Teen Mom 2 alum Kailyn Lowry has very specific stipulations when it comes to her eventual funeral.
“The last time I updated it officially was, like, 2021, so I needed to go through it [recently],” Lowry, 33, said of her living will on the Tuesday, February 3, episode of her “Karma & Chaos” podcast. “I’m going through it, and there’s a section listing the items that you would want to go to certain people and then there’s a section of your wishes.”
According to Lowry, the “wishes” section of her will now includes a “physical list of who’s not welcome” at her funeral.
“I joked about that in the past, but that’s real now,” she said. “It should hold up, if you pick the right person to execute [it].”
Lowry then revealed exactly who will not be allowed at her funeral, including exes Jo Rivera, Javi Marroquin and Chris Lopez, in addition to Jo’s former girlfriend Vee Rivera, Jo’s mom, Janet Rivera, Marroquin’s wife, Lauren Comeau, Lowry’s former nanny Natalie and her “oldest son.” Lowry, meanwhile, acknowledged that Lopez, 31, and Comeau, 34, likely “wouldn’t go” to the memorial in the first place.
“They are not welcome in any capacity,” she stated. “Those are the people who are not allowed. Do not even attempt to step foot in my funeral. That’s my list, and don’t f***ing show up.”
Lowry shares son Elliot, 16, with Jo, 33, as well as son Lincoln, 12, with ex-husband Marroquin, 33, and sons Lux, 8, and Creed, 5, with Lopez. The MTV alum later welcomed son Rio in 2022 and twins Verse and Valley in 2024 with Elijah Scott.
Lowry’s podcast cohost, Becky Hayter, subsequently questioned the validity of her pal’s decision if her death occurred relatively soon and the kids needed the support of their respective dads.
“I don’t care,” Lowry quipped. “Nope, nope, nope, nope. There are so many people in my life that could coordinate getting my kids where they needed to be, that there is absolutely no reason that their fathers need to be there. Elijah can come. There’s no reason for them to be there, [and] those people are not the people that I would want to support my kids in my death.”
Kailyn Lowry is a proud mom and loves showing life with her little ones on social media. The MTV personality became a mom in 2010 when she and her then-boyfriend, Jo Rivera, welcomed son Isaac. While the high school sweethearts split shortly after, the former couple continue to coparent. Rivera said during a November 2020 episode […]
She continued, “Yes, that’s their other parents, and I understand that, but the amount of animosity between all of us? They’re gonna have to hear it and support our kids in some capacity, but they’re not going to be their main source of support at that time.”
Lowry has previously been candid about her coparenting woes.
“[It] ebbs and flows,” she exclusively told Us Weekly in August 2024 of her dynamic with Marroquin, specifically. “Some days it’s really great. Other days, we hit some bumps in the road. I think being that we’re divorced and sort of still in the public eye, I think that we do the best we can.”
At the time, Lowry also revealed that her relationship with Jo is usually good — but “not every day.”
“[I’ve learned to] keep most of it off the internet,” she said. “It’s only been about two years since I’ve really, really honed in on that and actually stuck by that. It’s been, probably, the best thing that I could have done for my kids and my coparenting. For a little while it was, it was a little weird just because the older the child gets, the dynamic of coparenting shifts, so we don’t need to communicate every day.”
