Since leaving Teen Mom 2 in 2022, Kail Lowry has pumped out podcasts, nabbed herself a new partner and pushed out three more babies, though she revealed this week that the latter two actually played a significant role in her leaving the MTV series, unbeknownst to viewers.
As you may remember, Kail got into a heated argument with ‘Teen Mom 2’ producers during the show’s Season 11 finale, later confirming on Facebook that her time on the series was finally over.
On a recent episode of the Just Trish podcast, Kail told host Trisha Paytas that, while she had been ready to leave ‘Teen Mom 2’ long before announcing her departure, it was her relationship with then-boyfriend Elijah Scott, to whom she is now engaged, as well as her surprise pregnancy with her son Rio that made her ultimately exit the show.
“Yeah, I left in 2022 when I got pregnant with my fifth son because I was like, I can’t, we’re not doing this,” she said.
Kail also revealed that she, in no way, was ready to have a child with Elijah at the time she got pregnant, as they had only recently started dating.
“It was like, we did not plan to get pregnant. It was the first time I slept with him,” she said.
“So also, that, and we had just developed a relationship,” she continued. “So, I was like, this is just a lot for one person.”
As fans know, Kail and Elijah welcomed their first child Rio in November 2022 after keeping the pregnancy (and birth) hidden from the public for a long time. The couple welcomed twins Verse and Valley in late 2023. Kail also shares son Isaac with Jo; 10-year-old Lincoln with ex-husband Javi Marroquin; and sons Lux, 7, and Creed, 4, with ex Chris Lopez.
Kail noted on the podcast that another reason she decided to leave the show in 2022 was the fact that her own podcasts had become “super successful” and she was bringing in more money from that venture than she was from ‘Teen Mom 2’– something she mentioned on the show prior to her exit.
“ … I couldn’t justify the stress that I was going through for ‘Teen Mom,’” she said.
The mom of seven also mentioned her frustration over ‘Teen Mom 2’ producers wanting her to talk about her relationships with her children’s fathers on camera– another thing fans saw her express annoyance over leading up to her exit. Kail called the baby daddy discussions “old and tired,” insisting that she had “other drama” she could’ve talked about on the show instead. According to Kail, however, producers weren’t willing to listen to those suggestions.
“ … I’m like, there’s so much trauma [in my past] like, y’all would love it,” Kail said.
Despite her frustration over how things ultimately turned out for her on ‘Teen Mom 2,’ Kail said she’s open to making a return to reality TV, revealing on the podcast that she’s “under contract somewhere else.”
“So you can do your own [reality show]?” Trisha asked, to which Kail replied, “Yeah, hopefully, if someone buys it. Somebody buy my show.”
Kail went on to say that reality TV isn’t something Elijah necessarily has a desire to pursue, before going on to joke about her fiancé’s reserved personality and the fact that “he doesn’t express anything on his face.”
“ … There’s rumors that like, I hold him hostage and stuff,” she said. “I’m like, I don’t know if he should be on TV, you know what I mean? Like, I don’t know if it would be good or bad, so we’ll see.”
As The Ashley previously told you, Kail spoke about a possible reality TV return in an interview with People magazine last year, claiming she was “interesting enough” to draw an audience.
“I do think that I have proved that I have the capability to be on a reality show and be interesting enough for people to watch,” she said. “I think people would be very interested to see the dynamic behind the scenes of podcasting, especially when it’s really saturated and people don’t like each other.
“There’s a lot of cattiness that people don’t realize, and so I think that would be a really interesting show,” she added.

I definitely won’t watch a show about her podcasts.
She still talks like a 16 year old. She thinks she’s deep, but she’s not.
She doesn’t drunk or do drugs, but she thrives on choas. She gets off on treating people, mostly men, like crap.
Oh God pls no.
No one asked for this and no she cannot carry her own show.
Sorry Elijah but soon you will be in the same boat as the rest of her babies fathers, yep, she’s gonna trash talk you soon. You know what they say, “A hoe’s spots never change.”
i mean good for her 🤷🏻♀️ because yall would’ve b!tched about that too if she made elijah film
She has done very well for herself and her kids. At least she’s not an idiot who doesn’t realize they have to pay taxes. She seems to treat her kids very well. I know everyone wants to mouth off. I don’t think people realize what she has gone through. She at least broke the cycle of abuse, abandonment and alcoholism. I’m sure people will downvote me. I grew up in extreme abuse. So, I probably feel a bit more sympathetic to her.
