Tyler Baltierra and Catelynn Baltierra rose to fame when they started being captured on MTV cameras for season 1 of Teen Mom in 2009, a few months before they welcomed their first daughter, Carly, together.
Despite facing numerous turmoils in their relationship, they've always managed to come out stronger at the end of the day. That is the exact reason why fans were shocked when the pair revealed that they were expecting a girl and would be living apart for a month. Let's find out more about it.
From middle school sweethearts to reality TV stars, they've faced a lot of hurdles in their relationship and came out stronger each time.
The couple was filmed facing a rocky moment when 26-year-old Tyler Baltierra admitted to his pregnant wife that he wasn't 'happy' in their marriage.
Catelynn recently returned from battling mental health issues in a rehabilitation facility, leaving their three-year-old daughter Novalee under her father's care.
All you ignorant people are the reason why mental health still has this huge stigma around it! #GetEducated #KeepTalkingMH you have NO clue unless you have been through it yourself. Some of you people disgust me

Although the announcement of them living separately may not appeal in the current situation, the couple is actually using it as an exercise to help better cope with their recent marital troubles.
Seriously...the best feeling as a father...is to watch pure joy light up on the face of his daughter! https://t.co/7uxpZqQcIF

On Monday, November 25, the idea was first suggested by Tyler who proposed the idea of living apart for a month following a couple's therapy retreat they attended in Sedona. Catelynn was eventually receptive to the news, but she feared that Tyler had an ulterior motive for his suggestion.
Even though they've agreed to spend time apart, Catelynn clarified that they have not discussed getting a divorce and won't be seeing other people during their time apart.
