Teen Mom’s Catelynn Lowell shares weight loss update as husband Tyler Baltierra claps back at haters

Tyler Baltierra is showing support for his wife, Catelyn Lowell, and has shared a heartwarming update on her weight loss journey.

The Michigan couple rose to fame after starring in the reality TV series 16 and Pregnant in 2009, before later appearing in the spin-off series Teen Mom.

They met in the 7th grade and started dating in 2005. Three years later, they found themselves expecting a child together when they were only juniors in high school.

However, because they felt they were unequipped to become parents, their newborn daughter, Carly, now 17, was put up for adoption after her birth, but they’ve continued to remain in her life.

Baltierra and Lowell went on to welcome three more daughters together - Nova, 11, Vaeda, seven, and Rya, four.

Now, in an Instagram post shared on Sunday (1 November), Baltierra, 34, has praised his wife for losing 30lbs, after her previous admissions about sadly experiencing body-shaming.

Hitting back at the trolls, he took to social media to share a side-by-side comparison of Lowell in a witch's costume this year, alongside a snap from a previous year.

He wrote in the caption: “Can we just take a moment to acknowledge how beautiful my wife is!? She’s down 30lbs & I’m so beyond proud of her! I love you babe @catelynnmtv & you’re always the most beautiful to me!”

Baltierra added a slew of emojis, as well as the hashtags: “#MyBabe #Soulmate #Queen #SexyWitch.”

While Lowell has mostly kept her fitness and weight loss journey private, she has previously spoken out about body shaming.

In 2023, during an episode of Page Six’s Virtual Reali-Tea podcast, Lowell explained that she would never let a partner speak about her body in a negative way.

She said: “If I was ever being body-shamed or called out of my name in front of my kids, I would be gone. Because I don’t want my children to think that that’s okay to be treated like that. So that’s kind of why I get angry.”

The weight loss update comes after the family shared their Halloween photos from this year - and it’s safe to say they opted for a mishmash of different characters.

Baltierra shared a snap of himself dressed as the comic book character Nightwing, Novalee, as a Stick Man costume, Vaeda as Pennywise from It, and Rya in a witch costume, matching her mum.

The father of four wrote in the caption: “HAPPY HALLOWEEN from The Baltierra’s! #Pennywise #NightWing #StickMan #Witch.”

Fans gushed in the comments: “Can we just talk about how AMAZING Cate looks????” and “The baby looks just like Caitlin! And Caitlin looks amazing!”

A third added: “Cate, you look fantastic!”

And a fourth wrote: “@catelynnmtv is so pretty! My fave couple! Hope you and your family had a great Halloween!”

In May, Carly celebrated her 17th birthday, and the Teen Mom couple shared a touching tribute to TikTok.

They wrote: "17 years ago at 10:39am you took your first breath. I can’t believe you are 17 years old today. The day you were born my life changed forever. I knew from the moment I held you that you would always be one of the greatest blessings in my life."

"As you turn 17, I hope you know how loved you are and how proud I am of you. Never stop believing in yourself and chasing your dreams. The world is so much better because you are in it. Happy 17th birthday. I love you more than words could ever explain."
