Teen Mom star Tyler Baltierra is expressing his frustrations with wife Catelynn Lowell in a teaser for season 3 of Teen Mom: Family Reunion. Tyler, 32, tells Catelynn, 31, "F–k you for making me feel unworthy." He also warns, "If I don’t get my needs met, we’re divorced."

Tyler and Catelynn began their relationship in middle school and got married in 2015. Their journey in reality television started with 16 and Pregnant. This show documented their choice to place their first daughter, Carly, who is now 14, for adoption when they found out they were going to be parents during high school.

Since then, the couple has expanded their family and have three more daughters together: Novalee, who is 9 years old, Vaeda, who is 5 years old, and Rya, who is 2 years old.

Despite the challenges shown on Teen Mom: Family Reunion, Tyler and Catelynn appear to have reached a better understanding since filming the MTV series.

Catelynn expressed her gratitude and love for Tyler in a heartfelt Instagram post on Wednesday. She shared a photo and video of them enjoying a romantic boat ride, captioning it with a message of appreciation. She thanked Tyler for loving her the way he does and being her rock. Catelynn also expressed her love for him, referring to him as the perfect partner and baby daddy.

Tyler took to the comments section to echo his wife’s sentiment.

“Babe, If anyone is a gift in this life … it is YOU! I love you beyond measure,” he wrote.

The couple has faced challenges and joys throughout their relationship, breaking off their engagement in 2013 only to re-engage the next year. Recently, Catelynn addressed rumors that Tyler had criticized her body.

During an episode of Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast in August 2023, she stated, “If anyone ever body-shamed me in front of my kids, I would leave. I want my children to know that it's not okay to be treated that way. That's why it makes me upset.”

Catelynn explained that some of the comments made by Tyler on television, such as calling her a "heifer" in a 2016 episode of Teen Mom OG, were taken out of context.

She emphasized that viewers need to remember that the show is edited. Sometimes, the editors would cut out the end of a conversation, making it seem like Tyler was insulting her. In reality, they would clarify and laugh about it, showing that it was not meant to be taken seriously. This misunderstanding is what frustrates her the most - the assumption that she would tolerate such disrespect without addressing it.

Season 3 of Teen Mom: Family Reunion premieres on MTV Wednesday, March 13, at 8 p.m. ET.
