Catelynn Lowell (Baltierra) has lived out her adult life in front of millions of MTV fans. She rose to fame by doing something quite un-remarkable. The Michigan native and her then-boyfriend Tyler Baltierra discovered they were pregnant before they could legally vote. Because of this, MTV invited them to appear on their controversial reality show 16 and Pregnant. Neither Tyler, Cate, nor anyone at MTV could have predicted the show and its cast members would enjoy over a decade of fame and success first with 16 and Pregnant and then with Teen Mom.

But here Cate and her co-stars are, ten years later, still opening their lives up to viewers everywhere. By now, we should pretty much know everything there is to know about this lady, as she lives her life like an open book.

Here are twenty facts that we are only now learning about Teen Mom's Catelynn Lowell.

20 Her Husband Is Her Former Step-Brother

Cate and her now hubby Tyler met when they were children. Little did they know that their middle school crushes would last a lifetime. They weren't the only ones to fall fast in love, though. Taking the lead from their kids, Tyler's dad and Cate's mom developed feeling for each other and were even married for a spell.

19 She Knew Tyler Was The One When She First Met Him

Wow. Most middle schoolers don't even know what they want for dinner on any given evening, but Catelynn knew that Tyler Baltierra was her one and only from the very first time she laid eyes on him. Per wetpaint.com, the couple met in 8th-grade music class after Tyler transferred to his future wife's school.

18 She Briefly Lived In Florida With Her Father

Cate's biological parents parted ways when Catelynn was only nine months old, mostly because of her mother's reckless ways. Cate then split her time between the two households until her father moved to Florida when Cate was twelve. She even lived down south for a short period fo time.

17 She Also Lived With Tyler

It's safe to say that during her childhood, Catelynn bounced around a lot. She lived with her dad in Florida but also tried living with Tyler's family as well as her grandma. While her mother was fighting her battles, Catelynn moved from home to home. She returned to her mom's house only when her mother April was healthy.

16 Growing Up, Her Family Struggled Financially

Before Teen Mom aired, Cate's mom had about thirty dollars to her name. Besides lacking enough money to support herself and her children, she also found herself tens of thousands of dollars in the hole. Catelynn could have never guessed that someday she would be raking in the dough courtesy of MTV.

15 She Had A Hand In Raising Her Younger Siblings

Cate has been a bit of a mother figure for nearly her entire life. When she was growing up, she helped raise her younger siblings. The little ones were in desperate need of love and guidance during spells when April, Cate's mom, wasn't doing so well. Cate was always there to fill that void.

13 Squabbles With The Boys In Blue

Cate had her fair share of run-ins with the law before appearing on her MTV realities television shows. She once roughed a girl up in the trailer park over a boy, pre-Tyler, of course. Both she and Tyler have also gotten mixed up in some unhealthy habits over the years. Thankfully they are now on the straight and narrow.

12 Struggling Student

Cate was never a strong student, probably due to her chaotic home life. It's pretty hard to study when your mom is throwing huge parties at all hours of the night. Per fame10, Cate had some difficulties in middle school. Things improved slightly once high school hit, and she did manage to graduate high school, which was a vast improvement.
