‘Teen Mom 2’ Star Kailyn’s Baby Daddy Chris Slams ‘Deadbeat’ Claims in Rare Pic With Lux

Kailyn, 27, and Chris have had quite the tumultuous relationship over the past three years that they’ve been dating off and on.

Since Chris was and still is adamant about not participating in filming for Kail’s storyline on Teen Mom 2, fans only get her point of view on their relationship.

During an episode that aired on season 8 of Teen Mom 2, Kail complained about Chris’ participation in their son’s life during a vacation to Hawaii with costar Leah Messer.

“Chris texted me. Chris saw that I was in Hawaii and now all of a sudden he’s asking where his son is,” Kail said. “But before I came here, he never asked me one time how his son is doing. So now he wants to know and now all a sudden he wants to see his son this week while I’m here. That’s horrible.”

“But legit, in seven months, this might be only the second time he’s asked how his son is or where his son is,” Kail continued. “Oh, he posted a picture of him and the baby in my bed, that was when the baby was a month old and he just posted it the other day. Like, please don’t be an Instagram dad, because that’s what you are.”

Chris caught wind of Kail’s comments and he took to Twitter to slam the show and defend himself.

Since then, Kail and Chris made huge strides in their coparenting relationship and they even briefly rekindled their relationship. But Kail still described their relationship as “complicated.”

During an episode that aired in March 2019, Kail got emotional while sharing an update on where things stood between her and her third baby daddy.

“Depending on who asks either of us, depends on our answer,” Kailyn said. “If you ask him right now, ‘Are you with Kail?’ Depending on who’s asking him, he may say yes or he may say no.”

But even though things weren’t going well romantically between them, Chris did step up as a dad.

“I respect it. I can’t complain,” she said. “You take Lux when you have to take him, you’re paying child support. I don’t have any complaints.”

Kail got extremely honest and admitted that she wanted more.

“We have a 1-year-old, there’s no reason why we need to be coparenting, but in a relationship, living separately, when we’ve been together on and off for three years,” she lamented. “If we aren’t growing together, we need to just say bye.”

And it seems like they did say “goodbye” for good after that. In March 2019, Chris took to Twitter and shared his thoughts on his split from his baby mama.

“Better off without that bitch and I’m glad we fell off,” he tweeted.

Shortly after, fans took to Kailyn’s Instagram Story Q&A to ask for her reaction.

“How he feels is none of my business,” the Pothead hair care entrepreneur wrote.

Even though things between Kail and Chris don’t seem amicable, it seems like they finally figured out a healthy coparenting relationship.

On Sunday, April 28, Chris took to Instagram to share a cute, rare photo of him enjoying naptime with his little boy.

“‘The deadbeat’ they don’t know the journey,” Chris wrote in the caption of the pic with Lux.

It’s nice to see that Kail and Chris are able to put their differences aside for the sake of their son!
