It’s been two months since Kailyn Lowry confirmed that she’s separated from Javi Marroquin.
Thus far, it seems the split has been mostly amicable, with Javi making a FaceTime appearance on the Teen Mom 2 reunion special from Qatar (where he’s currently stationed with the U.S. Air Force) to apologize to Kailyn for not being more supportive in the months following her recent miscarriage.
Of course, shortly after the show aired, Javi accused Kailyn of cheating on him on Twitter, so the split might not be as peaceful as the former couple originally anticipated.
Several insiders have suggested that Lowry and Marroquin are in for an ugly divorce, and it looks like we’ll soon find out if that’s true.
Radar Online is reporting today that Javi is soon to return to the States after seven months of deployment – and he and Kailyn are planning to legally finalize their split shortly thereafter.
The first order of business, however, will be spending time together as a family.
“His first priority is seeing his family and spending time with the boys,” a source close to Lowry told Radar.
Javi hasn’t seen his son, Lincoln, since December.
He also cares for Isaac, Kailyn’s son by Jo Rivera, as his own, and he recently described the boy as his best friend.
So it’s a good sign that Kailyn is putting her kids first and making sure that their father (or father figure, as the case may be) remains an important part of their lives.
Of course, one insider thinks Kailyn may have a different agenda in mind:
“Javi and Kail are planning on spending time together as a family to see if their relationship can be fixed,” says one source.
Sure. That’s an idea.
Of course, another, more sane idea is not staying together for the kids, but this one makes for better TV.
