Days before Javi Marroquin took his recent baby mama drama with ex-wife Kail Lowry to the interwebs, the former ‘Teen Mom 2’ dad opened up on social media about the steps he and his new wife Lauren Comeau took before giving their relationship another shot.
As fans know, Javi and Lauren tied the knot in April, nearly a year after welcoming daughter Maizee. The couple are also parents to son Eli, while Javi shares 11-year-old son Lincoln with Kail.
While Javi and Lauren seem to be thriving as a couple today, that wasn’t always the case. The two share a long history full of break-ups, make-ups, a broken engagement and a public cheating scandal. ‘Teen Mom 2’ fans likely remember Kail even throwing Javi under the bus years ago for inviting her to partake in some pumping at the WaWa gas station that didn’t involve gas. Javi and Lauren were also involved in a domestic dispute that ended with Javi calling the cops on Lauren in July 2021.
When asked during a recent Instagram Q&A if he and Lauren had turned to therapy to work through their past issues, Javi revealed that they both sought individual therapy for more than a year after calling it quits. Javi also said that once he and Lauren decided to rekindle their relationship, they dated for a year before moving back in together.
“We wanted to make sure it was right,” he explained, before sharing that he and Lauren also did couples therapy together. “[We’re] the strongest we’ve ever been and a lot of that is because of the individual work.”
As The Ashley previously told you, Javi sold his home and moved back in with Lauren in June 2023. Four months later, the pair got engaged for the second time and while they kept that news a secret from the public for a year, they announced in late 2023 that Lauren was pregnant with their second child.
Back in March, Javi (shockingly) reunited with his first wife to record an episode of her Barely Famous podcast, during which the exes discussed their coparenting relationship and revealed to listeners that Javi– who’s a recruiter in the United States Air Force Reserve– had been stationed in Virginia and would be moving out of Delaware this summer.
While most of the podcast episode focused on the coparenting of Lincoln, Javi also addressed his issue with Kail making jokes about their, um, “interactions” at the WaWa– interactions that allegedly went down while Lauren was pregnant with Eli– revealing that, while it’s funny for Kail, it causes “a lot of pain” between he and Lauren. As a result, Kail vowed to cease her petty petrol posting; however, she resumed making WaWa wisecracks a day or so after Javi’s Instagram Live rant.
