Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant premiered on the 12th of March 2018 and is a spinoff of the Teen Mom franchise. With Lexi being a part of the five teenage girls cast in the first season, she stood out for lovers of the show for several reasons.

For one, she was deemed the most mature of the teenage moms on the show, especially due to her cool demeanor, maturity, mothering skills, and level-headedness. Her story also played a role in endearing her many viewers.

From the show, it was gleaned that Lexi Tatman lived in a small town with her mother, stepfather, and younger brother. Her life was normal for a girl her age until she was impregnated by her on-and-off boyfriend Kyler, just before she got into her high school junior year. Her boyfriend had difficulties coming to terms with the fact that he was going to become a father at a young age and wasn’t ready to commit to Lexi.

Despite dealing with the criticism that comes with living in a small town and falling pregnant at a young age, Lexi took it all in stride and unlike the other expectant mothers who were trying to juggle motherhood and active social life, Lexi opted for a family time which further endeared her to lovers of the show. Thus, it came as a surprise to many who learned that the teen mom won’t be returning for the next season of the show.

Lexi Tatman was fired from the show for being boring

Ironically, the main reason why Lexi is well-loved on the show is the same basis on which she will no longer be on the show. According to several sources, Lexi was fired from the show because she was deemed boring. She was said to have too little drama in her life and family to keep her on the show. Apparently, it boils down to the fact that her story is not worthy of the show and what the producers are trying to portray.

Compared to the other moms who experienced domestic violence and had to deal with partners and family members suffering from drug addiction and other problems, Lexi’s major problem centered around her relationship with Kyle which led to a breakup at some point. There is also her parents’ disapproval of their relationship. Still, all these didn’t spice things up for the show and it is perceived that she has a semblance of balance in her life and relationship which was lacking in others.

What she has been up to since leaving the show

Lexi, unlike her fans, appears to be adjusting to her exit from the show quite well. While on the show, she garnered massive followership on social media and continues to use her page to keep her fans abreast of happenings in her life.

As regards her relationship, Lexi is still very much involved with Kyle as the duo welcomed their second son in August 2019. For personal reasons,  Lexi chose not to share or document her pregnancy journey on any of her social media pages after her very public first pregnancy.

The good thing is that Lexi didn’t allow getting axed from the show to affect her post-graduation plans. She managed to graduate early and has also gone ahead to graduate from a nail tech school. Even though she chose not to attend her graduation ceremony, she celebrated at home and shared the good news on her page.

Her large followership on social media has made her a target for online bullying but Lexi has handled it all in her stride and continues to rise above the hateful comments. Getting pregnant in high school didn’t stop her from finishing her studies and even equipping herself with skills afterward. It is apparent that the future is bright for this Teen Mom star and it doesn’t matter what cyber trolls have to say.

She is young and already has two kids. All her life, Lexi has been linked to only one partner and though their relationship shakes a lot, they always find a way back to each other.

Relationship timeline with Kyle Lopez

Lexi has had a tumultuous relationship with Kyle Lopez since junior high school before falling pregnant by him at age 17. The duo who are age mates met as 8th graders. Despite expecting a baby together, this didn’t do much to improve their relationship initially as Kyle was skeptical about committing himself to a family at such a young age. The duo broke up and got back together several times before finally deciding to make things work for the sake of their love for each other and their children.

Moreover, Lexi and Kyle seem to be taking their relationship to the next level as Kyle finally proposed in November 2020. A very elated Lexi has been sharing pictures of her ring on her social media pages and reiterated that she knew when she was 13 that she was going to marry Kyle.

They are parents to two children

Lexi and Kyle are parents to 2 lovely boys. They welcomed their first son – Tobias Ryker on the 29th of October, 2017. The first time was documented on TV for the world to see and viewers loved her courage while undergoing such trying times at such a young age.

On the 26th of August 2019, Lexi Tatman announced via Instagram that they had welcomed another baby boy. Their first child Tobias became a big brother to Jay Wolfe but this time, it was not documented on TV. This is probably because she was no longer on the Teen Mom show at the time or she just chose to keep it private.
