Kailyn Lowry details life as a 'mom of 7' after welcoming twins
Teenage mother 2 alum Kailyn Lowry has her hands full with seven children – and she knows it can be a lot to handle.
Lowry, 31, tackled the now-viral “I'm a…” TikTok trend on Friday, January 19, where users come up with different tasks that categorize the roles they have. Lowry's version was based on her being a “mother of seven.” (She shares son Isaac, 14, with Jo Riverason Lincoln, 10, met Javi Marroquinsons Lux, 6, and Creed, 2, with Chris Lopez, and son Rio, 14 months, and newborn twins with boyfriend Elijah Scott.)
“I'm a mother of seven, of course I'm going to sit in my car for a moment of sanity,” Lowry began in the social media video as she sat in the front seat of her SUV. “I'm a mother of seven, of course people are going to say, 'Kail, how the hell do you do this?' I am the mother of seven children, and of course I am expected to be in five places at the same time.”
She continued, “I'm a mother of seven, of course I have five car seats in my truck. I'm a mother of seven, of course I break up fights all day long. I am a mother of seven children and of course I find it difficult to plan dinner because everyone wants different things.”
Lowry's list also noted that her “boys get hand-me-downs” from their older siblings, that she still “pulls out all the stops for every birthday” and that she plans her budget around the cost of sports equipment and team registration fees.

“I'm a mother of seven, I never planned this for myself, but it happened and I literally wouldn't have it any other way,” she concluded. “Because I love being a mother of seven.”
Hours earlier on Friday, Lowry revealed that she and Scott had welcomed their second and third children together.
Kailyn Lowry has given fans several insights into her relationship with Elijah Scott via social media since they started dating. Lowry confirmed her romance with Scott via Instagram in April 2022, two years after her 2020 divorce from ex Chris Lopez, with whom she shares sons Lux and Creed. (The Teen Mom 2 alum […]
“I ended up giving birth at 35 weeks,” she said on her “Barely Famous” podcast, explaining that she had a C-section. “I was terrified because I didn't like the idea, but I knew I had to do it because [one] baby was violated.”
Lowry has given birth to a boy and a girl, but has not yet shared their names. The twins will be her last two babies as she underwent a tubal ligation during the procedure.
“They cut out my tubes,” she added on the podcast. “I remember laying there thinking, 'This is taking forever.'”
Lowry continued, “When I signed the papers for the pipes, they said, 'That could be possible [several side effects].' Side effects include regret. I thought, 'Oh, seven kids, I would never regret this.' I'd be lying if I didn't have racing thoughts [after it was done].”
