It’s been over a year since Kailyn Lowry split from Javi Marroquin, but Teen Mom 2 fans are still wondering what caused such a seemingly healthy marriage to fall apart so quickly.
Obviously, Javi’s overseas deployment with the US Air Force put a strain on the relationship, but one persistent rumor about the straw that broke the camel’s back has plagued Kailyn since the time of her divorce.
And it seems she’s finally willing to set the record straight.
Speaking with E! News, the mother of three flat-out denied engaging in any infidelity while Javi was overseas.
“Okay, I’m just going to say it because I already started. There’s like a whole misconception that I cheated on Javi while he was deployed, which is super frustrating because that’s not the case,” she stated.
“It just makes for good TV, drama and ratings. I’m just biting the bullet every time but it isn’t true.”
Kailyn’s critics will likely be quick to point out that she never said she didn’t cheat on Javi at all during their marriage.
She only said she didn’t cheat while he was overseas.
We don’t think Kailyn meant to take advantage of that semantic loophole, but TM2 fans and their suspicions are not easily parted.
As for where Lowry and Marroquin stand these days … well, it’s tough to say.
Recently, there were rumors of Kailyn and Javi getting back together, and the fact that neither party addressed the reports publicly only added fuel to the fire.
A full reconciliation seems unlikely, however.
Kailyn welcomed her third child last month, and Javi has been open about the new addition complicating his co-parenting relationship with his ex-wife.
Even if the two of them wanted to get back together, we doubt that Kailyn would have the time or energy.
Of course, her co-star, Briana DeJesus is also a single mom, and that hasn’t stopped rumors that Javi and Briana are dating.
Yes, Marroquin may have actually made the leap from one TM2 star to another.
It’s developments like that that explain the show’s ongoing popularity.
This stuff is way more dramatic than any soap opera on TV.
Watch Teen Mom 2 online to relive the rocky road that led Kailyn and Javi to where they are today.
