There's been a lot of news surrounding Kailyn Lowry's love life in recent weeks, but most of it has revolved around reports that Javi Marroquin is dating Briana DeJesus . Just about anyone would be upset to learn their ex-husband is romantically involved with one of their colleagues, and many of those same folks would legitimately lose their minds if the situation played out in front of millions of obsessed. But Lowry is somehow keeping her cool. In fact, it seems she recently moved on to a new relationship, and the Kail Collective is loving the latest news about their queen's partner. Here's what we know about the romance between Kailyn and Dominique Potter: 1. Tough Times in Lowry Land To say Kailyn has a lot on her plate these days would be a massive understatement. The mother of three is currently coping with more drama than anyone else in the Teen Mom universe. 2. Taking It in Stride Kailyn is dealing with news that the father of her second child is dating a former friend while also raising three kids on her own, the youngest of whom is only 3 months old. 3. A One-Woman Empire On top of everything, Kail is still coming for Oprah and Martha Stewart in the media mogul department. The girl has just about every kind of project imaginable in the works. 4. But She Still Makes Time For Her Take note, single moms: You can’t care for anyone if you’re not caring for yourself. Kailyn seems to know that, which may be why she still makes time for romance. 5. The Latest on Kail’s Love Life Recently, Kailyn was rumored to be dating Dionisio Cephas. But either those reports were bogus, or the relationship has fizzled. 6. Hayter Lover? These days, Kailyn is romantically involved with a woman, but it’s NOT her longtime friend and rumored lover Becky Hayter… View Slideshow
Recently, Kailyn Lowry treated Lux to his first Disneyland trip . As a mom, she makes sure that her sons experience the joys that life and childhood have to offer. Over the weekend, she and her sons enjoyed an early Halloween celebration. And yes, of course there are pictures. On top of showing that she knows how to do Halloween right, Kailyn Lowry also made it very clear that she’s totally nailing this whole coparenting thing. First of all, look at these three precious boys and their mom. Kailyn is positively glowing with maternal joy. Remember — we all love Halloween as adults, either because we like the parties or because we like the movie marathons or because we like yard decorations or we like this time of year or it’s Gay Christmas or we just love any excuse to dress up and drink. But children? Halloween is a truly magical, wonderful night as children. It’s an adventure. You get to dress up and go to people’s houses and get free candy. As adults, we can all just buy candy. Kids don’t have that luxury. For them, especially at the ages of Isaac and Lincoln, Halloween is a miracle . But Kailyn’s sons weren’t the only kids invited to the pre-Halloween festivities. Here, we see Isaac and Lincoln posing with Vivi. Who is Vivi, you might ask? Jo Rivera and his fiancee, Vee Torres, were hanging out with Kailyn because Isaac is Jo’s son, too. Vivi is that couple’s young daughter. Coparenting is not always easy, but unless there are very good reasons to do otherwise, kids might be better off spending a holiday with both parents (if they’re getting along amicably) than being juggled back and forth between alternating holidays. And yes, Javi Marroquin was also there — which is no surprise. Kailyn and Briana DeJesus are feuding over Javi , if reports are to be believed, so we’d say that Kailyn cares about him quite a bit. Let’s not politicize Isaac and Lincoln’s meeting with this police mascot, folks. It’s not a political statement. Also, children need to know how to interact with and, usually, to trust police. (You can make all of the furry jokes that you like, though) Sadly, Lincoln and Isaac might have more police contact than any child should need to if Chris Lopez, Lux’s father, doesn’t change his ways. We’ve all learned the scary reason Kailyn keeps Chris Lopez away , and it’s about so much more than unsigned paternity papers. Reportedly, Chris Lopez has been physically abusive towards Kailyn, even going so far as hitting her while she was holding their baby. So Chris Lopez is conspicuously absent from this photo — with good reason. A shame that things were too awkward and Javi Marroquin couldn’t bring his alleged girlfriend Briana DeJesus . (Kidding! But can you imagine ?) No, but seriously. Not all families look like a creepy 1950s fantasy with a man and a woman and 2.5 kids. It’s fine if they do, but a lot of families are a lot more complicated. What matters is that you find a healthy and safe way to make it work, and that you always put the kids first. And that’s what Kailyn Lowry is clearly doing with two of her baby daddies. Happy pre-Halloween, everybody. View Slideshow: Kailyn Lowry: Timeline of a Turbulent Teen Mom Life

