When asked how often they would talk, Briana responded: “I wouldn’t say often, sometimes… Maybe every other day.”
She then went into the second time she met Chris in the fall of 2021 in Philadelphia.
Briana said: “He invited me to be on his podcast. It is called P.T.S.D. The actual name is Pressure Talk with Single Dads, and his podcast is just about his stories, his struggles being a single dad. And he does it with his cousin.”
TV MEET UP
She was in Philadelphia with Chris for three days, as they recorded the podcast and filmed for Teen Mom 2.
Briana then mentioned a third time the two met up right before Thanksgiving in 2021.
He met her in Kissimmee, Florida, where she lives, but she claimed the two did not spend the night together.
Their meeting in Philadelphia was filmed for and aired on Teen Mom 2.
Chris signed up for ’s current season, a casting decision that made Kailyn decide to stop filming.
Her future with the franchise is currently up in the air.
On the episode, Chris complained to her enemy Briana about their co-parenting relationship.
He said in the scene: “It’s a set schedule. Every other week I get them for a certain amount of days, but it’s corny to me. Why can’t I chill with my kids the way that other dads do?
“When we good, I can see my kids whenever I want. I try to be nice… but you can only handle so much… I became real angry, bitter, resentful through this.”
KAIL & BRI'S FEUD
Kailyn and Briana first started feuding when she joined Teen Mom 2 in 2017.
Briana began dating Kailyn’s ex-husband Javi Marroquin, as the two were together for three months before splitting up.
Briana claimed Chris and show producers told her about the arrest, as she posted about the details on social media and was later sued by Kailyn.
The Sun has extensively reported on the nasty legal war between the co-stars.
KAILYN SUES BRIANA
In Kail’s initial complaint against Briana filed in June, her legal team claimed that her co-star’s comments are false and were made "for the purpose of causing Lowry harm."
The court papers continued: "Defendant used Lowry to gain additional media attention for herself."
Kailyn then went into their long-standing feud in the court papers filed on June 25, which began when Briana joined Teen Mom 2 in 2017.
Kailyn claimed Briana "has a history of making false public statements regarding Lowry’s family life,” including when she allegedly responded to a Twitter user “[Lowry] gets beat the f**k up by Chris in front of her kids.”
Kailyn mentioned in the lawsuit when she was excluded from the June 8, 2021, Teen Mom 2 episode.
Briana claimed she wasn’t included because she allegedly “committed violent, physical crimes towards Mr. Lopez. Defendant also asserted that Lowry was arrested for breaking and entering into the home of Mr. Lopez’s mother.”
Briana alleged Kailyn “didn’t want to film” about the alleged incident.
Kailyn claimed she did not break into Chris’ mother’s home or beat him up.
She claimed the statements “threatened” her “ability to earn a living" and that she suffered “personal humiliation and mental anguish.”
She requested $30,000, reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees, and a jury trial.
BRIANA FIGHTS BACK
In Briana’s answer to the complaint, her attorney claimed his client could not have defamed Kailyn with "false" stories because she was arrested for the alleged assault on her ex.
The attorney wrote: “She verifiably was arrested for this, and her arrest garnered media attention.”
Briana's lawyer called Kailyn’s lawsuit "meritless" and demanded the entire case be dismissed.
Also in the court documents, Kailyn alleged Briana claimed she obtained the arrest information from “credible source” Chris, 27.
Briana also credited the source of the information as “production,” meaning the producers and crew that film .
The Sun was the first to report on Kailyn's offensive touching charges against Chris, which were later dropped.
FIGHT OVER SEXUAL HISTORY
The legal war has been nasty, as their latest fight involved Briana fighting to keep her sexual history confidential.
Earlier this month, Briana's lawyer filed a Motion for a Protective Order to ban Kailyn from seeking information about her “sexual relationship with a third party” without confidentiality protection during her March 7 deposition.
Kailyn then filed to dismiss Briana's request to keep the sex details confidential.
After a judge allegedly denied Kailyn’s request, she asked for Briana’s motion for a protective order to be “set aside.”
Kailyn’s lawyer argued that nothing in Briana’s deposition “should deserve the classification of confidential.”
But Briana’s lawyer fought back, claiming Kailyn “abandoned her vexatious attempt to have [Briana's] sexual history protected from the public, and now “attempts to engage in further gamesmanship” by arguing the request should be “set aside” and “moot.”
The court papers read: “This bad faith [motion] argues that the filing of Ms. DeJesus’ deposition transcript - which contains no confidential information - somehow waives Ms. DeJesus’ right to seek protection from providing future answers in a resumed deposition that has not even occurred yet.”
He claims the redacted portions Kailyn provided to the court “contain no confidential information.”
Briana’s lawyer continued that this argument “has reached the point of absurdity.”
The court papers read: “Ms. Lowry and her counsel have now filed a second round of bad faith and misleading motions to try and obscure the fact that all of this ink has been spilled because [Kailyn’s attorney] lacked the class and professionalism to agree that questions about private sexual conduct should be kept confidential.”
BRIANA IN COURT
As The Sun previously reported, Briana attended a court hearing in Florida on Tuesday for Judge Robert J. Egan to rule on her anti-slapp motion, which protects a person’s freedom of speech, that she filed to have the case dismissed.

Briana’s lawyer told The Sun after Tuesday’s hearing: “I think we got what is best in life - a thoughtful judge that I am confident will come down on the side that relied on the First Amendment, and not on the side that relied on negativity and smears.
“There has been no ruling on the confidentiality request, but it will be moot if we prevail, and I have faith that we will."
