In a screenshot on the TEENMOMFANZ Instagram page, Kailyn’s social media message is displayed. Her post reads, “My ex will not go to mediation or negotiate the parenting plan I came up with. Prelim hearing coming up.” Chris Lopez is the father of two of Kailyn’s sons, 6-year-old Lux and 3-year-old Creed. Kailyn dated Chris between 2016 and 2020.
Chris Voiced His Opinions of Kailyn on Instagram
The TEENMOMFANZ user on Instagram who posted Kailyn’s message claims that the ex she was referring to is Chris Lopez. This claim is based on his recent rants about Kailyn on Instagram Live.
In late November, Chris ripped into Kailyn on social media for allegedly violating court orders. Chris posted two videos to Instagram Live. In the first video, he said, “Ain’t nobody more miserable than my baby mama, bro.” Chris confirmed he was speaking about Kailyn, who he called his “first baby mama.”
Chris alleged that Kailyn had interfered during a parent-teacher conference a few days earlier. He accused Kailyn of showing up for a parent-teacher conference that he had signed up for. He alleged that Kailyn had not signed up for this parent-teacher interview. Chris claimed that his son’s teacher told him Kailyn was attending and that she just signed up. That meant the teacher couldn’t provide Chris with paperwork or feedback without Kailyn present.
In his follow-up video, Chris explained that the incident made him realize what he had to do: beat his opponent on December 8th. While Kailyn did not confirm that a court date had been set in December, based on Chris’s comments, that seems to be what he was referring to.
According to Kailyn, Co-Parenting Has Been “Super Challenging”
Kailyn has been outspoken about the difficulties that she alleges she’s faced co-parenting her two sons with Chris. Just under two years ago, Kailyn explained on Instagram that the situation has been “super challenging.” Her post read, “The boys only have two parents, and when one is falling short, I have to pick up the slack and fill in the gaps emotionally, physically, and financially.”
A US Weekly article in March 2020 also claimed that Kailyn alleged Chris cheated on her with multiple women.
Kailyn also made shocking allegations online about Chris harming her physically. Chris admitted to these incidents, although he denied, in a TikTok video, that he meant to end Kailyn’s life. During one alleged incident, Kailyn was holding their son. She wrote on social media that she fought for her life but that she did not want to call the police. She said she wanted Chris to get better, choose her, and not mistreat her.
Chris Is Not Where He Wants to Be
He was arrested in January 2020 for allegedly violating a protective order from October 2019, and in August 2020, was convicted of offensive touching, as well as not complying with a bond order.
Although Chris got sentenced to two years in jail, his conviction was suspended, and he served a Level 2 probation sentence instead. Chris was ordered to have no further personal contact with Kailyn. He was also instructed to take DA classes alongside mental health treatment and continual therapy.

In January 2021, on his podcast P. T. S. D – Pressure Talks with Single Dads, Chris talked about his legal battles with Kailyn, his probation, and the treatment he sought. He said, “If I didn’t go through what I went through, I wouldn’t be where I’m at right now,” but admitted, “I’m not where I want to be, but I’m way, way beyond the point of where I was.”
Followers Shared Their Thoughts on Instagram
Kailyn’s followers haven’t always sided with her on social media. On the TEENMOMFANZ Instagram page, reactions to Kailyn’s recent TikTok post were mixed with one commenter saying on Instagram, in part, “She always wants things to go her way or no way at all.”
Another commenter on Instagram called Kailyn a “control freak, especially when it comes to custody and child support.”
But one of Kailyn’s fans supported her on the TEENMOMFANZ page, commenting, “Good for her. He is a hater!”
While Kailyn mentioned a preliminary hearing in her message to followers, an official court date in 2024 between Kailyn and Chris has yet to be confirmed.
