Teen Mom star Tyler Baltierra praised his wife Catelynn Lowell on Instagram on Sunday after the reality television personality lost 30 pounds.
Baltierra, a 34-year-old native of Mount Clemens, Michigan, posted a before-and-after photograph showing Lowell, also 34, dressed in a witch costume across multiple years for Halloween.
"Can we just take a moment to acknowledge how beautiful my wife is!?" Baltierra wrote in the caption accompanying the comparison shot on the photo-sharing platform.
He added, "She's down 30lbs & I'm so beyond proud of her! I love you babe @catelynnmtv & you're always the most beautiful to me!" Baltierra also attached the hashtags #MyBabe, #Soulmate, #Queen and #SexyWitch to the Halloween-related posts.
Baltierra family Halloween costumes and celebrations
Sunday's tribute followed a series of photographs that Baltierra shared on Instagram on Saturday from the family's Halloween celebration, showing the couple posing alongside their children. Baltierra dressed up as the DC Comics superhero character Nightwing for the occasion and wrote in the caption, "HAPPY HALLOWEEN from The Baltierras!"
Each of the couple's three youngest daughters wore a themed outfit in the family photographs. Four-year-old Rya followed her mother's lead by dressing up as a witch, 11-year-old Novalee wore a Stick Man costume, and seven-year-old Vaeda dressed as Pennywise, the villainous clown from the horror story It.
Baltierra and Lowell also welcomed an older daughter, 17-year-old Carly, whom they placed up for adoption. The couple celebrated their 11-year wedding anniversary on August 22.
The pair first became known to television audiences through the MTV reality series 16 and Pregnant and its spin-off Teen Mom OG. Broadcast on the American cable television network MTV, the long-running franchise documents young parents as they navigate relationships, family life and raising children on camera. Mount Clemens, Baltierra's hometown, is a Michigan city located northeast of Detroit.
Fan reactions to Catelynn Lowell weight loss
Numerous fans left comments on Baltierra's Sunday post applauding Lowell for losing 30 pounds, with several followers noting that the reality star has given birth to four children.
"Having one baby is hard," one Instagram user wrote in the comments. "Two, even harder to find yourself whatever that may be, but 4 babies!! Way to go!! You look amazing!!! Great supportive partner?! Even better."
Another commenter called Lowell her "favorite" cast member from the franchise and praised her motherhood. The user wrote that "she's beautiful kind hearted [and] heyy the girl created 4 amazing children our bodies do amazing things [and] they [don't] all fit one size."
Other supporters left responses reading, "Once a baddie, always a baddie" and "Well done Catelynn, beautiful always." One follower added, "She's so beautiful. Always has been, always will be. Her soul is the gorgeous part too."
Catelynn Lowell on Teen Mom OG weight remarks and body-shaming
Health and physical transformations have long been a public subject for both cast members. Over the years, Baltierra has regularly posted photographs to his own social media pages documenting his personal fitness routine and weight-loss regimen.
Lowell previously spoke out against body-shaming during an appearance on the Virtual Reali-Tea podcast in 2023. During that interview, she defended her husband over a widely discussed remark he made during an episode of Teen Mom OG in 2016, saying the comment had been taken "so out of context."
In the 2016 television episode, Lowell said she had been debating whether to sign up for a weight-loss plan. Baltierra responded to her by saying, "It's your body, you can do what you want. I mean, obviously, I don't want no heifer for a wife."
Addressing the exchange on the podcast in 2023, Lowell made clear that she does not tolerate mistreatment in her marriage. She said that if she "was ever being body-shamed or called out of my name in front of my kids" by a partner, she "would be gone" from the relationship.
"I don't want my children to think that that's okay to be treated like that," Lowell added on the podcast.
