Briana DeJesus may be pregnant, or just wishing to be. The Teen Mom staple recently caused a stir on social media with a recent post. “Cant wait to have my mans baby,” she shared in a post to X on Jan. 24.
Some of the reactions caution her to think twice. DeJesus is already mom to two daughters: Nova and Stella. Her complicated motherhood journey has been featured on the MTV series since first appeared on 16 & Pregnant. She shares Nova with Devoin Austin, and Stella with Luis Hernandez. While her co-parenting relationship with Austin has been rocky, it’s more stable than her near-nonexistent one with Hernandez.

Amid drama with Luis, she asked her sister, Brittany, to adopt Stella in an episode of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter. She revealed on the reunion special that legal matters caused her to consider that option.ย
“The last time he saw Stella was at the daddy/daughter dance. That was a long time ago,” DeJesus told reunion hosts, Dr. Drew Pinsky and Nessa. “There’s no, like, emotional love when it comes from him. So I was just like, ‘I need to protect Stella.’”
Brittany didn’t hesitate when her sister asked. At the reunion, Brittany explained that because Stella and Nova “don’t have the same dad โฆ if God forbid something were to happen to my sister, there’s a possibility that they would be separated.”ย
“So from the get, I always told her, ‘Put me on paper,’” Brittany, 31, added. “I would never let them be separated. I love them like my own. Since the day [Briana] even had kids, she always said if something happened to her I was going to take care of the kids.
While speaking to Briana, she told her: “Obviously, you didn’t even have to ask me. I could’ve woken up tomorrow and you would’ve been like, ‘You’re a mother and I would’ve been like, ‘OK.’ That’s a fโing given.”ย
