WHILE the casts of Teen Mom OG and Teen Mom 2 have documented much of their lives on-screen, some have opted to keep their children off-camera.
Take a look at some of those responsible for making the teens moms in the first place.
Andrew Glennon shared a snap of James, four, to social media
Maci Bookout shared a new video of son Bentley after her ex Ryan Edwards claimed he can get custody of preteen
JAMES PORTWOOD

Amber Portwood’s ex, Andrew Glennon, recently shared the first photo of their rarely-seen son James in years.
The U.S. Sun can exclusively reveal the photo, which Andrew shared on his private social media, of the single dad posing with a very happy James in the background.
James, who turns five in May, has been living in Malibu, California, after Andrew was awarded full custody of their son, and permission to relocate them out of Indiana.
Amber has regular monthly visits with James which include overnights.
As The U.S. Sun exclusively reported, James’ new life is far different than what it looked like previously.
James and his father Andrew Glennon relocated to Malibu in August, soon after an Indiana judge granted him full custody.
While the physical distance has grown between Amber and her son, she is making her visits with him a top priority, the insider claimed.
“Amber is now at the full visits with James that the court set forth for them in their final custodial decision. She has him five days a month, and her time with him alternates between California and Indiana.”
Another insider close to the Teen Mom OG star added that the toddler is actually “with her right now and she is thrilled about the time with him.”
They added that when Amber isn’t with James she is frequently on FaceTime with him to bridge the gaps between visits.
“Amber has been trying really hard to make sure she’s in James’ life despite the distance. It’s tough on her, but she’s making it work,” the source added.
JAGGER & STELLA EDWARDS
Ryan Edwards and his wife Mackenzie, have kept their children, Jagger and Stella, out of the public eye
Mackenzie Edwards shared an adorable photo of her two youngest kids as they enjoyed a snow day.
Mackenzie took to her Instagram last month to share a rare photo of her tiny tots Jagger, three, and Stella, two.
The reality star snapped the pair as they happily made snowballs in a completely white backdrop.
Both were bundled in their winter attire and laughed as they enjoyed their day.
Mackenzie captioned her snap: “Walking in a [spring?] wonderland.”
Fans were stunned to see the little ones as they noticed her babies were growing fast.
“Where did your baby girl go? It’s time for another,” one remarked.
“They are getting so big,” a second noted, while a third wrote: “OMG They grew so fast. Hope all is well.”
Another asked: “How are they so big?” while a fifth gushed: “How are they getting so big? Too cute!!”
ELI MARROQUIN
Javi Marroquin doesn’t allow MTV camera to film his 3-year-old son, Eli
Former Teen Mom 2 star Javi Marroquin has maintained his son Eli’s privacy by not including the little boy in the show.
Although Eli’s older brother Lincoln, whom Javi shares with his ex-wife and Teen Mom 2 star, Kailyn Lowry, is used to cameras recording their lives, it appears he doesn’t want the same lifestyle for his youngest child.
The father of two shares the toddler with his ex-fiancée, Lauren Comeau.
Fans have only received updates on the tot on social media as Javi and Lauren regularly share sweet pics of their baby boy.
The dad previously sparked concern after he revealed that Eli was rushed to the emergency room numerous times.
The MTV alum revealed: “Eli is growing and thriving to be a brave, smart, loving boy who has sent us to the ER more times in the last 2 months than I have my whole life.”
He explained that Eli’s trip to the hospital was because his son was a “daredevil” and not because of “health-related” reasons.
Javi added: “Lincoln continues to be a great friend, a leader, and still does not quit playing some type of sport.”
He wrote that the two are “living everyday attentively.”
A fan responded in the comments section: “Never a dull moment with the boys!!”
Another fan added: “Take care and hope to see you and kids healthy and wise.”
Javi has also been dealing with a legal battle with his baby mama, for whom he filed a restraining order against in June 2021.
However, the pair seem to be on better terms as Javi, Lauren, and their two sons snapped a pic last week while attending the NBA finals game together.
Remi Simms

Fans are familiar with Teen Mom 2 stars Leah Messer and Corey Simms’ parenting journey as they became pregnant with their twin daughters just a month after their romance began.
While they tried to make their relationship work for their girls, Aliannah and Aleeah they ultimately parted ways in 2011.
Leah went on to marry Jeremy Calvert – the father of her daughter Adalynn – whose outspoken personality is frequently highlighted on the show.
Leah and Jeremy divorced in 2015, and she’s entered into a serious relationship with her boyfriend, Jaylan Mobley.
Corey also found a new love interest in Miranda Patterson, whom he wed in 2013, and they have a daughter, Remington.
The couple prefers to keep a low profile, keeping their daughter out of the public eye.
Last year, Corey’s father, Jeff, gave a rare glimpse of all of his granddaughters together on Instagram to celebrate the Easter holiday.
He shared the group shot with the simple caption: “Ali, Gracie and Remi! #easter2022.”
Fans went crazy for the revealing new photo.
One fan pointed out: “They have grown so much.”
Another agreed, focusing specifically on Remi: “They’re all grown up so much, but Remi girl is not a baby anymore!”
SAILOR & ATLEE MEYER & TRIPP JOHNSON
Bristol Palin’s three kids are rarely seen since she left the show in 2019 after one season
While Bristol Palin only starred on Teen Mom OG for one season, her three children made a lasting impression on fans.
Bristol gave birth to her first son, Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston, with her ex-Levi Johnston, in 2008.
The former partners were engaged then, but they broke things off in 2009.
The ex-reality star has primary custody, and Levi has visitation rights and makes child support payments.
Bristol soon moved on with Dakota Meyer a former Marine and Medal of Honor recipient who popped the question in 2015.
Later that year, the pair welcomed their daughter Sailor Grace Meyer.
In December 2016, Bristol, the daughter of former Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin, announced she was pregnant for the third time.
Dakota’s second child and Bristol’s third was born in 2017 and named Atlee Bay Meyer.
The family’s time on the show was short-lived after Bristol replaced Farrah Abraham following her severed relationship with MTV from 2018 to 2019.
The Alaska native stated her reason for leaving was to keep her peace of mind.
“Teen mom OG wasn’t a fit for me, it took away my peace.. and honestly – my peace has a price tag that no one but God can afford,” Bristol said in an Instagram post announcing she was leaving the show.
” $ doesn’t impress me, I don’t entertain bs, and walking away from this show allows God to rebuild me (and my little fam) in the right direction,” she continued.
The former TV star turned real estate mogul regularly shares photos of her kids on her social media platforms.
Ryan is also a dad to his young son, Bentley with his ex, Maci Bookout
Amber’s rarely-pictured son James recently bonded with his older sister Leah in pics posted to social media
