The Entire ‘Teen Mom’ Photo Guide

Since its December 2009 debut, Teen Mom quickly became a massive hit reality show for MTV. But with news breaking on Thursday that Bristol Palin would reportedly be joining the OG cast on its upcoming season, it’s time to look back at our favorite drama queens and kings.

As a spinoff of the network’s other teen pregnancy reality series 16 and Pregnant, Teen Mom followed the lives of a handful of the same young adults who appeared the original series. Rather than focusing exclusively on the pregnancies, the series depicted the lives of young mothers and their day-to-day life trying to raise children while barely only being adults themselves.

Over the years, fans grew deeply invested in the drama of the lives of the teen moms, resulting in the show becoming a pop-culture phenomenon.

The series would go on to spark two more iterations, as well as catapulting the a number of the reality series stars into bonafide celebrities.

Scroll down for a photo guide of the entire Teen Mom franchise cast, and let us know who your favorite Teen Mom is the comments!
