Jenelle Evans
Teen Mom 2; 16 & Pregnant 2
Son: Jace
Baby Daddy: Andrew Lewis
Dramz: Jenelle is a party girl whose arrests include marijuana possession, and her put-upon mom Barbara sued for legal custody of baby Jace.
Update: Jenelle avoided jail for a vicious catfight following a dispute over Evans' equally charming off-on, homeless (except when he's in jail) boyfriend, Kieffer Delp. After a stint in rehab, Jenelle got new boobs and a new boyfriend.
Leah Messer
Teen Mom 2; 16 & Pregnant 2
Baby daddy: Corey Simms
Twin daughters: Aliannah and Aleeah
Dramz: Leah's rebound relationship with Corey seemed destined for failure when she tried to reconnect with her old boyfriend. Corey was heartbroken (and nearly broke our hearts) over losing Leah and spending less time with his daughters.
Update: Leah filed for divorce six months after her televised Teen Mom wedding to Corey, but the couple celebrated some good news: Doctors assured them that daughter Aliannah, whose developmentalal problems were chronicled on the show, will walk. A year after her divorce was final, Leah remarried.
Chelsea Houska
Teen Mom 2; 16 & Pregnant 2
Baby daddy: Adam Lind
Daughter: Aubree
Dramz: Chelsea lives with her own dad, a single parent who supported his daughter emotionally and financially while her baby daddy cheated and sent abusive texts (e.g., "you fat stretch mark bitch...tell me where and when to sign the rights over for that mistake"—i.e., his daughter).
Update: Even though Chelsea legally changed her daughter's last name (from Lind to Houska), her baby daddy moved in with her—in the house where her dad was paying the rent. Aubree's dad eventually kicked out the freeloader, and the couple split. Forever?
Kailyn Lowry
Teen Mom 2; 16 & Pregnant 2
Baby daddy: Jo Rivera
Son: Isaac
Dramz: Kailyn lives with Jo's sympathetic parents, who are more supportive than their son or her own mother.
Update: Kailyn found her own place and was dating someone else...until she cheated on him with Jo. Related: Shower sex is not STD-proof.
Maci Bookout
Teen Mom; 16 & Pregnant
Son: Bentley
Baby daddy: Ryan Edwards
Dramz: Even though they were engaged and living together, Ryan was an absentee dad who partied with his friends and refused to help with the parenting even when he was home. In Teen Mom he had a turnaround; even though he was living with his parents, he fought Maci for part-time custody of Bentley.
Update: Maci shares custody with Ryan and reportedly broke up with Teen Mom boyfriend Kyle King after two years of dating. It is unclear whether Ryan still lives at home, relying on his parents to babysit while he parties.
Amber Portwood
Teen Mom; 16 & Pregnant
Daughter: Leah
Baby daddy: Gary Shirley
Dramz: Slapped with felony charges of domestic battery and neglect for her on-camera assault of Gary in the presence of Leah, Amber could face three years in the slammer. The high school dropout also notably lost 65 pounds between the filming of 16 and Teen Mom—but with no job and a six-figure salary, guess she's got the time and money for a personal trainer.
Update: Amber's still trying to navigate a rocky road; she spent a day in jail, went to rehab after a reported suicide attempt and recently revealed she suffers from bipolar and dissociative disorders. The good news: After pleading guilty to two counts of domestic battery, she received only two years' probation.
Catelynn Lowell
Teen Mom; 16 & Pregnant
Daughter: Carly
Baby daddy: Tyler Baltierra
Dramz: Catelynn's mom and Tyler's dad—who happen to be married to each other—furiously fought their kids' choice of adoption for their daughter, Carly.
Update: Carly's adoptive parents, N.C. couple Brandon and Teresa, encourage a relationship between their daughter and her birth parents. Catelynn and her stepbrother/boyfriend are living together, graduated high school and attending college.
Farrah Abraham
Teen Mom; 16 & Pregnant
Daughter: Sophia
Baby daddy: Derek Underwood (killed in car accident before her birth)
Dramz: Farrah's mother, Debra Danielson, was charged with assault for choking and hitting her daughter.
