‘Teen Mom 2’ Star Kailyn Lowry’s Dating History: Jo Rivera, Chris Lopez, Elijah Scott and More
Teen Mom 2viewers have been following Kailyn Lowry’s love life for nearly a decade on MTV.

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.
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.
“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. During her pregnancy, Lowry accused Lopez of cheating in March 2020. He denied her claims, writing via Instagram that she was creating drama to share on Teen Mom 2. They welcomed their son Creed in August 2020.
That October, Lowry was arrested for allegedly punching her ex in the face during a fight about Lux’s haircut. According to court documents obtained by Us at the time, Scott claimed that Lowry “started attacking him [and] punching him several times on the head and upper torso because she did not want the child’s hair cut,” in addition to stating he did not try to fight back at her. Lowry, for her part, told police the fight “never became physical.”
The pair’s ups and downs continued in May 2023 as Lowry alleged that Lopez tried to “kill” her during a domestic dispute while she was pregnant with Creed. “He put my face into the couch and was just smothering me into the couch,” she alleged during an appearance on the “Dumb Blonde” podcast. “I don’t know what took over me but I fought for my f—king life. I just remember just turning my head a certain way and being able to, like, gasp for air. I still did not want to call the f—king police. I was so just, like, ‘I want you to choose me, I want you to get better.’ You know? It was sick.”
Lopez addressed her claims not long after via TikTok Live, stating that while had “never almost killed nobody,” Lowry’s story wasn’t entirely false. “I did choke her. I already admitted that. It’s already on my record. The DV [domestic violence] is true. I’m not gonna hide from that. That’s something I’m honest about. The DV part is true,” he explained. “But the whole beating her up part? No, that’s not true. I never beat her up. I never did any of that s—t.”
“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.”
“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.”

Elijah Scott
Lowry confirmed that she was seeing someone new via an Instagram vitamin ad in April 2022. “Me and my boyfriend actually send pictures of Open Vitamins that we take every morning,” she said in the since-deleted post. “He will send me a picture of his and I will send a picture of mine.”
She later made her and Scott’s relationship Instagram official by sharing a photo of their hands while in bed on a trip to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The pair moved in together not long after they began dating.
Scott appeared on a June 2022 episode of Lowry’s “Barely Famous” podcast, during which Lowry recalled their first fight.
“I got this crazy pain in my stomach [while we were in the car] and I was like, ‘I need you to go 100 mph.’ And he was like, ‘I can’t, or I’ll lose my license,’” Lowry shared. “I was mortified. I was like, ‘I am not meeting your mom for the first time and almost s—tting myself on her floor.’”
Lowry later shut down rumors that Scott had an affair. In response to a fan who asked via Instagram, “Was your boyfriend in a relationship when you moved next door to him?” she wrote, “Yes but he did not cheat on her. We got together a while after they broke up despite what some are committed to believing.”
Lowry and Scott quietly welcomed their first child together, son Rio, in late 2022 before further expanding their family with the birth of twins in January 2024. Lowry has not shared the names of babies No. 6 and 7, but she did share their sexes: one boy and one girl.
