Over the past few days, nearly every member of the Teen Mom 2 cast hasn’t had to worry about getting a sunburn.
This is because they’ve had shade hurled at them from practically every direction.
Kailyn Lowry is feuding with Briana DeJesus. Chelsea Houska is storming off reunion sets. Jenelle Evans isn’t showing up for tapings.
Even by the scandalous standards of this MTV series, it’s been quite a wild week.
But not for Javi Marroquin!
Lowry’s baby daddy and Briana’s ex-boyfriend has been pretty darn quiet while chaos breaks out all around him, despite the fact that Kailyn and Briana are basically at odds over him.
(For the record: Javi got divorced from Kailyn in 2016. He then dated DeJesus for a few months toward the end of 2017.
Sources now claim that Lowry admitted at this past weekend’s Teen Mom 2 reunion that she and Javi hooked up shortly after his romance with Briana ended.)
Indeed, while most of the women on Teen Mom 2 are at each other’s throats right now, Javi has been sort of sitting back and staying out of it.
Until, that is, he sat down with MTV on Monday night as part of the Teen Mom 2 after-show.
He was asked in this Q&A about yet another romance, his latest, the one that started with yet another ex-girlfriend just a couple months ago.
Is he really back together with Lauren Comeau?
Yes.
For the first time in public, Marroquin has acknowledged this relationship.
“Me and Lauren dated last summer, but it was just bad timing and we both had a lot going on,” Marroquin revealed, adding:
“And then we just rekindled, she texted me, and we were talking for a little bit. Then we hung out and the chemistry was still there, and now we’re together.”
Why would Comeau take Javi back, following chatter last year that he cheated on her?
We can’t say. But he says it won’t happen again.
When the MTV host mentioned last night that Marroquin moves quickly from relationship to relationship, the reality star didn’t dispute this assessment.
“I’m trying to get over the ex,” he said rather candidly.
We assume this was a reference to DeJesus, only because he and Lowry split such a long time ago.
It was seen as a pretty big deal back when Briana and Javi started dating, but the romance didn’t last long.
It concluded in January; not on the worst terms of all-time, but not on the most amicable, either.
“Javi and I are not together anymore,” DeJesus told Blasting News at the time, adding:
“Our future just doesn’t line up. He doesn’t want me to get my surgery for a breast lift, lipo, and tummy tuck because it’ll look bad on his name at work.
“Also, I don’t plan on moving in with him in the summer and for these reasons, he broke up with me.”
Added Marroquin several weeks ago, following this Briana break-up:
“Unfortunately it didn’t work out for us. Bri is an amazing person with the biggest heart I’ve ever got to hold. Everything she goes through and she’s still selfless and does her best to please others.
“She’s got a bright future and she’ll make any guy feel special.”
Wow, huh?
Should Lauren be a little jealous here?
Maybe. But things appear pretty serious between Javi and Comeau, considering they actually went on vacation with the former’s son.
Will they actually get married and buy a house together, as Briana claims Javi wanted to do with her?
Only time will tell.
