Teen Mom Kailyn Lowry slammed for ‘horrible’ parenting decision after revealing new boyfriend Elijah has moved into home
TEEN Mom Kailyn Lowry has sparked criticism from fans over her parenting style after revealing her new boyfriend, Elijah Scott, moved in with her.
Kailyn, 30, and Elijah, 24, took a big step in their whirlwind romance after a few months of dating.
On Tuesday's installment of her , the reality star opened up to her co-host Vee Rivera and her first baby daddy, Jo Rivera, who appeared as a guest, about her new living situation.
"This just happened the way it happened... it was like why are we paying two mortgages?" Kailyn explained.
Elijah lived next door to Kailyn's $750K Delaware mansion, as she previously referred to him as "hot neighbor" before going public with their relationship.
Followers of the MTV alum suspected the couple was living under the same roof, given her frequent social media posts of her beau at the house.

During last week's episode, Kailyn also revealed that Elijah had rented his home to a friend, though she hadn't confirmed his new address.
Fans were wary of the TV star's decision and its effect on her four children: Isaac, 12; Lincoln, eight; Lux, four; and Creed, one.
An online thread branded Kailyn as "reckless" for allowing her boyfriend to move in soon after they began dating.
"Kail and 'Baby Lijie' have already moved in together…" the original poster wrote, referring to the pet name the TV personality confessed to calling her man.

"3 months into dating, and per BMND, Elijah has moved in with Kail. Wtf?!? He moved out of his (brand new) house that he OWNS, and is renting it to a friend. Now he’s living with Kail and the Chaos. Is she stupid or is she dumb?" they added.
'SO RECKLESS'
Others agreed, bashing the mom of four's parenting tactics.
"This is freaking disgusting and disturbing. How are you going to move a partner into your home after three months. What the f**k?!
"I can't imagine disturbing my daughter's daily routine with a random a** person around all the time. Like, date and f**k whoever you want but keep your kids out of it. Ugh. Poor children," one person commented.
"This is just flat out dangerous. Three months isn’t long enough to really know someone you’re dating. Sorry, that’s just facts. She has kids in the house, young kids at that—she needs to be careful!!! This is so reckless…" agreed another.
"I can’t imagine moving someone into a home with 4 kids in under months. Like how f***ing dangerous and stupid," a third fan echoed.
"Why the heck did he feel the need to move in when he literally lived right next door! Dumb dumb dumb" chimed in a fourth.
"She leaves the kids home alone with him too. It makes me so effing angry. She’s a terrible mom and has never not once put her kids first," said another.
"She’s stupid, dumb, and reckless. And, clearly she doesn’t gaf about the well-being of her kids," one more added.
BLOSSOMING ROMANCE
After keeping him a secret for months, Kailyn has been sharing more insights into her and Elijah's relationship.
In May, she did a "soft launch" of her new man by posting a snap of them laughing in the kitchen together.
"All good over here," she wrote, adding an emoji surrounded by hearts.
Kailyn also commented: "What do y'all think he said to me to make me laugh?"
It came after she raved about Elijah on an episode of her Coffee Convos podcast, calling him the "love of her life."
She doesn't appear to be holding back anymore about revealing details of their romance, as she's even discussed her desire to have children with Elijah in the future.
On a recent appearance on the podcast , Kailyn addressed how quickly her romance with her neighbor has progressed.
"We've only been together like three months. It happened pretty quickly; I will admit that," the reality star said.
Her ex claimed the pair had already moved in together in April after a short time together.
BABY NUMBER 5?
And Kailyn admitted on the podcast she might have a fifth child down the road.
The book author also recently talked about the possibility of having twins as multiples run in her and Elijah's family.
Fans think another baby could arrive sooner rather than later as they're convinced Kailyn's already expecting.
Speculation heightened after her followers noticed her face looked "puffy" during an Instagram video she shared.
One fan said: "She looks so puffy."
Another fan added: "She never looks this bloated unless she’s pregnant."
A third fan mentioned: "I honestly think it's the weight gain from the pregnancy. Maybe she does get fillers but a lot of it is down to weight."
