Kailyn Lowry’s Personal Life

Suzanne “Suzi” Irwin gave birth to Kailyn on March 14, 1992, in Honesdale, Pennsylvania. Her father, on the other hand, has been absent from her life since she was a toddler. However, she met him for the first time when she was 17 years old, in 2009. She told the press in 2018 that she was estranged from both of her parents and had no idea where her mother lived, worked, or if she was still alive. 

While filming in 2020, Lowry received a call from her mother. After telling her mother that she was no longer a part of her life due to her lack of contact with her daughter over the years, she hung up. After that, her mother has made no further efforts to contact Lowry since then. 

On the other hand, Kailyn is no longer married. She married Javi Marroquin, a member of the United States Air Force in 2012. The couple gave birth to a son named Lincoln Marshal. However, Lowry filed for divorce in December 2015. 

Subsequently, Javi blamed Kailyn for a miscarriage in a Teen Mom episode involving the two, and the two later appeared together on Marriage Boot Camp. However, Kailyn denied the claims that their marriage had ended due to infidelity, and the two decided to share custody of their son. 

Besides, Kailyn is mother of four children- Isaac Elliott Rivera, Lincoln Marshall,  Luxurious Russell Lowry and Creed Romello Lowry (born July 30, 2020).
