In a trailer for the third season of Teen Mom: Family Reunion, things between Tyler Baltierra and Catelynn Lowell look like they’re on the brink. According to People magazine, fans were even worried that the beloved couple might really be heading towards a divorce.
But a couple of days ago, some social media announcements tried to put all the rumors to bed. Catelynn posted on Instagram to make it clear that she had no wish to divorce her husband of nearly nine years.
She shared a photo of the couple and she gushed about her true feelings for Tyler. The 31-year-old wrote, “Beyond BLESSED to call you mine.” She described Tyler as a gift who had given her “so much in this crazy world.”
She went on to thank him for loving her and for being her “rock,” before ending her post saying that she could not have wished for a better partner and father to their kids.

It didn’t take long for Tyler to see his wife’s post and reply to it in a similar loving fashion. He commented under Catelynn’s post writing that if anyone was a gift, it was her. He also said that he loved Catelynn “beyond measure.”
The couple’s posts came just a few hours after the trailer dropped. It led some people to believe that they were responding to fans’ reactions to what they saw.
In the trailer, Tyler could be seen getting angry with Catelynn during an argument. He went on to tell his wife that she made him feel “unworthy”, before giving her an alarming ultimatum.
He told Catelynn, “If I don’t get my needs met, we’re divorced.” The shocking statement threatened to bring a relationship that started in middle school to a crushing end.
Tyler and Catelynn Have Been in the Public Eye Since 2009
Fans caught their first glimpse of Tyler and Catelynn in the reality show 16 & Pregnant in 2009. At the time, they were expecting their first child, Carly, who they now have an open adoption relationship with. After Carly, they went on to have three more children.

Before their recent relationship drama, they had already gone through plenty of ups and downs. In 2018, they made the decision to live separately while trying to figure things out between them. E! Reported that they had set themselves a “30-day self-reflection” period, and were not intending at that time to separate.
Although they were living apart, they continued to have fates and dinner nights together. Catelynn even revealed that Tyler would sometimes spend the night. But they also used the time alone to “dive into therapy” in order to work on themselves and their own mental health.
The following year, they opened up about how the separation period had helped them. Catelynn told E! News that going through bumps had made them “stronger” as a couple. Although the recent trailer for Family Reunion suggests otherwise, the couple has made it clear that this is still the case.
