Fast forward a few years to middle school, when Cate met her future husband, Tyler Baltierra. When they were kids, Tyler's dad Butch was married to Catelynn's mom, April, technically making them step-siblings! However, Butch was in jail for much of their relationship and they eventually separated in 2013.

In Catelynn and Tyler's 2015 memoir, Conquering Chaos, they talk about growing up in broken homes and how they experimented at a young age with drugs and sex.  This behavior eventually led to them getting pregnant when they were still in high school, and, as we saw on 16 & Pregnant, Cate and Ty placed their daughter, Carly, up for adoption after her 2009 birth.

Once they placed their daughter, the couple eventually got their lives together, graduating from high school and moving into their own house in Michigan. In addition to the show and their memoir, Cate and Ty make money through speaking engagements around the country in which they discuss their experience with adoption and try to normalize it for others who may be dealing with a surprise pregnancy. They also had another baby, daughter Novalee Reign, in January and are getting married in August after a decade of dating!
