“I’m so excited for baby!!!” Lowry wrote.
“She may have made a mistake but yes everything happens for a reason,” one fan wrote. “She made a choice and it is amazing she is owning that choice and ready to face a whole new chapter in her life!”
“She will have such a cute latin mix Baby… cuz yall have good Genes! Let this be her happiness she deserves it,” another wrote.
“Congratulations to Victoria! Sometimes the best surprises come in small packages,” another fan wrote.
“When will people quit pretending to be so perfect!? I haaate it! Either wish the best or keep scrolling it’s not hard! Hoping for a boy to change the game up a little [laughing out loud],” one Instagram user wrote.
The pregnancy news broke just days after Victoria’s divorce from her second husband, Domenick Crapello, was finalized. Us Weekly‘s source said the former couple have been living apart for several months. Victoria shares a daughter, Cami, with Crapello. She and her first husband, Brian Jones, share daughter Cerenity.
“Victoria and the guy had an instantaneous connection,” the Us Weekly insider said. “Leah and Victoria have been back to Costa Rica since to see the baby’s dad. Victoria went back to Costa Rica and it felt like she had left a part of herself there. It’s the perfect story for 90 Day Fiancรฉ!”
Messer’s trip to Costa Rica with Lowry and her sister was filmed, so fans will get to see how this all plays out in the new season of Teen Mom 2. New episodes begin on MTV Tuesday, Sept. 10 at 9 p.m. ET.