If the events of the past week have proven anything, it’s that Teen Mom 2 should be filmed 24/7 like the freakin’ Truman Show . Most reality series are already running out of steam by the time their eighth season wraps up, but thanks in part to the addition of Briana DeJesus, TM2 is just getting warmed up. Sadly, the show isn’t currently filming, so of all the wild recent events, only the stuff that took place at Saturday’s reunion show was caught on camera. Fortunately, the cast has done an admirable job of documenting the drama on social media. If you follow any of them on Twitter or Instagram, then you’ve probably already heard about David Eason drunkenly stabbing balloons and trying to fight Nathan Griffith. That’s good stuff, but if you ask us, the Kailyn Lowry-Briana DeJesus-Javi Marroquin situation is even more fascinating. Kailyn and Javi are about to embark on a book tour together, despite the fact that they finalized their divorce almost a year ago. Needless to say, the situation was already fraught with emotional peril, but things are even more complex thanks to rumors that Javi is dating Briana . There’s really no way to talk about this situation without sounding like Gretchen Wieners from Mean Girls , so please forgive us in advance: For starters, Briana and Kailyn used to be friends, even though Briana denies it now. Apparently, Kail was pissed about all the rumors that Briana has a thing for Javi because Lowry and DeJesus didn’t even talk at the reunion show. Afterward, Briana threw major shade on social media, tweeting that Jenelle Evans is the only cool Teen Mom , and posting a bunch of new pics of her and Javi. Marroquin apparently took this as a sign that he and Briana are officially dating, and he even went so far as to confirm the relationship rumors in a recent interview: “We are dating,” Javi told People magazine earlier this week. “We’ve been friends for a while and we weren’t in a rush.” But in her latest interview, Briana denies that she and Javi are a couple, and she basically tells Marroquin to slow his roll: “Nothing is going on,” DeJesus bluntly tells E! News. Adding to the speculation that she’s not seeking a relationship with Javi is a recent tweet of Briana’s that reads, “About to change my number and go ghost.” All of this begs the question–why was Briana acting as though she and Javi were together? Was she just messing with Kailyn? Is she really that petty? For the sake of our future entertainment, we hope the answer to both those questions is “yes.” Watch Teen Mom 2 online to keep up with all this craziness. The show just keeps getting better, y’all.

Unfortunately, when you accumulate enough baby daddies, your odds of encountering dead beats and worse go up and up. Unfortunately, the odds aren’t that low to begin with. And Kailyn Lowry knows that all too well. Well Chris Lopez has the audacity to blame Kailyn for his separation from their baby, Lux. And he’s using social media to play the victim. The Teen Mom franchise is full of deadbeat dads. After all, the girls didn’t get to star on 16 and Pregnant through parthenogenesis. They had help. Thus, baby daddies. And, though this may shock you, the kinds of guys who get girls pregnant in high school aren’t always the most reliable, dependable sorts. Who knew? Briana DeJesus in particular comes to mind when it comes to Teen Mom 2 stars and deadbeats, but Briana doesn’t have a monopoly on them. While Kailyn Lowry’s most famous ex, Javi Marroquin, shows up in her life (and in Briana DeJesus — Javi is a guy who knows how to cling to fame even when he’s an ex), Chris Lopez does not. He reportedly refused and continues to refuse to sign any paperwork assuming legal fatherhood over his child, baby Lux. (Yes, Kailyn Lowry took ages to finally name him , but Lux is a pretty good if unusual name, we think) Weird that he’s publicly complaining about not seeing a baby he won’t even claim as his, but we guess that he’s trying to have his cake (time with his baby) and eat it, too (zero responsibilities, financial or otherwise). Which is pretty gross. Despite his deadbeat status, we might almost feel sorry for Chris Lopez. Almost . But we’ve heard the scary reason that Kailyn keeps Chris Lopez away , and it’s so much more than a paperwork issue. Reportedly, though Kailyn’s managed to keep it off of Teen Mom 2 for reasons that we can guess but cannot understand, Chris Lopez has been violent. Violent with Kailyn’s home while trying to break in to see Lux, leaving damage to both her door and window. Which is terrifying. But also violent with Kailyn herself, apparently having hit her while she was holding Lux. That’s not just scary — that’s monstrous. It sounds like Lux needs to be kept approximately 9 million feet from Chris Lopez at all times. So Kailyn’s doing the right thing. Chris Lopez doesn’t see it that way. If you buy his narrative, he’s the victim here, and Kailyn Lowry is keeping him from seeing baby Lux for, we suppose, no good reason. In a recent tweet to fans, Chris Lopez wrote: “Miss my youngin.” While, in light of what’s been reported about his violent behavior, we’re not eager for him to be around Lux or Kailyn ever again, it’s perplexing that he’d say things like this but not file some simple paternity paperwork. It’s enough to make us wonder if he’s just using this situation to try to milk his followers for attention and sympathy. Ugh. His followers weren’t falling for it — not all of them, at least. His tweet got replies, some calling him “pathetic.” Others said: “He doesn’t miss [you]. She said you’re a deadbeat.” Of course, it’s been reported that Chris Lopez’s mother wants him to file for full custody of Lux, as she is said to disapprove of Kailyn and, like too many mothers, probably refuses to see the bad in her own son. Even if you choose to not believe the reports about Chris Lopez’s alleged violence towards Kailyn and her home, remember that there have been other alarming things about her latest baby daddy. Chris Lopez burned Kailyn’s book in a public diss. Because nothing says “I should be allowed to supervise a baby” like burning a book in a populated apartment building, right? Since Jo Rivera and Javi Marroquin are still in their kids lives, Chris Lopez’s current problems seem to be caused by Chris Lopez — not by Kailyn. But some guys will always see themselves as the victims, because that’s the way that they want to see the world. View Slideshow: Kailyn Lowry Finally Reveals (VERY Unusual) Baby Name!
