Teen Mom fans have followed the Marroquin family’s highs and lows for years — from Javi Marroquin’s rollercoaster relationships to the arrival of new family members. But nothing brought fans more collective joy than seeing the family come together this week to celebrate little Maizee’s first birthday. It was more than a party — it was a full-circle moment of love, growth, and new beginnings.
Javi Marroquin, who rose to fame on Teen Mom 2, shared a series of adorable photos and videos on Instagram from the celebration, which featured pastel balloons, a unicorn-themed cake, and Maizee herself wearing a glittery “ONE” crown that stole the show. The post read simply: “One year of Maizee Joy. The light of our lives.”
For fans, this wasn’t just a birthday — it was a testament to how far the Marroquin family has come. The early years of Javi’s Teen Mom journey were anything but smooth. His very public divorce from Kailyn Lowry played out in front of cameras, along with custody struggles and new relationship drama. But over time, viewers have seen a noticeable shift in Javi — from a hot-headed young dad to a more grounded, devoted father.
His current partner and Maizee’s mom, Lauren Comeau, was also present at the party, and although the couple has had their fair share of ups and downs, this event seemed to mark a peaceful moment in their co-parenting journey. Lauren shared her own tribute to Maizee with the caption: “You’ve changed our world, sweet girl. We love you more than words.” The message was accompanied by a video montage of Maizee’s first year — from hospital cuddles to first steps and birthday giggles.
The event also reunited family members who had been somewhat distant in recent months. Javi’s eldest son, Lincoln (whom he shares with Kailyn), was seen doting on his baby sister, proving once again that the Marroquin bond runs deep. Fans were quick to comment on how heartwarming it was to see the siblings together, with many praising the family for putting their children first despite personal challenges.
Teen Mom viewers, who have grown up alongside these stars, appreciated the sincerity of the celebration. No flashy drama, no over-the-top extravagance — just a beautiful day centered around a baby girl whose arrival has clearly brought healing and joy into the lives of everyone around her.
As the Marroquins move forward, Maizee’s birthday serves as a gentle reminder of what matters most: family, love, and resilience. Whether they’re on camera or off, it’s clear this family is writing a new chapter — and this one starts with a whole lot of cake, laughter, and a one-year-old girl who’s already got a fanbase of her own.
