Can you believe we"ve been keeping up with those wild and crazy kids from Teen Mom 2 for eight whole years now?!
It may be hard to believe, but it"s true — we met Kailyn Lowry, Chelsea Houska, Leah Messer, and Jenelle Evans on the second season of 16 and Pregnant, which aired in 2010.
Teen Mom 2 premiered at the beginning of 2011, and we"ve been following these ladies ever since.
And, great news, it looks like we"ll be able to continue following them just as closely, because the show just got renewed for another season!
The only thing is, MTV cameras might not be returning to Jenelle"s sinking swamp house ever again …
1. The Moms!
OK, just look at this picture and then imagine Briana DeJesus crammed in there somewhere, because by the time she joined the cast, the other women hated Jenelle too much to take a big group photo — here’s our girls!
2. Doing Great
MTV is currently airing the second half of the eighth season — it’s a little confusing, but it’s that lame thing they do to stretch out contracts. So we’re in season 8B officially.
3. So. Much. Drama
There’s been plenty of drama so far, including Briana’s relationship with Javi Marroquin, Kailyn’s ex-husband. They started dating, got matching tattoos, and he halfway proposed to her!
4. Looking Good, Leah!
Leah and her children have been adorable as always, but there’s been some question as to whether or not she’ll get back with Jeremy Calvert this season, which isn’t so cute.
5. Oh Hey, Kail!
Kailyn’s had a lot going on — she’s been working out custody arrangements with both Jo Rivera and Chris Lopez, and we’ve also seen a glimpse of her relationship with Dom Potter.
6. Awww, Chelsea!
Chelsea’s actually had a lot going on, too, which isn’t like her — the first part of the season saw her dealing with Adam Lind in court, but now we’re getting into her pregnancy!
