TEEN Mom star Kayla Jones has revealed she's pregnant with her second child.
The 22-year-old – who appeared on Young & Pregnant last year – shared the exciting news during an Instagram Live on Monday evening.
Kayla told fans: "Did I do anything for Valentine's Day? Yes, I found out the gender of my baby!"
She then took a bite out of a blue popsicle, hinting that she could be having a boy.
The MTV star is already mom to two-year-old daughter Mecca with Makel Kennedy.
It is not known if Makel is the father of her second child.
Kayla and Makel met in high school and dated for five years, during which time Makel came out as transgender and transitioned from female to male.
They got engaged when they both turned 18 and decided to start a family.

They lived together on and off for almost two years before Makel moved back to Philadelphia.
Discussing their relationship last year on Teen Mom, Kayla said: "I do love Makel very strongly – very, very strongly.
Earlier this month, it was revealed that Kayla was axed from the next season of Teen Mom: Young & Pregnant.
BYE MTV
A source told The Ashley's Reality Roundup: “Kayla [Jones] got dropped.
"They did not renew her contract so she won’t be in the new 12 episodes.
“She was disappointed, especially since she has so much happening in her life right now that would be good to film.
“But MTV made their choice so there’s really nothing she can do.”
Sources claimed to the outlet that Teen Mom producers planned to keep Kayla on the show and fire Madisen Beith, though viewers seem to identify with Madisen’s storyline more.
The insider explained: “[The producers] feel like, because Kayla is older than Madisen, and because Kayla’s pregnancy was intentional, her story didn’t really catch on the way [the producers] had hoped.
"The network thought that, because Kayla’s story included a transgender partner, it was timely and topical, but it just didn’t catch on."
LOW RATINGS
Kayla has been dropped from the cast after it was surprisingly renewed for another season following low ratings.
After debuting on March 12, 2018 with 660,000 viewers, Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant climbed into the high-800,000s in the first season.
Many viewers stopped tuning in during the second season, with the finale only bringing in 470,000 viewers.
The viewership for the show has continued to go downhill and the most recent season’s premiere in September 2021 only had 260,000 viewers.
In addition to Kayla, Madisen, and Kaiya, Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant also stars Brianna Jaramillo, Kayla Sessler and Rachel Beaver.