Update: They have since reconciled and Debra is very involved in Sophia's caregiving—unlike her baby daddy's family. After graduating from culinary school, Farrah bought boobs and braces and headed off to Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., to work on her tan get her bachelor's degree.
Markai Durham
16 & Pregnant 2
Daughter: Za'Karia
Baby daddy: James
Dramz: James cheated on Markai early in the relationship; like Amber Portwood, Za'Karia expresses her anger by beating on her baby daddy.
Update: "It's called domestic violence" Dr. Drew reminded the couple in a reunion show (apparently Amber Portwood's looming jail sentence isn't warning enough). Markai recently had an abortion after learning she was pregnant again, with her decision documented in a "very special" MTV episode.
Ashley Salazar
16 & Pregnant 2
Baby daddy: Justin Lane
Daughter Callie
Dramz: Ashley famously blogged about her heart-wrenching struggle to give up her baby for adoption so she could go to college in NYC. (Justin, her ex-BF, is MIA.) Her aunt and uncle offer to adopt Callie, and after some waffling she decides that is the best option for her daughter.
Update: After a short stint studying at New York City's prestigious New School, angsty Ashley returned to Texas to be closer to her family (including her daughter) and enrolled at the University of North Texas.
Valerie Fairman
16 & Pregnant 2
Baby daddy: Matt
Daughter: Nevaeh ("heaven" spelled backward)
Dramz: "It's your baby Matt, just like get it through your head—we had sex A LOT!" Valerie's viral video persuaded us, but not Navaeh's baby daddy: It took a DNA test to convince Matt to step up.
Update: Valerie's a junior in her homeschooling program, and she and Naveah still live with Val's adoptive parents and 10 (Or is it 11? Who can keep track?) adopted siblings. After checking out for a while, Matt has moved back to town and committed to Valerie and his daughter. Valerie finally got her driver's license—and she drives A LOT.
Nikkole Paulun
16 & Pregnant 2
Baby daddy: Josh Drummonds
Son: Lyle
Dramz: Nikkole's insufferable, infantile boyfriend clashes with her mother and his behavior—including cheating on his GF—and does nothing to boost his baby mama's already fragile self-esteem. They finally broke up and Josh headed off to—wait for it—jail (for drug charges).
Update: It's a real fairy tale: While her mom babysat Lyle, Nikki returned to high school and resumed cheerleading until—wait for it—Josh was released from jail. She and Lyle now live with him. The end.
Christinna Robinson
16 & Pregnant 2
Baby daddy: Isaiah, football star
Daughter: Destiny
Dramz: Isaiah gave up a football scholarship to marry and support his baby mama; his family, however, loathe Christinna and demanded that she take a DNA test to prove her baby is Isaiah's.
Update: Isaiah's mom, Kathleen Green, told TMZ she wants to sue the network for her bad edit defamation.
Aubrey Wolters
16 & Pregnant 2
Baby daddy: Brandon Carter
Son: Austin
Dramz: Aubrey, a high school dropout, and her baby daddy live with her patient grandma, anxious for the cash-strapped couple to move out before the baby is born. Stand-up guy Brandon even buys a gold-prospecting kit from a smarmy hardware salesman...but the young'uns fail to strike it rich, although they both find minimum-wage jobs.
Update: Although Aubrey managed to pass her GED, she and her hubby split up. In 2011, she was arrested for shoplifting and drug possession, and later treated for a tumor in her throat.
Lizzie Waller
16 & Pregnant 2
Baby daddy: Skylar Sickles
Daughter: Summer
Dramz: After getting pregnant she homeschooled her way to a diploma months before her former classmates, but gave up both music/ultrasound tech career plans to stay home with her baby.
Update: The couple married but still live with her parents, while Skylar works two jobs and Lizze trains at night to be a dental assistant.
