Despite her difficulties, Catelynn is maintaining a positive attitude. “I’m seeking treatment and I WILL get better,” she said. “This won’t last forever.”
Tyler added on Twitter, “Incredibly proud of my wife…when she thought she had no choices left, she reached out & decided to LIVE today! My life would be desolate without her in it. You are beautiful, strong, worthy, & loved.”
As the most recent season of Teen Mom OG aired, it revealed the reason for her visit to rehab. Catelynn suffered a miscarriage after she got pregnant with Tyler’s third child.
A source told The Ashley’s Reality Roundup, “The crew and production staff heard she was about six weeks pregnant when it happened, but no one is 100% sure.”
Even more traumatizing, they shared, “Catelynn had to talk about trying to get pregnant and then getting pregnant even after she had the miscarriage” to record the voiceovers for the show.

“It was very traumatic,” Tyler recalled on Teen Mom OG. It was clear that he was extremely shaken by this update as well. “You see her shaking and she got blood everywhere, you don’t know what to do.”
After Catelynn stopped losing blood, it became clear what had happened. “She kind of cleaned herself up and we figured what was going on.” Then, the couple shut down. “We sat in the bed and cried. Just held each other. There’s nothing you can really do.”
Catelynn got medical attention to confirm that she had indeed miscarried. It wasn’t much longer after that that Catelynn checked into a treatment center for having suicidal thoughts.
Tyler said the process “felt very similar” to the trauma of Carly’s adoption. “Carly’s a little different because we get to see her every year, but it’s a loss. I feel like you process it as a loss,” he explained.
