Briana DeJesus walked away from reality TV in 2013 and got pulled right back into the middle of its nastiest feud four years later.

When “Teen Mom 3” wrapped in November 2013, DeJesus quietly returned to life in Orlando, raising her daughter Nova Star and staying off camera. That changed in June 2017, when MTV recruited her for “Teen Mom 2,” dropping her into a cast that already had years of established history. What followed was a stretch of months that included a second pregnancy, a breakup with a costar’s ex-husband, and a backstage brawl that made national headlines.

• MTV brought DeJesus onto “Teen Mom 2” in June 2017, making her the franchise’s fifth main cast member alongside Jenelle Evans, Chelsea DeBoer, Kailyn Lowry, and Leah Messer.
• DeJesus gave birth to her second daughter, Stella Star, on July 2, 2017, with ex Luis Hernández, while juggling family tension with her sister Brittany and mother Roxanne.
• Her relationship with Javi Marroquin, Kailyn Lowry’s ex-husband, sparked a feud that turned physical during the Season 8 reunion taping in May 2018, when Brittany DeJesus stepped into a backstage confrontation with Lowry.

From Orlando Back Into The Franchise

DeJesus first became a reality TV name through “16 and Pregnant” and “Teen Mom 3,” where she raised Nova Star, born September 10, 2011, with ex-boyfriend DeVoin Austin II. Once “Teen Mom 3” was canceled in November 2013, she stepped away entirely, spending nearly four years out of the MTV spotlight. That ended in June 2017, when producers added her to “Teen Mom 2” as its fifth main cast member, joining a lineup that had been running since 2011.

A Second Daughter And Family Pressure

DeJesus was pregnant almost as soon as she rejoined the franchise, giving birth to Stella Star on July 2, 2017, with ex Luis Hernández. The pregnancy and its aftermath played out on camera alongside ongoing tension with her mother, Roxanne, and her sister, Brittany, who became a recurring presence in DeJesus’s storylines. DeJesus also drew attention off-screen for a series of cosmetic procedures she documented on social media, adding another layer of public scrutiny to her return.

The Javi Marroquin Fallout

The most combustible storyline of DeJesus’s comeback was her relationship with Javi Marroquin, the ex-husband of costar Kailyn Lowry. The two started dating in late 2017 and split in early 2018, but the fallout didn’t stay contained to their relationship — it detonated a prolonged, public feud between DeJesus and Lowry that ran through the rest of the season.

DeJesus dated her own costar’s ex-husband, and the fallout followed her all the way to the reunion stage.

The Reunion Brawl And Its Fallout

Tensions between DeJesus and Lowry boiled over in May 2018 at the “Teen Mom 2” Season 8 reunion taping, where a backstage confrontation turned physical and Brittany DeJesus stepped in to intervene. The confrontation between the two costars became one of the most talked-about moments of the season, and it left DeJesus publicly frustrated — not just with Lowry, but with the intrusive scrutiny and backstage drama that came with the franchise. She voiced real ambivalence about whether staying on “Teen Mom 2” was worth it, a sentiment that echoed how quickly cast dynamics on reality shows can curdle once cameras and personal history collide.

Marroquin and Lowry’s marriage had already ended before DeJesus entered the picture, but dating your castmate’s ex-husband on a show built around its cast’s overlapping lives was always going to blow up — and it did, right up through the Season 8 reunion stage.
