Baltierra adds that all he can do is to be “authentic” and address issues whenever he feels the need to do so.

As many Teen Mom OG fans know, Tyler Baltierra and Catelynn Lowell have been through an emotional roller coaster during their time on reality television. The couple was first introduced on MTV’s 16 and Pregnant, and won over the hearts of fans when they made the heartbreaking decision to place their daughter, Carly, up for adoption.

Yes, actually they do have free reign to criticize & comment on our lives. We put ourselves out there for the world to see, flaws & all. What did we all think was going to happen? All I can do is be as authentic as I can & address whatever I feel is necessary! ????? https://t.co/FQqrX9s8wK
