🌈 “I’m Proud of My Gay Son” — Kailyn Lowry Shares Tearful Podcast as Elliott Comes Out During Pride Month… His Lover Is…
In a deeply emotional and powerful episode of her podcast Barely Famous, Teen Mom 2 alum Kailyn Lowry opened up about one of the most intimate moments of her life: her son Elliott coming out as gay. The episode, released during Pride Month, is already making waves across Teen Mom fandom for its raw honesty and heartfelt support.
Kailyn, who is known for her unfiltered storytelling and open-book personality, couldn’t hold back tears as she described the moment Elliott told her the news. “He came into my room, closed the door, and just said it,” she shared. “I felt this wave of love and pride wash over me. I’ve always known Elliott was special, but that moment confirmed how brave and true to himself he really is.”
The news was met with an outpouring of support from Kailyn’s fans, fellow Teen Mom castmates, and LGBTQ+ advocates alike. Many praised her vulnerability and her ability to turn a personal moment into a message of acceptance for others. “It’s not about me,” Kailyn insisted. “It’s about Elliott. This is his story. I’m just here to love him, support him, and remind every parent out there that your child’s identity is not something to ‘tolerate’ — it’s something to celebrate.”
Kailyn didn’t shy away from addressing her own learning journey, admitting that she still has a lot to understand when it comes to LGBTQ+ experiences. “I’m asking questions, I’m reading, I’m listening. I’m not perfect, but I’m committed to growing alongside my son.”
Perhaps the most surprising and buzzed-about moment in the episode came when Kailyn briefly mentioned Elliott’s boyfriend — a classmate named Jacob, whom she described as “kind, respectful, and absolutely smitten with Elliott.” While Kailyn kept most of the details private to protect their privacy, she did say that seeing Elliott in a happy, healthy relationship “melts my heart.”
Teen Mom fans have watched Kailyn grow from a teenage mother navigating chaos to a mature woman fiercely defending her children’s happiness. This moment adds a new layer to her public journey — one filled with unconditional love, motherly strength, and powerful representation for LGBTQ+ youth.
As Pride Month continues, Kailyn’s message rings loud and clear: “My son is gay. And I’ve never been prouder.”
