Catelynn and Tyler Baltierra reunite with daughter Carly in emotional Teen Mom episode
For anyone who’s watched Teen Mom since the beginning, you’ll know that stars Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra had a life-changing experience when they decided to give their first child up for adoption.
We got to see the pair grapple with the difficult choice in MTV’s original series 16 and Pregnant, and continued to watch the couple’s journey in the spin-off show, which is still going strong.
Throughout the years on Teen Mom, Cate and Tyler have faced ups and downs with the adoption process, namely that they couldn’t always see their daughter Carly as much as they wanted to. Though they do have an open adoption, they can’t always make the rules and haven’t always seen eye to eye with Carly’s adoptive parents.
And because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Catelynn and Tyler were separated from Carly for a long time.
Now, in a new Teen Mom episode, fans get to see Cate and Tyler reunite with Carly after two years. Though cameras did not film the parents together with Carly, we do witness the before and after, which is just as emotional.
It goes without saying that Catelynn and Tyler were excited to see Carly after two long years, and they took time to reflect on their experience in a scene with their family, which you can check out below. In the clip, Tyler says how great their daughter Nova was with Carly, and the parents note how well Carly speaks.
Later on in the clip, Catelynn and Tyler go out to dinner with Carly and her adoptive parents, Brandon and Theresa, and cameras follow the parents as they get in their car and leave the restaurant. They’re extremely emotional at having to say goodbye once again.
As reported by The Sun, viewers at home watching the episode were feeling so emotional for Catelynn and Tyler. One person wrote on Twitter: “Ugh the sweet moments with Carly are such a cry jerker [every time].”
I think most fans of the show agree! It’s been a tough road for Catelynn and Tyler, but their fans are proud of them every step of the way.