Megan McConnell
16 & Pregnant 2
Baby daddy: Nathan
Son: Blake
Dramz: Nathan lives with Megan's military family but does nothing but play video games and nap all day, and no one in the house seems to share our fury at this lazy kid. If anyone needs a drill sergeant to order him around, it's Nathan.
Update: The couple married but later split.
Nicole Fokos
16 & Pregnant 2
Baby daddy: Tyler Keller
Daughter: Brooklyn
Dramz: Nicole lives alone with her supportive mother (her father died when she was young), but Tyler is estranged from his own mother and dropped out of school at age 13.
Update: Nicole and Tyler are still dating, but neither has graduated high school and she still lives with her mom. On the bright side, Nicole has a job at McDonald's, Tyler and his own mother have mended their relationship and he is still rocking that hippie hair.
Samantha Hernandez
16 & Pregnant 2
Baby daddy: Eric Salinas
Daughter: Jordynn
Dramz: After Samantha's mom forbade her daughter from seeing Eric, Eric's mom arranged secret hookups for the couple—which resulted in Samantha's pregnancy. For some reason, the two mothers do not get along.
Update: After moving out with Eric, Samantha and baby Jordynn returned home to live with her mom. Since Samantha and her mom were pregnant at the same time, Samantha's daughter and her baby brother are age-appropriate playmates. Eric has a job at Subway, while Sam works at Best Buy during the weekends. He gave her a promise ring so their love is, like, forever.
Emily McKenzie
16 & Pregnant 2
Baby daddy: Daniel Peterson
Son: Liam
Dramz: Star student and majorette Emily moved in with dad—an hour away from her hometown—after her mom kicked her out for not having abortion. Unfortunately, she was expelled from her new school for violating their absentee policy and had to be homeschooled while her prepubescent-looking baby daddy received a scholarship to Alabama Huntsville.
Update: The couple are married and live in their own apartment; Daniel is studying to be an engineer while Emily hopes to enroll in college herself soon.
Lori Wickelhaus
16 & Pregnant 2
Baby daddy: Cory Haskett
Son: Aidan
Dramz: After what was portrayed as "pressure" from her parents, Lori, an adoptee herself, agreed to an open adoption for baby Aidan.
Update: Lori is in college studying to be an ultrasound technician, and she sees her son monthly. (Her ex, Cory, is not interested in a relationship with his son.) Lori is now initiating a search for her own birth mother.
Brooke Smitherman
16 & Pregnant 2
Baby daddy: Cody Tarrant
Son: Brody
Dramz: The couple, who met at the racetrack, had a nontraditional speedway-themed wedding early in Brooke's pregnancy. Cody managed to graduate early and care for their son so Brooke could finish school herself.
Felicia Cooke
16 & Pregnant 2
Baby daddy: Alex
Daughter: Genesis
Dramz: Before she got pregnant, Felicia's mother was counting on her daughter to be the first in the family to graduate high school.
Update: Felicia reportedly graduated high school in June 2010; the couple are still together and Alex works as a barber.
Kayla Jordan
16 & Pregnant 2
Baby daddy: J.R. Davis
Son: Rylan
Dramz: Kayla doesn't want to move out of her parents' cush home to live with J.R.
Update: Kayla still refuses to set up shop with her baby daddy, but insists she will marry him eventually. Is her refusal a smart move or is she too dependent on her parents?
Ebony Jackson
16 & Pregnant
Daughter: Jocelyn
Baby daddy: Josh Rendon
Dramz: After ordering a DNA test to prove Josh's paternity to his mother—who expressed suspicion about Jocelyn's "dark" skin—Ebony has a better relationship with her now mother-in-law. Yay?
Update: Josh and Ebony graduated high school and married—primarily to comply with military regulations regarding dependents—and Josh joined the Air Force. In fall 2011, the parents were arrested on suspicion of child endangerment and drug-related charges after authorities found them living in disgusting conditions (as in feces, flies and maggots). Two-year-old Jocelyn was removed from their care by child protective services. In April 2012, TMZ reported the couple were pregnant with their second child and fighting to regain custody of Jocelyn.
