3) Amber Portwood
Amber is an American reality TV personality and a convicted criminal. In 2010, one of the 16 and Pregnant episodes showcased the domestic violence against her partner, Gary Shirley, for which she also faced imprisonment. After that, she was also found abusing her other partner, Andrew Glennon.

5) Ashley Jones
Despite rumors of being fired, Ashley Siren will return for Teen Mom: The Next Chapter season 2. After rumors surfaced, Ashley confirmed that she and Bar Smith would come back for the show's season 2. It was surprising for the viewers when her fellow castmate, Catelynn Lowell, revealed Ashley's pregnancy during Teen Mom: Family Reunion.
Ashley shares her daughter, Holly, with her ex-partner, Bar Smith. When her second pregnancy resulted in miscarriage, she attended counseling sessions to help her cope with the grief. Ashley will now be one of the cast members of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter.
6) Mackenzie McKee
McKee and her husband, Josh McKee, have been separated for quite some time now. Despite their separation, Josh might return after a few years for the second season of Teen Mom to show their co-parenting methods.
On May 29, 2024, Khesanio Hall proposed to Mackenzie McKee, and they have already started to plan their wedding. The couple shared a carousel of pictures on Instagram while Khesanio had all of McKee's loved ones present for the special moment.
7) Jenelle Eason/ Evans
Jenelle Eason, who now goes by Jenelle Evans, announced her separation from her husband, David Eason, in March 2024. Neither of them stated any apparent reasons for the same.
Earlier this month, Jenelle obtained a six-month domestic violence protective restraining order against her ex, David Eason. It was for herself and her three children's protection. It has been months since their breakup, which was made public as their Facebook profiles showcased their relationship status as "separated” in February 2024.
8) Briana DeJesus
Viewers are quite aware of Mackenzie and Briana's feud. However, time has passed, and they might put their differences aside in the upcoming Teen Mom: The Next Chapter season 2.
In an interview with E! News on March 17, 2024, Briana shared:
"I'm almost 30 years old. I want to get married. I want to possibly have another child. I want to settle down. And I have all these married couples around me and I love it so much because they just give me hope. I can't wait for it to be my time."
9) Catelynn Baltierra
Catelynn is the mother of four children who will also be part of the Teen Mom: The Next Chapter. During an interview with Page Six in March 2024, Catelynn Lowell's husband, Tyler Baltierra, said:
"If I don't get my needs met, we're divorced."
Tyler was also seen frustrated during the Teen Mom: Family Reunion teaser, where he shared:
"F*ck you for making me feel unworthy."
Upcoming episodes of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter season 2, might throw some light on the subject.
