According to People, Catelynn Lowell, star of "16 and Pregnant" and "Teen Mom OG" was the only cast member to give up her child for adoption. Lowell grew up in a trailer park, along with then-boyfriend Tyler Baltierra. Fame 10 chronicles the couple's struggles with juvenile court, alcohol, drugs, addicted parents, and molestation. When Lowell discovered she was pregnant the decision to adopt quickly became the clear choice. The couple's 2015 book, "Conquering Chaos," details their lives both together and apart.
According to People, Lowell and Baltierra first got together when they were in the seventh grade at the age of twelve. Five years later after daughter Carly was born, Baltierra proposed to Lowell, but the engagement didn't last. In 2014 during the MTV feature, "Being Lowell" Baltierra proposed again giving Lowell a ring with a special diamond to celebrate their soon-to-be baby girl, Novalee Reign who was born in 2015. In 2019, their daughter Vaeda Luma was born, and in 2021 they had their fourth daughter Rya, named after "Rya The Last Dragon" (via People).
After Lowell gave birth to Nova she suffered from postpartum depression and was in and out of treatment. Her mental health struggles were also triggered by two miscarriages. During her last pregnancy she nicknamed Rya her "rainbow baby." "This baby is our rainbow after the storm," she told Us Weekly. Through many tragedies, crises, and hardships the couple has always found their way back to each other.
