Teen Mom alum Kailyn Lowry is navigating a truly tumultuous period, marked by significant life changes, personal transformations, and evolving family dynamics. As a mother of seven children from four different fathers, her world is constantly shifting, and recent developments with her ex-husband, Javi Marroquin, are particularly impactful.

Kailyn, who had her first child with Jo Rivera as a teenager, eventually parted ways with him before marrying Javi and welcoming their son, Lincoln. Though their marriage didn’t last, they’ve maintained a 50/50 custody arrangement for Lincoln for years. However, this long-standing agreement is now facing inevitable changes. Despite having four baby daddies and acknowledging a complex history with them, Kailyn strives to remain cordial with each for the sake of her children, all of whom reside in Delaware. After her split from Javi, she went on to have two more sons with Chris and is now happily engaged to Elijah Scott.

Kailyn’s Bold New Look: Post-Surgery Confidence and Bikini Debut

In a move that has garnered significant attention, Kailyn Lowry recently debuted a confident new look after undergoing multiple cosmetic procedures. In December, she had breast reduction surgery, followed by a “lip 360” procedure in 2025. The Teen Mom star was open about the “immense pain” and challenging recovery period she endured. However, she’s now fully recovered and proudly flaunting her new body.

Kailyn recently celebrated her birthday with her family in the beautiful Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands. It was there that she, for the very first time since her surgeries, confidently wore a bikini. Posing in a dark green two-piece set by the beach, Kailyn exuded self-assurance, a quality her fans have enthusiastically embraced. Her followers have lauded her newfound confidence and apparent happiness, celebrating her journey of personal transformation.

Javi Reveals Custody Bombshell: A New Chapter for Lincoln

Fans were particularly surprised by a recent development in Kailyn’s life involving Javi Marroquin. Kailyn has frequently stated that she shares no significant bond with her exes, even famously telling Jo Rivera’s current wife that he would only be allowed at her funeral out of tolerance. Javi, for his part, had previously expressed a clear desire for Kailyn to stop discussing him and his family on her podcast. Given this history, many were shocked when Javi appeared as a guest on Kailyn’s podcast.

It turns out that Kailyn and Javi have indeed reconnected, but not in a romantic way. The reason for their renewed collaboration stems from a significant change in Javi’s life: as a recruiter in the United States Air Force Reserve, he is being transferred from their shared city to Virginia. This move necessitates a change in their long-standing custody agreement for Lincoln. While the situation is “not ideal,” both Kailyn and Javi are actively working together to navigate it. Javi is determined to maintain a strong presence in Lincoln’s life and feels it’s his right to continue living with his son. Kailyn, too, wants to ensure she maximizes her time with Lincoln.

Consequently, the duo has reached an amicable settlement that, according to Javi, offers “the best of two worlds.” Under the new arrangement, Kailyn will have Lincoln for the school year, ensuring stability during his academic life. Javi, in turn, will have Lincoln every three days, along with weekends, holidays, and the entire summer. Javi recently shared on Instagram that next year, they plan to involve Lincoln in the discussion, allowing him to have a say in how he wants to live, and new arrangements will be made accordingly. Javi expressed his satisfaction with the current custody situation, deeming it “fair” as it ensures both parents have “equal time” with Lincoln. He also revealed that his appearance on Kailyn’s podcast was a mutual decision, making it easier for them to collectively announce these significant changes to their co-parenting dynamic.
