Teen Mom 2 star Kailyn Lowry and husband Javi Marroquin have decided to call it quits and divorce after nearly three years of marriage.

"We're trying to do the best we can for our kids because they are what really matters," Lowry told the Daily Mail.
Lowry and Marroquin have a two-year-old son Lincoln together. The reality TV star is also a mom to a six-year-old son Isaac whom she had with ex-boyfriend Jo Rivera.
Monday night's episode of Teen Mom 2 alluded to a potential split when Lowry hung up on her husband -- who works for the Air Force and is often deployed overseas, which is difficult for the family -- during a FaceTime call because he accused her of lacking emotion and not caring.
"We run out of things to talk about -- I can't relate to what he says," Lowry told Vee Torres, the fiancee of Rivera, during the episode.

"He gets upset with me because I don't show emotions."
Earlier in the season, the couple struggled with a miscarriage, and Marroquin admitted he had treated Lowry poorly and failed to support her after her brief hospitalization because he "needed someone to blame" and was therefore "taking it out" on her.
Lowry and Marroquin also fought over Rivera's child-support payments for Isaac, who calls Marroquin "daddy."
Lowry and Marroquin wed in September 2013 after announcing their engagement in September 2012.
The pair might have ended their relationship sooner than fans think, as Lowry attended the MTV Movie Awards with Rivera in April and was noticeably not wearing her wedding ring.

"We're maintaining a good friendship," Marroquin told Us Weekly of the split.
Lowry first starred on MTV's 16 & Pregnant in 2010. She has since been featured on Teen Mom 2, which debuted in 2011 and is currently airing its seventh season.
