Teen Mom alum Kailyn Lowry talks candidly about life, work, and “fatherless behavior”

It stands to reason that Teen Mom fans would make up the bulk of the audience for Kailyn Lowry’s live podcast tour . In one city, however, the title of her show, Fatherless Behavior, was the main draw for one ticket holder. “It was so funny because, [at our London tour stop], a woman who is a licensed psychologist said she saw the name of the tour and bought tickets specifically because of that,” Lowry, who goes by her less formal first name, Kail, tells Pittsburgh City Paper . “We were like, ‘Okay, are you sure this is what you want to do?’ It’s supposed to be fun and just unhinged; it truly is the definition of fatherless behavior.” Lowry, who appeared on the second season of the hit MTV reality series, will play some unhinged games and talk about “wild stuff” with Pittsburghers on Fri., Aug. 28, during a stop at the Roxian Theatre . Lowry visited the Burgh before in 2014 for her Pride Over Pity book tour. Lowry has become known for blending her signature, brutally honest stories with dark humor. The now 34-year-old, who was raised by a single mom in Nazareth, Pa., has built an empire of sorts while raising her seven children, who range in age from 2 to 16. Lowry, now an influencer, podcast host, and New York Times bestselling author, founded the KILLR Podcast Network and currently has almost four million TikTok followers. She was already pregnant with her first child when she saw a casting call for 16 and Pregnant , an MTV documentary series from 2010 that chronicled the issues of teen pregnancy, including adoption, marriage, finances, and finishing high school. Lowry made it on the second season, but her episode barely skimmed the surface of her story, which continued on the spin-off Teen Mom 2 . Lowry wants people to know that she actively avoids discussing her children’s four fathers. “When I’m asked about them or something during an interview, I’ll talk about them, but my world doesn’t revolve around my kids
