Tyler and Catelynn Baltierra just celebrated their youngest daughter’s 1st birthday, but the reality star couple are already talking about expanding their family even further.
The Teen Mom OG star recently sat down with PEOPLE Magazine to discuss their growing family. “My baby fever is inane,” Catelynn told the publication. Her husband agreed with her, adding, “We’re not done yet. We just love being parents too much.” Cate and Tyler share daughters Novalee, 5, and Vaeda, 1. They are also biological parents to an older daughter, 10-year old Carly, who they placed for adoption in high school. Their journey was documented on MTV’s 16 and Pregnant before they signed on to Teen Mom OG.
It sounds like the couple’s desire to have a son after three daughters are motivating their baby fever. “I want a boy. I want a boy so bad. I told Cate, I don’t really want another kid, I just want a boy,” Tyler commented. But his wife wasn’t as convinced that a boy is in the cards for them. “With our luck, it probably would be another girl,” Catelynn explained. It also sounds like the reality stars may try for another child sooner rather than later. Catelynn, who is currently 27, says she wants to be “done with kids before I’m 30.”
This isn’t the only time the Baltierra have talked about having another baby and specifically trying for a boy. Last October, Catelynn made similar comments when she confirmed they’re not done having children. She posted a photo to Instagram that read: "If I get pregnant again and pink confetti comes out of my gender reveal balloon, I'm knocking the whole food table over! Party over everybody go home.” In the caption, Cate kept is short and sweet by writing, “Yep!” Catelynn’s comments caused quite the stir amongst fans, who told her that her only wish should be for a healthy pregnancy, leading the star to later clarify her comments online.
Similarly, after revealing her third baby’s gender in 2018, Catelyn expressed shock that she was having another girl. “I was so shocked that it was a girl because I for sure thought it was a boy!” she told Us Weekly at the time. “Tyler knew the sex before I did." She wasn’t afraid to admit that she was “so shocked” and “almost cried” when she had her gender reveal, though she quickly changed her tune. "I’m super excited it’s a girl now. Since our miscarriage, I just am thankful to get another chance, and as long as it’s healthy, that’s all that matters," Catelynn said.
We wonder what she and Tyler will say if their next pregnancy is another girl!
