Teen Mom star Kailyn Lowry was dying to go back to Marriage Boot Camp.

Former ‘Teen Mom’ star Kailyn Lowry may be done with MTV, but that doesn’t mean she’s ready to give up her reality TV career. Lowry attempted to reprise her role on WEtv “Boot Camp Marriage” but the producers turned down her offer, she said on the Feb. 10 episode of her podcast. “Hardly famous.”

The mother of four chatted with dr Is Major, one of the hosts of the “Marriage Boot Camp”. Lowry first appeared on the Reality show in 2016 with her then-husband Javi Marroquin. However, by the time the series aired in September 2017, they were already divorced. The courts finalized their split in December 2016, per Radar online.

Lowry wanted to give Marriage Boot Camp a second chance, but this time with her current boyfriend, 25-year-old Elijah Scott. Unfortunately, the producers weren’t interested.

Lowry was delighted to find out that WEtv’s series was shooting its 19th season in June.

“I didn’t know Marriage Boot Camp was still going on,” she said. “I wanted to be there again”

“That is so exciting. I literally had my agent text her and say, ‘Can Kail come back with her new partner?'” Lowry said. “They said no. They said, ‘We’re not bringing people back,’ but I was like, why not?”

“It’s a new partner,” she added. “It’s a new situation. It could be a first.”

Major said it wasn’t “quite true” that “Marriage Boot Camp” wasn’t going to bring people back. He said they could do it in a “different iteration” of the show, like a “family version.”

He told Lowry it might be possible to come back “in that context” and “put a pin” on that idea.

Lowry said she was the female “Nick Cannon”

Lowry compared himself to Nick Cannon, who has welcomed 12 children with six women since 2011, per person.

Lowry thinks this could be a way to get back into reality TV considering she has four children with three men. “I’m the girl version of Nick Cannon with all my baby daddies,” she said. “Maybe we just have our own show.”

Their first child, 13-year-old Isaac, is from her relationship with high school friend Jo Rivera; her second child, 8-year-old Lincoln, is from her marriage to Marroquin; and her youngest children — 5-year-old Lux ​​and 2-year-old Creed — are from her relationship with Chris Lopez.

In fact, Marroquin and Lowry are currently struggling in their relationship.

“I haven’t really been able to pin it down since ‘Marriage Boot Camp.’ Javi and I don’t even speak to each other,” she admitted to Major. “So things got a little crazy … But we’re strictly co-parenting now. Only communicate via email.”

Lowry then brought it back to 2016, telling Major she found out her divorce was final the day she returned from “marriage boot camp.”

She admitted to struggling with the decision to go through with the divorce. “He wasn’t ready,” Lowry said of Marroquin’s split. “I don’t think it was necessarily me.”

Lowry ended Teen Mom in 2022

Lowry quit Teen Mom in May 2022 after nearly 13 years on the show.

“I think I have to move on,” she said at the season 11 reunion, per People. “I think I have to do my own thing. I think this must be my goodbye. I think I’m ready.”

The podcast host had new goals that no longer aligned with the show. “I want to focus on my growth and my kids,” she told E!’s Daily pop. “I’ve decided it’s time for me to move on.”
