TEEN Mom fans have been left heartbroken this week as cameras showed Briana DeJesus sobbing over her baby daddy’s absence.
She accused Luis Hernandez of “never showing up” for their daughter, 4-year-old Stella.
The scene, which was aired during this week’s episode of Teen Mom 2, showed Briana, 27, on the phone with her ex’s dad.
She tried to get through to Luis via his parents after he failed to show up to one of Stella’s hospital appointments.
Briana complained that he “doesn’t visit” Stella and “doesn’t call to see how she’s doing.”
The mom of two welled up as she said: “Hopefully Luis can get his s**t together and hopefully you guys could do the same.

“And if not, that’s fine, because I’ve been the best mom I can be, and if he doesn’t want to be in Stella’s life, he needs to let me know that.”
She continued with tears in her eyes: “I’m not gonna hate him, and we can take the necessary steps to remove him off the birth certificate… so that he’s not in my way of taking care of Stella.”
The upset mom concluded: “Right now, the first person that’s breaking Stella’s heart is her own dad.”
Fans were heartbroken by the scene and rushed to the comments section of the official Teen Mom Instagram page to express their sadness.
One wrote: “Y’all might not like her but as a mother, she goes above and beyond by herself. This breaks my heart for Stella”
A second added: “She’s trying her best to give her kid’s father a chance but Luis is always messing up.”
A third empathized: “I feel her pain so much.“
HEALTH ISSUES
Briana has been suffering a tough time recently, and in the latest episode of the MTV series, fans learned that her youngest daughter needed a heart monitor.
The tot has had her fair share of medical encounters, as she was rushed into emergency surgery for a serious bacterial infection when she was only one.
Previously, Briana gave her fans on Instagram an update on the little one’s health after she was admitted to the emergency room.
A photo shared had Stella laying down on the hospital examination bed, as she seemed to be in good spirits.
The child was smiling as she played a card game and watched television.
Her proud mom added the caption: “My sweet babycakes.”
However, that was the only context Briana shared with her fans for an update.
Briana also shares 10-year-old daughter Nova with ex Devoin Austin.
LEGAL BATTLE
Meanwhile, the reality star emerged victorious recently from costar Kailyn Lowry’s defamation lawsuit against her.
The Teen Mom 2 regulars faced off in court last month after the blonde accused Briana of making “false” comments about her physically abusing her ex Chris Lopez.
According to documents obtained by The Celeb Report, the case was dismissed in favor of the Florida native, as the judge found Kailyn’s claims to be unfounded.

The judge agreed with Briana that Kailyn was required to give her notice that she was about to file the lawsuit, but she didn’t comply.
Briana has since vowed to sue Kailyn for her legal bills, which racked up to $120k.
