Kail Lowry won’t be walking down the aisle to marry fiancé Elijah Scott this month as planned, though the former Teen Mom 2 star insists the wedding will eventually happen.
As you know, Kail announced in August that she had accepted a marriage proposal from her fourth baby daddy, with whom she shares son Rio and 11-month-old twins Verse and Valley. While Kail told E! News that she had intended for her and Elijah to tie the knot in September, that plan was put on hold after Lincoln– the 10-year-old son she shares with ex-husband Javi Marroquin– was invited to play soccer in Madrid.
“There’s just so much happening,” Kail told the outlet. “I was like, ‘OK, we need to focus on that right now and then we’ll revisit the wedding date situation when we get back.’
“How soon we get married depends on the day that you ask me now,” she added.
Last month, Javi shared on social media that Lincoln received an invitation to play soccer in Spain after attending a Real Madrid camp locally. (Lincoln’s younger brother Eli, whom Javi shares with fiancée Lauren Comeau, also received an invitation to play in Madrid.)
Kail– who is also mom to son Isaac with ex Jo Rivera and sons Lux and Creed with Chris Lopez– also admitted that she’s being very particular when it comes to selecting her potential wedding date.
“Anyone that knows me knows that I’m very weird about my dates,” she said, noting that she even asked her doctor last year to push her C-section for Verse and Valley back by 15 minutes in order for the twins to be born on the day she preferred. “[My OB/GYN] was like, ‘Absolutely not.’”
Though Kail and Elijah won’t be getting married this month, Kail said the month of September— in 2025— is still an option for their big day.
“When we get married, it would have to be April or September because there’s nothing else going on big date-wise in those months,” she explained. “I know that sounds sort of crazy, but I’m also sort of crazy, so it’s fine. And [it] is just part of the chaos.”
According to Kail, her future husband manages said-chaos very well.
“I don’t know how Elijah just seamlessly folded into this chaos and he handles it so well,” she said. “I think he was like, ‘OK, if we’re going to make this work, I’m just going to do it, no questions asked and just figure it out as we go.’”
Prior to announcing her engagement, Kail claimed on her podcasts that Elijah had proposed to her “so many times,” but she had never accepted. After finally saying “yes,” Kail admitted that she hadn’t taken Elijah seriously during those previous proposals because he didn’t have a ring when he asked. In the past, Kail also expressed her reluctance to marry her fourth baby daddy, due to her first marriage ending in divorce.
When confirming her engagement on her Coffee Convos podcast, Kail gave Elijah props for popping the question in such a “casual” way, noting that because they’ve both been married before, neither her nor Elijah “care about the whole, ‘get on one knee and make it all romantic and stuff.’”
“Because that’s just not how we are … ,” she said. “He came into the bathroom one day while I was getting ready and he gave me the ring … I was like, ‘Oh my God, thank you!’”
While she may not be saying “I do” to Elijah this month, Kail told E! that Elijah is still “her person,” and encouraged other single parents to keep looking for theirs.
“We all have the moments where we’re overwhelmed and it’s like, I just need that extra person,” she said. “And I truly hope that any single parent that is struggling with that, your time is going to come. You’re going to meet someone that is going to come and be your person.”

I can’t believe there are bitter people here criticizing Javi and/or Kail for sending their kid to play soccer in Spain. They can pay for it and it’s always cool to visit another country. If you could afford it, you would do it too
I agree. Many families in the US won’t get the chance to travel overseas. I think if soccer is something he enjoys doing, and the parents have the funds, I don’t see the issue with him going. I don’t think talent is the top factor because of his age, but I’m sure he’s got some skill in the sport.
Why does it sound like she thinks she’s doing him a favor by marrying him?
There’s nothing special about those kids soccer skills and it’s pretty annoying that Kail and Javi are over here acting like they got a contract to play for the team. Everyone that can kick the ball and pay for the privilege to be there is invited lol.
if she does marry him, it will be another divorce, and more restraining orders.
These overseas camps are a huge money grab.
Yes it’s a great experience, the immersion into Spain and all but it’s not free and it’s not a trial to play professional ball or scholarships or anything.
And the folks who run the camp that the reality TV star’s kid went to, know they can afford it.
Was about to post a similar cynical comment. No 5 year old is talented enough to get selected for any international team.
She’s so extra I’m surprised she just doesn’t turn this into a Spain wedding.
Actually I’m not surprised, it’s because she doesn’t want to get married.
Idk but ever since the drama died way down, I’m finding Kail to be much more likable.
