Teen Mom star Tyler Baltierra is proving he’s the ultimate girl dad.
Baltierra, 33, shared a time-lapsed video via Instagram on Friday, April 11, featuring the proud dad doing his daughter Novalee’s hair before school. “Novalee specifically requested that I play this song while getting all the girls ready for school this morning! 😂🤷♂️ #GirlDad #BlessedByDaughters,” he wrote. Baltierra shares children Nova, 10, Vaeda, 6, and Rya, 3, with Catelynn Lowell.
One person wrote in the comments section, “Why doesn’t her mom get her ready ?? Ohhh she’s prob sleeping.” Baltierra was quick to defend not only his wife’s right to sleep in, but his own responsibilities as a father.
“Yeah she is sleeping, because she deserves to sleep in after constantly prioritizing her babies needs over her own, day in & day out! I don’t get the big deal?” he wrote. “I’m also a parent to these girls & just because I’m a dad doesn’t mean I’m naive to the fact that women are just expected to do things like this on the daily & nobody claps for them or praises them for it, so why is it any different for men & fathers when they do the same simple parental tasks that ALL fathers should be doing anyway?”
Teen Mom stars Tyler Baltierra and Catelynn Lowell have hit back at critics who claimed they’re “bashing” daughter Carly’s adoptive parents. Lowell, 32, shared an Instagram Story on Tuesday, February 4, originally posted by Baltierra, 33, that defended the pair’s decision to speak openly about the child’s adoptive parents, Brandon and Teresa Davis, in recent […]
Baltierra shared a screenshot of the exchange via his Instagram Story as well, writing, “Can we PLEASE stop this archaic rhetoric!? Dads are parents too!”
Lowell, 33, and Baltierra also share daughter Carly, 15, whom they placed for adoption in 2009. According to the former 16 and Pregnant stars, they have had no contact with Carly for two years.
“The last time I saw Carly was, like, two years ago,” Lowell exclusively shared with Us Weekly before the season premiere of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter in January. “It’s very hard. At the end of the day, I really just want whatever she wants and whatever that looks like for Carly, that’s all that I want.”
The open adoption was successful for many years, but gradually took a turn when Carly’s adoptive parents Brandon and Teresa Davis began taking steps to make it a closed adoption.
Mike Coppola/Getty Images for MTV Teen Mom‘s Tyler Baltierra can’t help but gush over his special night out with his daughter Nova, 9. “Me & Novalee got to share another first experience together, our first ever Daddy Daughter Dance & it was literally one of the best nights I’ve had!” Tyler, 32, shared in an […]
Earlier this month, Baltierra said he was “disappointed” to learn that photos of Carly had leaked online. “It’s literally heartbreaking & sad that people are still continuing to share pictures & now videos of Carly,” Baltierra wrote via his Instagram Story on April 5.
“The same people & pages who brutalize me & Cate with daily cruelty/hate for just speaking about our adoption story publicly are now participating in sharing her actual picture & video publicly,” he continued. “We haven’t shown her face in over 11 years because that’s what her parents wanted & now all of you are just doing it without a care in the world & it’s truly devastating.”
