I was zooming around the world wide web lookin' for some buzz when I came across some actual good, positive news!
That positive news was about one of the OG teen moms, Jenelle.
Jenelle posted a video of her signing custody papers for her son Jace.
Jenelle's mom Barbara was given custody of Jace 10 years ago, and Jace has remained in her custody until last week.
While I am very happy for Jenelle, I was very upset for myself when I found out that Jenelle's son is now 13.
Yep, the teen moms have teens of their own now.
😫
In celebration of our old age, let's see what the original teen moms are up to in 2023.
Let's start with Maci and her son Bentley.
Maci was originally with that guy Ryan...
...and they were v. miserable.
This is what Maci and Bentley looked like way back when:
And here's what Maci and Bentley look like now:
Bentley just turned 14!
Maci has three kids now.
And the family of five seems pretty happy!
Next up is Amber and her daughter Leah.
You probably remember all the drama between Amber and her boyfriend Gary.
This was Leah back then:
And here she is now with Gary:
Leah turned 14 last November.
Leah and Amber have had a rocky relationship over the years, and it looks like Leah spends most of her time with Gary.
Amber also has a 4-year-old son named James with a man named Andrew Glennon. In 2022, Amber lost custody of James.
Now we're up to Catelynn.
If you remember, Catelynn and Tyler placed their daughter Carly up for adoption.
They were the only couple on their season to do so.
This was Catelynn and Tyler then:
And here they are now:
Tyler just turned 31, which is kind of blowing my mind.
They have THREE kids of their own.
And their adopted daughter Carly turned 13 in May 2022.
Judging from this text Tyler sent Catelynn on her 31st birthday, they are still very much *in lerve.*
Lastly from the OGs, Farrah and Sophia.
Lordy lord, there was a ton of drama with Farrah and her mom during that season.
This was them then:
And here's mother and daughter now:
Sophia just turned 14, and for her birthday, Farrah got her six new piercings.
Now for the cast of Teen Mom 2. Let's start with Leah and her twins Aliannah and Aleeah.
Here's how you probably remember them:
And here they are now:
The twins are 13, and she also has a 10-year-old.
Next up is Kailyn and her son Isaac.
This was them then:
And here he is now:

^That's the latest pic I could find, but he's 13 now.
Kailyn has four kids now.
No tears this morning - except for me 🥲 2 hour play care, kindergarten, 3rd and 7th 🫶🏼
Next up is Chelsea and her daughter Aubree.
If I remember, Chelsea had the more bougie upbringing.
Here they are way back when:
And here's Aubree now at 13:
Chelsea has four kids now.
She and her husband have their own HGTV show called Down Home Fab.
So, yep, all of the teen moms have teens now. Just wait 'til they can drive...
