Cast

Cast Member Age (During Season) Hometown Biography
Jenelle Evans[1] 19[1] Oak Island, North Carolina[1][2] For beach bunny Jenelle, life isn't as carefree as it used to be. Since giving birth to her son Jace, Jenelle has found it tough to reconcile the responsibilities of motherhood with her love of partying. Because Jace's father is completely out of the picture, Jenelle relies heavily on her own mother, Barbara, for help raising Jace, a dependency that aggravates their already rocky relationship. Jenelle struggles to prove herself as a mom while trying to establish her independence and maintain her teenage life, which means lots of time out with her friends. Barbara thinks Jenelle is doing everything wrong, and that the baby needs a responsible mother, so she sues Jenelle for custody.

Upon realizing she can't afford to fight her mother in a courtroom, Jenelle agrees to sign over custody of Jace temporarily. Trying to get her life on track, she enrolls in college classes, tries to support herself financially, and finds a new romance with Keiffer. However the path to success isn't as easy as she anticipates, and she finds herself battling Barbara to be allowed to spend time with her son and desperate to keep a roof over her head. As she vacillates between her dual roles as mom and teenager, she must decide if she's willing to sacrifice her youth and freedom for the sake of her son.

On October 15, 2010, Jenelle Evans and her boyfriend, Kieffer Delp, were arrested for drug possession and breaking into a house in Oak Island, North Carolina.[3] On March 7, 2011, Evans appeared in court to answer charges of breaking and entering, injury to real and personal property, second degree trespass, and harassment. The case will be continued to April 29, 2011.[4]

Chelsea Houska[1] 19[1] Vermillion, South Dakota[1][5] Popular softball star Chelsea dropped out of high school in her senior year while pregnant with her daughter, Aubree. She has a tumultuous relationship with her on-again, off-again boyfriend Adam, who is also Aubree's father. Chelsea benefits from a strong support group of family and friends, and she moves into a place of her own in Sioux Falls, South Dakota with her best friend and Aubree. Now that she's on her own, she relishes her quality time with Aubree, but has trouble motivating herself to earn her diploma online and pursue her dream of enrolling in beauty school.

Her ongoing emotional tug-of-war with Adam keeps escalating, while her family and friends grow increasingly vocal about wanting him out of her life for good. Chelsea struggles to negotiate others' expectations with her own desire to provide her daughter with a loving family with both parents in the picture. She's determined to make things work with Adam, even if doing so means losing some of the people closest to her.

Kailyn Lowry[1] 18[1] Nazareth, Pennsylvania[1][6] A very motivated high school senior, Kailyn is the serious and stoic teen mom of baby Isaac. After discovering that she was pregnant with her boyfriend Jo's baby, Kailyn tried hiding the pregnancy for as long as possible from her classmates and friends. But when she had to quit the Lacrosse team, however, everyone discovered her secret. When her ongoing battles with her mother left her with no place to go, Kailyn was taken in by Jo's family, who supported her throughout her pregnancy.

Kailyn and Jo's relationship begins to crumble under the stress of balancing their lives and raising Isaac. The non-stop fighting is wearing thin on Jo's family, and the two break up, with Kailyn continuing to live at the house, but this time in the basement. When she starts dating someone new, Jo and his family find out and she is forced to move back in with her mother. To insure that she can independently support herself and Isaac, Kailyn juggles two part time jobs and a full course load at the community college while dating and being a full time mother. She hopes that all of her hard work will one day pay off with a successful career as a dental hygienist and a stable home for Isaac.

In February 2011, the father of Kailyn's child, Jo Rivera, was charged with a marijuana related offense.[7]

Leah Simms[1][8] 18[1] Elkview, West Virginia[1][9] Former cheerleader Leah is the teen mother of twins Aliannah "Ali" and Aleeah. Leah sacrificed her senior year in order to graduate, take care of her babies, and try to make things work with the twins' father, Corey. But after Leah cheated on him with her ex-boyfriend, the two broke up and now have a turbulent relationship.

Leah is a country girl who wears her heart on her sleeve, and when discovers that Aliannah is developing at a slower rate than her sister, and she reaches out to Corey. With one of their babies potentially disabled, the two strengthen their bond, reconciling to be there and committing to one another. As they grow closer, they continue to move fast, with a whirlwind proposal and a wedding in the near future.

Leah and Corey were married on October 17, 2010.[10]
