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.
