Briana DeJesus

Cast Member

Briana is a 26-year-old who lives with her strong-willed mother, Roxanne, and her opinionated sister, Brittany, in sunny Orlando, FL. In high school, Briana became pregnant with her daughter Nova and struggled to navigate parenthood with Nova's father, Devoin. When Nova was six, Briana met DJ Luis and became pregnant again. Shortly after she ended things with Luis, baby Stella was born. Luis was not around for his daughter, and Briana had a sense of deja vu, having gone through the same thing with Devoin. Years later, Devoin has been making a more consistent effort as a father, but he still has some work to do -- he recently forgot to pick Nova up from gymnastics, leaving her alone in a parking lot late at night. Meanwhile, Luis remains a disappointment in Briana’s eyes, only seeing Stella a few times a year. Despite Devoin and Luis' shortcomings, Briana knows what it's like to grow up with an absent father and continues to fight for the dads to step up so her girls won't ever feel like she did as a child.

On this season of "Teen Mom 2," Jade's relationships are put under tremendous strain when she goes to Miami for plastic surgery. Her family comes along to support her, but instead, chaos ensues.

Kail Lowry

Kail is a motivated and independent mother from a small town in Pennsylvania. As a teenager with no support from her family, she moved in with her boyfriend Jo after becoming pregnant with Isaac -- but the fighting with Jo got so out of control that Kail and Isaac moved out on their own. Kail eventually met Javi, a military man, and the two quickly married and had baby Lincoln. After cheating rumors plagued their relationship, Kail and Javi divorced, and Kail fell in love with a man who doesn't want to be on the show. Despite the couple's ups and downs, Kail is steadfast on being a great mom to their two sons, Lux and Creed, without the help of their father. On this season of "Teen Mom 2," Kail is still having trouble co-parenting with her sons' fathers but is hopeful that her new house, closer to Jo and Javi, will solve her problems and bring her peace.

Leah Messer

Former cheerleader Leah had her twins, Aliannah Hope ("Ali") and Aleeah Grace ("Gracie"), when she was just 17. From a small town in West Virginia, Leah sacrificed a lot for her kids, and things got even harder when Ali developed medical issues. Ali was eventually diagnosed with a rare form of muscular dystrophy and is being monitored as she grows. Leah tried to make things work for her daughters by marrying their dad, Corey, but the marriage didn't last, and the couple divorced six months later. Leah tried to move on by marrying Jeremy, who'd become the father of her third daughter, Adalynn ("Addie") -- but Jeremy's job forced him to be away for long stretches of time, and he eventually filed for divorce. After a few rough years, Leah's co-parenting relationships with both dads are in a good place, but with COVID-19 threatening her family, Leah has to decide how to keep an immuno-compromised Ali safe while still prioritizing the emotional well-being of all her daughters. Leah doesn’t have the luxury of getting pandemic fatigue and must be vigilant for the sake of her family.

He and Chelsea were off and on for years, but Chelsea met Cole and found the happily ever after she'd been searching for. She and Cole got married, had son Watson and daughter Layne, and bought a plot of land on which they plan to build their dream home.

With all the new, exciting additions, Aubree is growing up, too. Chelsea and Cole must parent her through her preteen years -- everything from getting a cell phone and braces to no longer wanting to visit Adam's parents' house.

As Adam moves further out of Aubree's life, unable to make scheduled visits or even school lunches, Chelsea and Cole must instead co-parent with his parents. When Aubree asks to spend less time with them, Chelsea must decide if it's time to revise their visitation agreement and possibly go back to court.
