Teen Mom’s Tyler Baltierra and Catelynn Lowell Explain Adoption Choice and Current Challenges
The stars of Teen Mom, who made the significant choice of placing Carly for adoption in 2009 before they had their other children Nova, 10, Vaeda, 6, and Rya, 3, have shared insights into the origins of their strained relationship with Teresa and Brandon Davis.
Origins of the Dispute: Social Media Posts
According to Catelynn Lowell, the issues began when she and Tyler posted pictures from a visit with Carly a couple of years prior. These photographs on social media became a point of contention.
Details of the Disputed Images
“It was a picture of all of us walking, you could only see our backs,” Catelynn clarified, speaking on the April 1 episode of their PodcastOne show, Cate & Ty: Break It Down. “Then Tyler put up another one – it was him, Carly and Nova, and their backs were to the camera as well.”
Adoptive Parents’ Reaction to Shared Photos
Catelynn and Tyler Baltierra, both aged 33, recounted that Teresa and Brandon Davis addressed their concerns about these publicly shared images, despite what the couple believed was an existing understanding about photograph permissions. Tyler explained the specifics of the alleged prior agreement, stating, “They had said we could only show the back of her head. If you couldn’t see her face, they were okay with it.”
