Kylee did not provide further details regarding her husband’s sudden passing, and Fernandez’s cause of death remains unclear at this time. According to Entertainment Tonight, Rachel Beaver, Beaver’s sister and fellow Teen Mom star, also confirmed Fernandez’s passing. In a tribute shared to her Instagram Story, Rachel shared a photo of Fernandez swimming in a pool with his daughter Emerson, writing, “I can’t even begin to express the pain I feel right now. Gone too soon … Rest easy Fernandez.” Beaver, meanwhile, shared a throwback video of Fernandez with their daughter, writing in the caption, “RIP.”

Teen Mom fans best know Fernandez from his appearance on Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant Seasons 2 and 3 in 2020 and 2021. Per Page Six, throughout both seasons, the former couple attempted to work on their relationship and co-parent their daughter. MTV, the network behind the reality show franchise, did not immediately return the outlet’s request for comment regarding Fernandez’s death.

Little Nolyn arrived on May 22, with Kylee announcing his birth on Facebook by sharing, “Momma and Daddy had lots of bonding time, so now we are ready to make it public, and show this miracle God helped us create!”
