much of it, besides “look, those crazy Jersey Shore kids are growing up!” But then Jersey Shore started airing again, and all the drama came to light. 4. Bad, Bad Ronnie Even though Jen was defintely pregnant when they filmed the show, Ronnie went back to his old cheating ways. He took some girl to the bathroom, they did some stuff, then he kept drinking and started running his mouth to his roommates about Jen. 5. Trust “I don’t trust her for shit. I don’t,” he admitted. “So all I can do is act happy and be the best father I can be, and at the end of the day, I’m still f-cking miserable. If Jen was not pregnant, I don’t know if I’d be with her.” 6. Not a Great Move It was dumb to talk about all of that on television, but he did, and soon after, his relationship with Jen exploded. But, oddly enough, it wasn’t because of what happened on the show. At least, not directly. View Slideshow

Amber Baltierra: Tyler Baltierra’s Sister Enters Rehab for 3 Months

Teen Mom OG viewers will recognize Amber Baltierra, the sister of Tyler Baltierra. While Tyler has recently discussed the fact that he is bipolar , Amber has her own troubles. Hers, it seems, have been getting worse. And now it is revealed that she will be checking herself in to a 90-day stint in rehab. But why ? Amber tells fans that she is going away by sharing a couple of (filtered) photos of her children, writing on Instagram: “These two. They are my rock. My motivation. My inspiration.” That’s exactly what we want to hear from any parent. “The reason I breathe and wake up every day.” At times, her message slips from being about her children to being directed at her children. “Mommy loves you [two] more than you guys may know right now.” She says that she is doing this for them. “You both deserve nothing but the best and I will give that to you.” In talking about how much she will miss her kids, she reveals how long she will be away. “I’m gonna miss you these 90 days.” That’s a very long time. But she knows that they will be okay. “I know dad and everyone else will keep you busy this summer.” Her thoughts will always be with her children. “Just know I love you both with every fiber in me.” This step, which she is taking for herself, will also help her to be their parent. “When mom gets home she’s gonna be the best woman I can be and an even better mom.” Teen Mom fans already understand that  Catelynn Lowell’s mental illness does not make her a bad mom. So surely they can understand that Amber’s troubles don’t meant hat she loves her kids any less. She does not explain why she is entering rehab, but she does write: “I’ll pray for your comfort and happiness everyday I’m not with you.” That is so sweet. “Show the world [you’re] my babies and you guys are strong and can get through anything.” And she shares some words of inspiration with them: “Because well, you got Baltierra blood and it don’t get stronger than that” Her estranged husband, Billy Wade Elkins Jr., tells RadarOnline that Amber Baltierra will undergo treatment at a Texas rehab facility. And she’s leaving very soon. “She’s going to Texas. She leaves Friday.” Her father, Butch Baltierra, had already confirmed that she would be doing a stint in rehab. Though Amber did not specify why she is entering rehab, it is reported that this may be for relationship issues as well as alleged drug use. We hope that this experience helps her. (Also, check out this throwback that she shared of her and Tyler) One insider claims to RadarOnline that, in their opinion, Amber is going to rehab as a sort of … vacation? “I think it’s an excuse to ditch her responsibility as an adult.” They say that she is no genuinely trying to change. “Not to really get any help.” This source does not expect to be overwhelmed by the results of Amber’s 90 days away. “I’d be very surprised if she came out changed for the better.” This insider also thinks that it may be some sort of stunt. “Amber in my opinion is only going to therapy for attention and what it does for the show.” Overall, this person clearly does not think highly of Amber. “She’s just irresponsible, immature, so maybe it’ll get her act together.” Yikes. We wish Amber Baltierra the best of luck during her rehab stint. We can only imagine how much she will miss her children. She’s planning to be gone until August , folks. And while we’re sure that Tyler understands, Catelynn Lowell only returned from rehab last February. Now, his sister is entering a facility. It’s good that they’re getting help, but he has to be missing these important figures in his life while they’re away. View Slideshow: Tyler Baltierra: Is He Going to Rehab Next?!

Tyler Baltierra: I Suffer From Bipolar Disorder

For much of the past two years, Catelynn Lowell’s struggle with mental illness has been documented by Teen Mom OG camera crews. Lowell has been commended for her bravery in being so honest about her difficulties, and many have heaped praise on her husband, Tyler Baltierra, for his endless support of his struggling wife. Now, Tyler is opening up about his own mental health issues, and like Catelynn, he’s sharing details about his battle in hopes of diminishing damaging stigmas encouraging fans to seek help when they need it. Baltierra revealed on Twitter this week that he’s been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. In a series of candid tweets, Tyler revealed that he initially planned to keep his diagnosis a secret, but was encouraged by his wife to go public with his struggle. “Honestly, I wasn’t even planning on releasing that info, but once Cate mentioned about my recent diagnosis, I figured “what the hell!?” the 26-year-old tweeted. “Like why am I so against telling anyone!? It’s actually been a little easier to digest since I have been talking about it more,” he added. Asked if he plans to seek a pharmaceutical solution, Baltierra reveals that he has not yet decided on a course of treatment: “Well tbh it’s still so new to me,” he wrote. “So, I’ve been doing non-stop research on the diagnosis, the different remedies to combat symptoms, & how to better understand it. I did refuse medication, but only because I wanted to try all of the natural remedies first. It’s a journey,” It seems the diagnosis did not come as a total shock to Tyler, who has long suspected he may suffer from a mental illness. “He mentioned in the past that he thought that maybe he suffered from bipolar disorder, but he wasn’t sure,” a source explained to Radar Online. “He’s talked about his mood going from super funny and goofy, which he’s known for, to his depressive phases. That was a red flag for him.” It’s unclear if Tyler’s mental illness will be addressed on future episodes of Teen Mom OG . But for now, Baltierra is doing his fans a great service by opening up about his condition on social media. Watch Teen Mom OG online for more on Tyler and Catelynn’s road to greater mental health.
