Major Life Events and Explosive Drama in 2025
The year 2025 has been pivotal for the cast members, with several stars reaching significant milestones and engaging in high-profile conflicts that have spilled over from the screen to social media.
Cheyenne Floyd’s Baby News and Growing Family
One of the most heartwarming stories of the year came from Cheyenne Floyd Davis. The mother of two announced in May 2025 that she was pregnant with her third child. Cheyenne and her husband, Zach Davis, welcomed their new baby in December 2025, adding another member to their blended family that already includes daughter Ryder, whom Cheyenne shares with ex-boyfriend Cory Wharton. This new chapter has cemented Cheyenne's role as a key figure in the next generation of Teen Mom stars.
Amber Portwood’s New Man and Co-Star Feuds
Amber Portwood's personal life remains a constant source of drama. After breaking off her engagement to Gary Wayt in 2024, Amber confirmed in 2025 that she is now dating a new man. However, the most explosive news came from her unhinged TikTok Lives in October 2025, where she publicly slammed her Teen Mom co-stars. Amber claimed she had "protected them" for years and "could ruin" their lives, escalating long-simmering tensions within the cast and taunting them for not having outside careers.
Co-Parenting Breakthroughs and Career Pivots
While the drama captures headlines, several OG cast members are achieving stability in their relationships and making notable shifts in their careers outside of reality TV.
Maci Bookout and Ryan Edwards: A Rare Peace
Maci Bookout and her ex, Ryan Edwards, have one of the most tumultuous co-parenting histories in the franchise, centered around their son, Bentley Edwards. In a rare and significant update in June 2025, Maci and Ryan gave a joint interview on the Dad Up podcast, discussing a newfound peace and improvement in their co-parenting relationship. This breakthrough comes as Bentley turns 17 and is increasingly involved in his own life, even campaigning for Maci to appear on The Challenge. Maci and her husband, Taylor McKinney, also celebrated their 9th wedding anniversary, highlighting the stability in her current family life.
Catelynn and Tyler Baltierra’s Emotional Journey and New Documentary
Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra, the couple who bravely chose adoption for their first daughter, Carly, continue to share their emotional journey. In 2025, they were forced to address a highly controversial situation where they had texted with Carly's "minor" friend, which they explained was done out of "desperation" to get updates on their daughter. This emotional struggle remains a central theme in their lives.
In a major career switch-up, Tyler Baltierra announced he is working on a documentary project titled All, signaling a move into more serious production and content creation outside of the Teen Mom bubble. Catelynn, meanwhile, continues to be an outspoken advocate for mental health awareness, often discussing her own struggles with anxiety and depression.
The Future of the Franchise: Is Teen Mom: The Next Chapter Ending?
The biggest question looming over the cast and fans is the status of the show itself. As the stars age and their children grow up, the "Teen Mom" title feels increasingly dated. In November 2025, Catelynn Lowell gave fans a direct update on the show's future, revealing what the cast was recently told about the potential for cancellation or renewal.
While the specifics of the network's decision remain under wraps, the cast continues to film, suggesting that MTV is committed to following their lives for the foreseeable future, perhaps under a new title or format. The current ensemble cast includes all the OG stars—Maci Bookout, Catelynn Baltierra, Amber Portwood, Leah Messer, and the newer additions like Cheyenne Floyd, Briana DeJesus, Jade Cline, and Ashley Jones. The longevity of the franchise relies on the continued dramatic, yet relatable, storylines of co-parenting, marriage, career changes, and personal growth that these women continue to provide for a dedicated audience on both MTV and Paramount Plus.
