Teen Mom 2 star Javi Marroquin and girlfriend Lauren Comeau are expecting another baby. After welcoming son Eli in November 2018, the couple has announced another baby is on the way. The MTV reality star is also the proud father of 5-year-old Lincoln shared with ex-wife, Kailyn Lowry.
Meanwhile, Comeau posted on her Instagram: "Waking up feeling extra thankful for this fine man and our life. Looking forward to a weekend celebrating with family and friends."
In an interview with OK Magazine in November 2018, Marroquin said he was "ready" to try for another baby with Comeau. “I’m ready when she’s ready,” Marroquin said. “But she’s not ready.”
"We are still trying for that girl! We want that girl... Eli is a handful for now, we will take our time. I think we said next year, we'll try next year," he added.
So who is Javi Marroquin's girlfriend? Here’s what we know about Lauren Comeau.
1. They met at a friend's wedding.
Marroquin and Comeau first started dating after meeting in July 2017 at a friend's wedding. After being in a long distance relationship for a few weeks, they parted ways in September 2017. Not long after, Marroquin began dating Teen Mom 2 co-star Briana DeJesus, and after a whirlwind romance, the two split in January 2018. Then in March 2018, Lauren revealed on her Instagram that they were giving their romance another chance after a few months apart.
"Sometimes, two people have to fall apart to realize how much they need to fall back together," she wrote. Almost immediately, Comeau and Marroquin began dating again, with the reality personality stating on Season 8 of the MTV show.
"Me and Lauren dated last summer, but it was just bad timing and we both had a lot going on," he shared at the time. "And then we just rekindled, she texted me, and we were talking for a little bit. Then we hung out and the chemistry was still there, and now we're together. I'm trying to get over the ex."
2. Then they announced they were having a child.
At the end of May 2018, the two announced they were expecting their first child together.
"Been kinda quiet lately for many reasons. I was sad I couldn’t share the good news because I was afraid of what people would say. The amount of love I’ve received is so overwhelming and so appreciated. I realized No negative comment will take this moment away from us. A baby is a blessing and I am ecstatic for the future. Lincoln is happy, I’m happy, and Lauren is happy. Gonna go on a little hiatus from social media to take all this in and enjoy it with my family and loved ones. For those sending love, thank you! We appreciate it. And to you @lauren3elizabeth thank you for blessing me with another child. We are gonna be amazing parents together," he wrote at the time.
The couple then and welcomed Eli in November. Since the birth, Comeau and Marroquin have been busy raising their family, and Marroquin and his former wife Lowry have been co-parenting their 5-year-old son Lincoln.
3. Marroquin’s ex-wife Lowry doesn’t want a relationship with Comeau.
Lowry and Comeau came face-to-face for the first time in Monday's Season 9 premiere of the MTV reality show, despite Lowry not wanting a relationship with Comeau.
"It makes me want to wonder why she hasn't wanted to meet me for this long," Comeau told Marroquin. "My biggest thing is I just want your co-parenting to be happy and healthy. I just want respect on both sides."
But Lowry refused to interact with Comeau. Lowry explained at the time that she was "not ready" to meet Comeau, explaining she would rather "keep her distance" for the time being.
After the episode, Lowry Tweeted: "Tweeted it before. I don’t have any ill feelings towards Lauren. However, you won’t see me officially meeting her for the first time on camera. I just don’t think that’s natural or genuine."
Since then, Comeau appears to have kept her distance.
"A direct relationship with her, I don't know if that's necessary," Comeau told Radar Online in November. "But to be able to all be together for the kids' sake, hopefully we'll get there."
"We're working, communicating and making sure things get done," Marroquin added at the time.
4. Comeau lives a healthy lifestyle.
Comeau has been open about her weight loss journey, doing the Whole 30 program and sharing results on Instagram. On March 16, 2018, she posted: “I’ve learned that life is more than ketchup and dominos."
After her baby, she started doing cross fit at CrossFit Killshot in Smyrna, Delaware — which Marroquin owns.
“Mama got cleared to get back in the gym today! I didn’t do CrossFit prior to becoming pregnant so I’m really excited to spend 2019 really committing to some new health and fitness goals as we tackle this new journey!”
She has also competed in Rugged Maniac, an annual obstacle course race through mud.
5. She loves her family.
Comeau is from Maine and shares many photos of her family and nieces on Instagram.
6. She loves animals.
Comeau often shares photos of her dog on Instagram as well. “He’s a mix from the shelter,” she told a fan on Instagram who asked about the canine’s breed. “He’s a terrier mix but my guess would be with Shepard and Husky.”
Congrats to the happy couple!
