The ever-private reality star shocked fans when she opened up about her new love on her podcast.
THE ONE?
During an episode of Coffee Convos earlier this month, the mom of four reveals that she's met the one.
She casually drops the bombshell news while talking about weddings with her cohost/friend.
On the topic of weddings, Kailyn tells Lindsie: "If I ever get married again I'm not having bridesmaids or groomsmen. It's not a day for anyone else but myself and my husband or partner."
The answer prompts Lindsie to ask: "Wait, is the wedding back on the table?"
Kailyn replies: "I would say yes. I wouldn't have, like, a huge wedding or anything. I feel like I would have a cute, very, very simple ceremony and maybe, like, a dinner afterwards."
She goes on to say: "I met the love of my life and I – yeah."
Lindsie appears shocked by the news, despite being both a cocollaborater and close friend of the Pennsylvania native.
MYSTERY MAN
She then inquires: "How do you know?"
Kailyn says: "So, it's crazy because they say when you know, you just know and that's how I feel.
"I feel like I've known him for a lifetime. Like, I feel like I have known him forever."
She continues: "You know how I said when I get engaged or married is when I'll, like, post them? I'm ready to, like, soft-launch.
"I'm ready. It just feels like we've been best friends forever and now we're just together."
The Teen Mom 2 star concludes: "Like, I feel like I've known him forever."
REVEAL PLANS
During the episode, Kailyn confesses that she thought she was ready to unveil her boyfriend.
The TV personality says: "I just want to do it at the right time. I don't want it to be too premature.
"I don't know what this is. I was on and off with someone before this forever and I don't know."
Kailyn tells listeners: "I never wanted to post him. I'm excited about it, I feel good about it."
Asked if she thinks her plans to post her new man are "impulsive," she says: "It might be impulsive, but ... I know what picture it's gonna be.
"I made, like, a little reel, like an Instagram Reel, but it just very much looks homemade. Lux took a picture of us – I'm gonna send it to you, and this is the one I'm gonna post."
She noted: "I just have to edit out his company on his sweatshirt. I just feel like it was a very organic picture."
Upon seeing the photo, Lindsie says: "You guys are totally in love in this photo right now."
Kail teases: "I just feel like this was so organic and off guard."
Lindsie then jokes: "That laugh is the same laugh you make when I talk to you, so this just slightly pisses me off. ... I'm upset. I'm jealous."
As for her plans to unveil her new relationship, Kailyn says she'll do it "maybe within the next two weeks or so."
Kailyn has been married once before.
She and ex Javi Marroquin, who share son Lincoln, tied the knot in September 2012.
The identity of Kailyn's boyfriend remains a mystery, even after her post.
Fans recently figured out that she had been secretly dating Malik Montgomery, whom she met through mutual friends.
Since their split, Malik has spoken very publicly about the relationship and has had less than kind words for his ex.
Late last month, he attacked Kailyn during an Instagram Q&A.
A fan asked him: "Why you and the girl from Teen Mom break up?"
He replied: "Lying, cheating, manipulation, guilt, no trust, poor decision making, the list could grow."
Malik has been in Kailyn’s life for a while, as he posted a photo with her in a bar back in January 2019.
The two have also been photographed in group photos over the years.
According to his social media, he is a “business owner” and is also in customer service.
Kailyn used to comment frequently on his photos through the years, most recently writing on March 10, “So exciting!! Congratulations” after he bought a new car.
Malik posted a video on March 13 where he revealed he is single.
He said: “I’m single now. I was in a relationship with somebody for an extended period of time. There were a lot of ups and downs. It was a f**king rollercoaster. Going into this year I feel like I’ve been working on myself so much to be the best version of myself.
“It’s so unexpected. You can do everything for somebody. Be the best person for yourself and give your best effort to somebody. But if somebody is not for you none of the s**t you do is going to matter ever.
“You can’t keep giving somebody more of the stuff they already don’t appreciate. You can’t expect them to love you if they can’t love you the way you want to be loved.
“It took a long time to get to this point and realize that s**t is important. What you want for you is important. It took a long time to get here.”
He continued: “I held my peace for so long on a lot of things. I don’t want to live like that anymore. I don’t want to be in the shadows anymore. I’m a man. I’m Malik.
“I’ve been quiet for so long and finally I’m at a point where I can talk about it and vent through it and work through it.”
Weeks later, he appeared on her Barely Famous podcast as Kailyn's boyfriend.
He said the "worst part" of dating Kail during their on-again, off-again relationship was the "roller coaster" of her dealing with her baby daddy Chris.
He said: "What does she see in this guy? I didn't pay attention to the red flags earlier. I trusted you. I ignored the fact that you still weren't over Chris. It was difficult for you to trust a new relationship."
It's not known at this point definitively what led to their split.
Kailyn had been rumored to have moved on with her neighbor Elijah, an Army serviceman who previously lived in Virginia and Hawaii.
