That positive news was about one of the OG teen moms, Jenelle.

Jenelle posted a video of her signing custody papers for her son Jace.

Jenelle's mom Barbara was given custody of Jace 10 years ago, and Jace has remained in her custody until last week.

While I am very happy for Jenelle, I was very upset for myself when I found out that Jenelle's son is now 13.

Yep, the teen moms have teens of their own now.

Maci has three kids now.

And the family of five seems pretty happy!

Next up is Amber and her daughter Leah.

And here she is now with Gary:

Leah turned 14 last November.

Leah and Amber have had a rocky relationship over the years, and it looks like Leah spends most of her time with Gary.

Amber also has a 4-year-old son named James with a man named Andrew Glennon. In 2022, Amber lost custody of James.

Now we're up to Catelynn.

If you remember, Catelynn and Tyler placed their daughter Carly up for adoption.

They were the only couple on their season to do so.

And here they are now:

Tyler just turned 31, which is kind of blowing my mind.

They have THREE kids of their own.

And their adopted daughter Carly turned 13 in May 2022.

Judging from this text Tyler sent Catelynn on her 31st birthday, they are still very much *in lerve.*
