Kail Lowry, who first appeared on 16 and Pregnant and the Teen Mom franchise, found out her fiancé Elijah had cheated on her when the woman he slept with posted a storytime on TikTok that went viral with three million views before Kail even saw it. She was on a work trip in Calabasas with no cell service. Ten months had passed since the cruise she paid for. When her assistant told her there was a photo of the woman touching Elijah’s arm, Kail didn’t need more proof: “He’s that type of person—if he allowed someone that close to him to touch his arm, he did it.” She told her assistant to have him moved out by the time she landed at 7 a.m. He was gone.

Cheating from both sides

Kail has been both the cheater and the cheated on, and she speaks from that dual experience without moralizing. When you are the cheater, she says, “you can’t sleep at night because of what you’ve done or what is in your phone.” She still has two exes she would apologize to today if she saw them: “I loved the way they loved me, but I didn’t want them. So why didn’t I end it? That was so selfish.” On the receiving end, she got her karma—cheated on multiple times by people she would have done anything for. Her advice is blunt: “Sex won’t make him love you, and a baby won’t make him stay.”
