The 19-year-old college student made the announced via Instagram yesterday, posting a photo of Henry standing next to a board that read "I'm so cute my parents are having another in November 2014."
"After weeks of contemplating we have finally decided to share this news..." she wrote alongside the picture. "The reason it took me so long to share this is because I am not interested in hearing the negative feedback from negative people."
The college student also added that "this pregnancy has been planned for years. Ever since Henry was born Jairo and I decided that we wanted our kids to be four to five years apart... to those of you that support my family and me, I thank you."
This announcement arrives in the heat of the Teem Mom Farrah Abraham feud in which the star bashed costar Catelynn Lowell for being pregnant with her second child, having given the first up for adoption. MTV's Kailyn Lowry also has two children, and Teem Mom 2's Jenelle Evans gave birth to her second son earlier this week.
Tovar requested that her followers please keep negative comments to themselves as she would like this to be a happy time with her family.
