We’ve known for quite some time that Briana DeJesus will be joining the cast of Teen Mom 2.
(Like her co-stars, Briana’s not great at keeping secrets.)
But it wasn’t until last night that DeJesus made her return official by announcing it on the network that made her famous.
Briana was one of the stars of the first and only season of Teen Mom 3 back in 2013.
Producers reportedly considered several options with regard to which one of the ladies to bring back to the franchise, but ultimately decided that Briana and her daughter Nova had the most to offer in terms of compelling drama.
The 23-year-old also confirmed another important detail during last night’s Teen Mom: OG after-show:
Briana is pregnant with her second child, a baby girl that she plans to name Stella.
“I really wanted a boy, but there’s not much I can do,” she told last night’s audience.
“I’m just excited now because it’s going to be a bunch of females under one roof. It’s all of us—me, my mother, my sister, Nova and now Stella.”
Briana says fans will get a very different impression of her this time around, as motherhood has made her more responsible and more aware of what’s important in her life.
“[Nova’s] 5, and she can watch back,” Briana said of her first stint as a reality star.
“She can see now. That’s my number one regret. I was so naïve, so caught up, so stupid. Now, I’ve learned better.”
Unfortunately, there are some things Briana can’t control, and it seems that despite her best efforts, baby daddy drama is still a big part of her life:
“He’s not the best father he should be to Nova,” Briana said bluntly, when asked about her the father of her first child.
Unfortunately, it looks as though things may not be much better with her second baby daddy, Luis.
“I don’t know how to say it,” Briana tells her mother and sister in a preview clip that debuted last night. “He’s been cheating on me this whole time.”
Some of her co-stars are not happy about Briana joining the cast of Teen Mom 2, but judging from the response on social media, it seems fans are psyched about a fresh face on the long-running series.
And based on what we saw last night, it seems she should have no trouble delivering the drama that both audiences and producers crave.
