Kailyn Lowry Baby Daddy: 'Teen Mom 2' Expecting To Welcome Third Child Without Chris Lopez [VIDEO]
Kailyn Lowry isn't relying on Chris Lopez for help once their child arrives later this summer.
Although Lowry and Lopez dated briefly after the Teen Mom 2 star's divorce last year, Lopez hasn't been involved in Lowry's pregnancy lately and isn't expected to play a substantial role in his son or daughter's life after the birth.
“Kailyn [Lowry] is fully prepared to raise this baby on her own," a source told Hollywood Life on Saturday.
"She’s expecting the bare minimum from [baby daddy] Chris [Lopez]. She’s sad about that because she did have a lot of hope that he would step up to the plate and be a good father. But she’s not going to try and force him to be a dad. If he wants to miss out on the best thing in life then that’s his loss. It’s not easy to accept and it does hurt her heart. She wants her child to have both a mom and dad, but she’s leaving it in God’s hands. She’s praying that once their baby is here, Chris’ heart will melt and he’ll get his priorities right and put his kid first."
Lowry announced she was expecting her third child in February and in May, she named Lopez as the child's father.
Lowry is also the mom to seven-year-old Isaac, who she welcomed during her relationship with Jo Rivera, and to three-year-old Lincoln, who she welcomed during her three-year marriage to Javi Marroquin.
“One thing this experience is doing is softening her heart a lot to Javi,” the source continued. “The difference between Chris and Javi is like night and day. No matter how bad things get between her and Javi, he’s always an amazing dad.”
