Earlier this week, Teen Mom 2 Twitter was abuzz with reports that Javi Marroquin and Brittany DeJesus are dating.
Marroquin, of course, is the ex-husband of Kailyn Lowry, one of the show’s most high-profile cast members.
Brittany is the sister of Briana DeJesus, who will be added to the cast for the Teen Mom 2’s upcoming season.
The news of a Javi-Brittany romance meant Briana would easily fulfill her promise to bring the show to new heights in terms of drama.
Many fans stated that they were happy for the apparent couple, as despite some erratic behavior in the wake of his divorce (such as the time he entered Kailyn’s home without permission), Javi’s become something of an audience favorite over the years.
It’s not hard to see how fans arrived at the conclusion that Javi and Britttany are an item.
After all, the two spent much of last weekend together, with Javi documenting their wild night on the town on Snapchat.
Javi’s final Brittany-related post seemed to leave little doubt that the two of them are at least hooking up, if not dating:
Now, however, Brittany is throwing cold water on the dreams of Javitney ‘shippers, stating in no uncertain terms that she is not dating anyone – and has no desire to be in a relationship:
“I’m 100% single not trying to mingle,” Brittany tweeted yesterday.
“Y’all really wanna know about my love life. I’ll tell you myself. It’s non existent.”
Javi confirmed that he and Brittany are just friends in a statement he issued to Radar Online:
“Absolutely not,” Javi said in regard to rumors that he and Brittany are a couple.
Explaining their trip to Los Angeles together, Javi said only:
“We had some business in LA together.”
So it looks like Javi is still on the market.
Brittany is too, but it sounds like she’s really not looking for any romance at the moment.
Even though Javi and Brittany aren’t dating, however, this situation probably won’t do much to ease the rumored tension between Kailyn and Briana.
Watch Teen Mom 2 online to get caught up on what’s certain to be an action-packed season.