You have to know that you’re in the wrong when you’ve lost the moral high ground to Farrah Abraham. Though Kailyn Lowry has already dismissed the idea , the fact that remains that Jenelle Evans is threatening to quit Teen Mom 2 , alleging that the edits are making her look bad. Now, both Kailyn Lowry and Farrah Abraham are weighing in on exactly what they think about Jenelle’s whining. Jenelle Evans, terror of Teen Mom 2 , might quit the franchise that she’s been with for, what, 8 years? In a bizarre case of a reality star biting the hand that feeds them, the Carolina Hurricane has been ranting about “unfair” edits that portray her and David Eason as bad parents. But Jenelle has also been refusing to film , so maybe she’s really sticking to her guns this time. Obviously, MTV and the producers and editors for Teen Mom 2 have to tell a story in order for Teen Mom 2 to be entertaining. Reality television is not a documentary, folks. But to hear Jenelle tell it, they’re publicly maligning her by only showing the bad things in her family. An obvious solution would be for her family to just … not have bad things to film, but maybe that just isn’t possible with scary David Eason around. Jenelle’s complaints that it’s MTV that’s ruining her life don’t really hold water, especially when you remember that people who know her in real life — like two grandmothers of two of her children — believe that her kids aren’t safe with her. Well, now not one but two of Jenelle’s costars are speaking up. TMZ caught up with Farrah Abraham , who, when pressed, was willing to discuss Jenelle Evans’ whining. “Look, here’s my thing: I don’t edit the show; none of the women do, so I don’t think that they should be talking about the edit.” In fact, Farrah is tired of the whole conversation. “That’s kind of a dead story. Some old topics.” Reality television is reality television. Farrah says that she focuses on being a star, on being “the talent.” “That’s my pay grade and I don’t like to edit, so I’ll leave it to them.” That makes sense. Everyone does their jobs and the show gets made and everybody gets paid. Farrah does have a fun suggestion for Jenelle: “Maybe she should just, you know, apply to edit the show.” Or she could just let qualified people do their jobs and maybe Jenelle could make a better effort to be a good mother. We would summarize Farrah’s attitude towards Jenelle and her gripes as … dismissive. “It is what it is. Like, who cares?” Kailyn Lowry also spoke to TMZ , and told them that editing just goes with the territory. “We all kind of have a storyline that they have to follow, and it’s up to us to change it if we want to better our image, or whatever.” Exactly. MTV can’t show only bad stuff if there isn’t any bad stuff, folks. “I can’t think of a time where they, like, edited my conversations like that.” Meaning that, in all of her years in the Teen Mom franchise, Kailyn hasn’t experienced anything like what Jenelle is alleging happened. That casts a lot of doubt on Jenelle’s claims. “But I meant here’s always times where we don’t like how they edit things.” Again, editing goes with the territory, but everybody performs their functions and gets paid. Only Jenelle seems to be losing her mind over it. “But, at the end of the day, that’s what we signed up for and it’s in our contract that they’re allowed to do that.” And then Kailyn talks about Jenelle, specifically. “I’m not going to say that Jenelle’s overreacting or being dramatic; I think Jenelle’s just being Jenelle.” That’s a nicely shady insult and also the total opposite of the 2008 meaning of she’s just being Miley . And Kailyn had a bit more to say. “Jenelle texted me saying to keep her name out of my mouth, so I’ll just leave it there.” View Slideshow: Jenelle Evans: Is She REALLY Quitting Teen Mom 2?! Yes, we’d heard that Jenelle told Kailyn to shut her “bitch ass” up or something along those lines (it was actually a demand that she end her “bitch ass comments”) Kailyn is then asked, in response to the news that Jenelle had texted her: “Are you guys friends.” Kailyn almost looks surprised by the question. ” Nope ,” she replies.
