Briana DeJesus had no comment when asked about Kailyn Lowry and her expanding family feud.
Kailyn, 31, shared in January that she had twins, a son named Verse and a daughter named Valley, with her boyfriend Elijah Scott. She also has a son named Rio, who is 14 months old. Verse and Valley are Kailyn's sixth and seventh children. She also has a son named Isaac, 14, with Jo Rivera, a son named Lincoln, 10, with Javi Marroquin, and sons named Lux, 6, and Creed, 2, with Chris Lopez.
During the interview, Briana did not want to talk much about Kailyn. This is not surprising as the two women have not been getting along for a few years now. Their disagreement started when Briana began dating Javi, who was previously married to Kailyn, for a few months. The tension between them increased when Briana joined Kailyn on Teen Mom 2.
In August 2018, Kailyn mentioned to Us that there is no friendship between her and her costar. She expressed that while she doesn't foresee a friendship in the future, she is content with moving on from the past. They have not communicated since then, and Kailyn hopes it remains that way.
Moving on to June 2021, Kailyn took legal action against her costar by filing a defamation lawsuit. She claimed that her costar, Briana, had falsely accused her of assaulting her ex, Chris, and breaking into his home. Kailyn had faced legal trouble in September 2020 when she was arrested for allegedly punching her ex, but the charges were eventually dropped.

In April 2022, it was confirmed that the defamation lawsuit against Briana was dismissed.
Kailyn expressed her disappointment with the ruling but stated that she respects the judge's decision. She maintained that the information spread about her is false and she stands by her truth. Kailyn thanked her legal team for their support and looks forward to moving on from the lawsuit to focus on her sons and future business ventures.
Briana has shifted her focus from the drama and is now concentrating on her two daughters. She is the mother of Nova, 12, with Devoin Austin II, and Stella, 6, with Luis Hernandez.
Speaking to Us on Tuesday, Briana expressed her admiration for her daughters. She described Stella as "great" and "amazing," while also praising Nova. Briana noted that their personalities are very different, comparing them to herself and her sister Brittany DeJesus. She mentioned how she sees aspects of her own childhood playing out in her daughters and finds the experience truly amazing. Briana concluded by expressing that she wouldn't change a thing.
Briana decided to take a break from her responsibilities as a parent to participate in the Teen Mom: Family Reunion cast retreat in Cartagena, Colombia.
When asked about her decision to join the MTV spinoff, Briana jokingly mentioned that she simply wanted to have a good time. As a single mom to Nova and Stella, she rarely gets a break from taking care of them. Going to a different country to hang out with her friends was a great opportunity for her to relax and have fun. Briana described the experience as truly amazing.
