Teen Mom Kailyn Lowry celebrates MTV ‘finally’ changing her name after star admitted she ‘begged’ network
TEEN Mom Kailyn Lowry celebrated MTV “finally” changing her name after the reality star admitted she “begged” the network to do it.
The former reality star, known as Kailyn, will now be forever known as Kail Lowry.
In an Instagram Story, the Teen Mom 2 star shared a snapshot of the change by her fan, Kendi Roberson.
Above three laughing emojis, the caption stated, “They finally put Kail.”
Kail mentioned the behind-the-scene details of the name change during her recent Coffee Convos podcast.
The reality star had to receive the green light first from MTV to make the switch.
Kailyn had been thinking about the decision after not taking her now ex-husband Javi Marroquin’s name when they married in 2012.
The star explained: “I chose not to change my last name to Marroquin, or hyphenate it.”
Javi, 28, was bothered by his ex’s decision “because at the time his brother had gotten married maybe a month or two later and his wife went the next day and changed her last name.”
The 16 & Pregnant star continued: “But I already had branding in my name. My entire brand had already been Kail Lowry.
“Well on Teen Mom 2 they’re finally changing it to Kail.”
Kail confirmed the name change and said: “Yes, yes. I begged that from the beginning.”
The mother of four shares one of her sons, 7-year-old Lincoln, with her former husband, Javi.
The TV star recently showed her fans how Lincoln happens to be color-blind.
In a series of Instagram Stories, Kail presented Lincoln with a bunch of blue objects.
She initially thought it was “weird” that he kept referring to them as “purple.”
Lincoln kept staring at the football as he tried to figure out what color it was.
After Lincoln struggled to come up with the color, Kail responded: “If you see purple that’s OK too.”
Kailyn previously mentioned that Lincoln could not see blue after he attempted to name the color of her eyes.
To Lincoln, he thought her eyes appeared to be “greenish, brownish.”
A recent video surfaced of the Kailyn star clapping back at a troll.
During an Instagram Q&A session, the troll asked about her nine-month-old son: “I thought Creed was mixed? He looks white.”

Kailyn responded: “Should we do a lesson on genetics or a punnett square perhaps?”
Kail shares Creed as well as son Lux with her ex, Chris Lopez, 26.
Since the baby’s birth, the 29-year-old mother has been squashing down rumors that Chris is not Creed’s father.
