MTV has revealed the identities of the four former 16 & Pregnant cast members who will star on Teen Mom 3, the network's upcoming third edition of its Teen Mom reality franchise.
The teen mothers who will appear on Teen Mom 3 are Mackenzie Douthit, Katie Yeager, Briana DeJesus, and Alex Sekella.
Douthit, an 18-year-old from Miami, OK, is mom to 14-month-old Gannon and is raising her baby with a fiance named Josh.
"You'll see our good and bad times," Douthit told In Touch Weekly in its latest issue. "I was scared to do the show [initially], but I can't look back and change the fact that I got pregnant so all I can do is look towards the future."

Yeager -- a 19-year-old from Rock Springs, WY who reportedly said she is "the exception to the teen dad issue" -- has a 14-month-old daughter named Molli, whom she raises with fiance Joey. The teen mom is studying to be a social worker because she wants to help people.
DeJesus, a 17-year-old from Orlando, FL, decided to keep her daughter Nova when she got pregnant a week apart from her sister, who chose to have an abortion. Nova is now 13-months-old, and DeJesus has been getting help from her sister and mother.
"My story lets you see, there are different choices," DeJesus told In Touch. "With every choice you make, there's hardships. No matter what, it's still going to be difficult, but you still have a choice."
Sekella, an 18-year-old from Allentown, PA, reportedly has a 15-month-old daughter named Arabella, whom she raises without a father in the picture while juggling two jobs.
"I refuse to let him see her. He abuses drugs," Sekella explained, adding she hopes her Teen Mom 3 appearance will send women a positive message. "I see too many young girls making the same mistake I did; being sexually active at too young an age."
While an official premiere date for Teen Mom 3 has yet to be announced, Teen Mom 2's third season is scheduled to premiere Monday, November 12 at 10PM ET/PT on MTV.
