Kailyn Lowry and Javi Marroquin: Reuniting ... But Why? (EXCLUSIVE)

Fans of Teen Mom 2 will likely be surprised to learn that former spouses Kailyn Lowry and Javi Marroquin are getting back together.

No, it's not what you think, but it's still a reunion of sorts. 

The parents of Lincoln aren't reconciling from a romantic perspective, but they are forever linked, and are joining forces once again.

We caught up exclusively with Kailyn to talk about the reason she's linking back up with her ex-husband, and what fans can expect ...

1. A love story

Kailyn and Javi married on September 4, 2012. Teen Mom 2 fans quickly fell in love with them as a couple. Alas, it did not work out.

2. A contentious breakup

Kailyn and Javi's marriage produced one child, Lincoln, and so many happy moments. But it was often tumultuous, and their 2016 split was marked by public feuds.

3. He said, she said

He said, she said. Kailyn and Javi were a textbook case of this age-old phrase, as they traded plenty of barbs online in regard to rumors about the other and the end of their marriage. Which is why it's fitting that ...

4. They're teaming back up ...

... on two companion books together, entitled “He Said” and “She Said.” Seriously!

5. His side, her side

The two books will respectively tell Lowry and Marroquin’s sides of what went down in their relationship.

6. What you see isn't always what you get

"I would say that because of the short time our segments on MTV are edited down to, we were never able to tell our full story," Kailyn says of her segments on Teen Mom 2.
