They’re engaged! Congratulations are in order for Teen Mom 2 stars Javi Marroquin and Lauren Comeau. The couple have been together for a hot minute and they even share a son, but now they’re ready to take things to the next level. On June 18, the father-of-two revealed that he finally popped the question. Check out the gallery below to get all of the romantic details!
“June 17th I asked my best friend to marry me,” the reality star began his announcement post. “Our sleepless (mainly yours) nights … our endless laughs … and our countless jokes to each other now can be forever. Without you, our gym wouldn’t be possible. Without you we wouldn’t have a place to call home.”

Future Blushing Bride
“Most importantly, without you, we wouldn’t be complete,” Javi continued his heartfelt caption. “Thank you for being the greatest mom to Eli and now (soon to be) stepmom to Lincoln. I feared not finding someone that would love me and Linc the way you do. Never have I questioned that with you. Thank you for everything you do for this family. I can’t believe I’m this lucky.”

A Second Chance
The stars first met at a wedding back in July 2017. Though they did start dating, it wasn’t long before long distance tore them apart. But back in March, Javi, 26, announced they were giving their relationship another go. “Sometimes, two people have to fall apart to realize how much they need to fall back together,” Lauren wrote on Instagram.

Too Cute
Fans fell in love with the couple once they went Instagram official, and engagement rumors have been swirling for a long time. Back in August 2018, one of Lauren’s rings convinced fans Javi had popped the question.

Not Just Yet
Though Javi shut down those reports, he did confirm to Radar Online that that day wasn’t too far off. “Definitely in the future I will propose,” he told the site. “The focus is on the baby first.”

Moving In
They did start living together that summer, though. “She’s officially moved into my house,” he continued. “We got a new place and we’ll be moving there in two weeks,” he said at the time.

Settling In
The stars took to Instagram to share photos of their place, and it was clear the Delaware home was the perfect fit for their family. “Best boyfriend ever! Came home to gorgeous freshly-painted white cabinets. Javi my handy man!” Lauren wrote.

A New Addition
The couple welcomed their first ~child~ together in September 2018: a completely adorable pitbull. “Teen Mom 2 star Javi Marroquin (@javim9) chose to #AdoptDontShop! Javi helped Buster (right) go from lost to loved at our @petsmartcharities Everyday Adoption Center in Dover. This stray, unwanted pup will never know hunger or fear again,” the Brandywine Valley SPCA shared at the time.
It didn’t take long for the parents to decide on a name and introduce their son as Eli Joseph Marroquin. “I really wanted to name him something that could be shortened to a nickname, but we love Eli by itself,” said Lauren about choosing a moniker.

Middle Name Tribute
The name Eli came out of nowhere, but they’d known they wanted his middle name to be Joseph for a while. “[It’s] after my dad, who goes by Joe, and my grandfather’s middle name,” Javi shared.

One Happy Family
The parents look more in love than ever now that they have both Eli and Lincoln. We’re sure that Javi’s son with Kailyn Lowry has been the best big brother a boy could ask for

Another Baby?
Things have been going so smoothly that Javi and Lauren have even talked about continuing to grow their family. In February, they hinted that they might want another baby, and in March they confirmed they want a little girl.

A Sister for Eli
“We are still trying for that girl! We want that girl,” Javi said at the time. “I’m ready when she’s ready … I think we said next year, we’ll try next year.”

For Now, a Ring
The two are finally ready to tie the knot — or at least start planning for the big day. On June 17, the father-of-two finally got down on one knee and popped the question to his future wife.

Beautiful Bride
Lauren is gorgeous, and we’ve loved to see all of the sweet moments she’s shared with Javi. We just know that she’s going to be stunning if she decides to go the traditional route and get all decked out in a big white dress.

Who’s Invited?
Of course, there’s one more thing left to do before the big day, and that’s hopefully mend some fences with Kail. In April, the dad revealed his two baby mamas still don’t even say hi to each other.

Making it Work
“It will come eventually,” Javi said about their relationship, and now that Lauren will officially be a step-mom to Kail’s kids, we have a feeling that they’ll finally work things out.
