Teen Mom 2's Briana DeJesus has a new love in her life and she's all smiles! She took to Instagram to post a snap of herself with her new boyfriend. The couple are standing in front of a rollercoaster. DeJesus captioned the snap, "My sweet love, thank you for shining your light into the darkness that was surrounding me." She added two heart emojis and the hashtag #wealmostdiedonthatridetho. The photo appears to have been taken at Brooklyn's Coney Island in front of the Cyclone rollercoaster. That puts DeJesus, who is from Orlando, miles and miles away from home. It turns out that her new man is from New York. Who is Briana DeJesus' boyfriend? New details about Johnny Rodriguez.
1. New York, New York
On August 6th, Briana confirmed in an Instagram Live Session that she was dating someone from New York City. Her new boyfriend's name is Johnny Rodriguez.
2. Will he be on Teen Mom?
Briana was coy in an interview with Radar Online. The outlet asked her if Rodriguez would be appearing on Season 9 of Teen Mom 2. She said, “It’s nothing crazy and it’s relatively new. If and when I am, I’ll definitely reveal it and of course you’d see it on the show, as I’m completely open with my life and what’s going on.”
3. Drama free
Briana was happy to report that her new relationship is drama free. Briana previously dated her Teen Mom 2 co-star Javi Moarroquin. They broke up in mid January after dating for four months. Briana is happy she's now dating someone who hasn't dated one of her co-stars. She told Radar Online "There's no other baby mama craziness to deal with." Javi is divorced from Briana's co-star Kailyn Lowry.
4. Did Javi propose?
In an episode of Teen Mom 2 that aired in June, Briana turned down Javi's proposal of marriage. In the episode she said, “It’s not the right time so I gave it back to him. He wants to marry me, he wants me to have his children, he wants me to move in with him. There’s a lot of stuff that he wants.”
5. Not speaking
After their breakup, Briana and Javi are not speaking at all. In fact, the exes even refuse to film together.
6. A show insider
A show insider confirmed Briana and Johnny are filming together for the next season of Teen Mom 2.
7. Not seeking fame
Briana feels confident that Johnny is not after her for his fame or to get famous himself. She told Radar Online, "Oh and he's not someone who was on TV seeking to get more airtime, so there's that. I'm in a good place and excited to see where this goes."
8. Long distance relationship
Briana took to Twitter to talk about her long-distance relationship. "Long-distance relationships are a blessing and a curse all in one," she wrote. More recently she got even sappier writing, "Can’t wait to cuddle up with baeeeeeeee."
