16 And Pregnant: What Izabella And Jairo's Relationship Is Like Today
Izabella Tovar and Jairo Rodriguez shot to popularity after appearing on the MTV show "16 and Pregnant" in 2010. Izabella was just 14 when she starred on the reality television show known for documenting the pregnancies, births, and parenthood experiences of teenage couples (via InTouch Weekly). At the time, she was pregnant with her first child, Enrique "Henry," who is now 10 years old. The two young love birds ended up getting engaged and welcoming a daughter, Anastazia "Stazia," in 2014. They married in 2016.
Since most couples on "16 and Pregnant" don't make it long-term, whether that be because of their immaturity, financial struggles, or the pressures of having a baby while in their teens, among many other reasons, Izabella and Jairo's fans were inspired by their love and commitment. Understandably, when the couple split in 2018, fans were devastated.
Izabella revealed the sad news on social media. "Jairo and I are separated and have been for a few months now. Unfortunately, our marriage didn't work out and we are getting divorced," she wrote. "There are many factors that went into this decision but none that need to be shared publicly at this time." She must have anticipated public backlash because she added, "Even though I am sharing this publicly it is still a very personal decision. I would appreciate if negative opinions and comments not be posted here...Thank you in advance for understanding."
