Devoin forgot Nova at gymnastics.

I feel like [bleep], like, damn.

He is asking for more responsibility,

I need credit for something.
- So Jeremy tested positive for COVID.
There are a lot of precautions that we need to take.
I feel like [bleep].

However, considering Jeremy just tested positive
and we were around him,
I won't be shocked if I test positive.
- How have you been feeling in general
because of the pandemic?
- A lot has changed.
- I want to help him find something that he likes to do
but he's also good at so that he builds that self-confidence.
- Right.
- We're gonna go over a couple tile selections
for your bathroom.
- I want this blue. - You want blue?
- Yeah.
- Bar finally got his GED,
so to celebrate, I am throwing him a surprise party.
Bar got a phone call, and his mom ruined the whole thing.
- And you told them it was a surprise.
- I did. I think it's unfortunate
that this is the situation that our families are in.
His mama, my mama, we don't need a setback.
We need to just move on.
- He's like, "I have a gift for you,"
and then he just opens, like, a ring box and was like,
"I really love you and I want you to be my wife,
and I want to be with you."
- I gave it to her, and I just said,
I don't want you to feel like you need to give me one."

[as troll] Hi, Kloie.
Sean's watching Kloie while I go back to work,
and tomorrow I'm flying to Miami
for my surgery later this week.
I think that I'm a confident person,
but I also think everyone has their own insecurities,
and I feel like I'm not totally satisfied
with how I look,
so I'm getting a Brazilian butt lift
where they do 360 lipo.
I had a different mindset or, like, an image
of what I thought I was going to eventually look like.
I thought I would, like, have bigger boobs
or I would at least be a little more curvy.
I just kind of thought I would grow into it as I got older,
so, like, I definitely wanted to move some fat
from, like, my midsection area
and then just kind of distribute it differently.
I talked to Briana about wanting it
because she had one too.
She was the one, like,
"Yeah, you should definitely go for it."
But I think having this surgery will just make me
a lot more happy in my own skin
and just feeling more confident about who I am.

Well, then, that's good 'cause some doctors
don't put people to sleep.
- Do I need to call him? - No--

- No, 'cause I be in there like, uh-uh, and he know--
he's seen my chart, so he knows I got a anxiety

"No, this bitch got to go to sleep."
- I will say, not to scare you, it's gonna hurt.
You're gonna wake up-- - I mean, yeah.
- And it's gonna hurt as-- you're not gonna feel great.
Like, after the third day,
you'll be able to do things on your own,
but make sure somebody is there with you
because you won't be able to get up by yourself.
You won't be able to use the bathroom by yourself.
You won't be able to wipe yourself.

like, all my, like, healing.
You used to be a surgical nurse.
She's gonna stay in the other--in my--
the house with me, like, right after my surgery,
obviously, to be checking in on me,
but we can't be around each other too long.
- How is Sean feeling about this?
- I mean, at first, he was, like,
super weird about it, like, confused.
He was like, "Why do you-- why are you doing this?"
And I'm like, "I'm just doing it for me."
And he was like, "Well, are you doing this
"because, like, you--
like, because of other-- like, other guys?"

I think you're gonna love it.
And I'm so happy forou because I feel like I was
so insecure about my body, and I got my body done,
and it made me feel 20 times more better about myself.

- Jade, no. - Put it on a different finger.
- If your mindset is, like,
"I don't know what I'm doing right now with you"--
- I don't know where I'm at with you, like, yeah.
- But you're still leading him on, right, in a sense of,
"Can we get the ring sized? Can we"--
- Well, I've never been able to put it on, though.
- But that's, like, in-- - So I'm like--
- In his eyes, that's like, "Oh, I got this."
- It's, "I'm getting there," kind of thing.
- "This is gonna be my wife."
- So many people I know have been married and divorced,
and I'm like, "Look, if I'm not 100% infatuated,
"wrapped up in you and want to build with you,
I don't want to get married."
If I'm second guessing anything or have to think about it, no.
- We're not gonna get married. - Okay.
When is your surgery?
- Tomorrow. - What time?
- 7:00 in the morning. - Oh, [bleep].
- Have you seen your doctor? - No, I haven't met him.
- No? - I met his nurse.
- Okay. - So they said that I meet him
the day of my surgery,
like, an hour before, and I get to, like,
basically sit down with him and talk with him.
- Go over everything. - Yeah, they did my whole chart
and did all, like, the photos and all the stuff.
- Make sure you have somebody there
that will never leave your side.
Is Sean gonna be there? Is he prepared?
- Yeah. - Mentally, physically?
- Yes. - Okay.
So then you guys are gonna be fine.
- I'm already a lot to handle as it is, so I'm like,
he already knows what it's about to be.
What are you guys doing while you're out here?
I know I want to check on you tomorrow.
I just don't know when the perfect timing is to do that.
I want you to give me Sean's number
'cause I know you won't be-- you'll be out of commission.
- I'm so nervous.
I just want to walk in and somebody be behind a door,
like, "Pfft,"
and shoot me with a dart and just, like--
and just knock me out and drag my ass
into the surgery room 'cause--
- You would. - I'm so scared
- I think, like, with my experience,
they may give you, like, something
when you get in just to relax your nerves.
- Yes. He knows I'm crazy. He's seen my doctor chart.
My doctor was like, "Panic disorder, PTSD."
So I'm not--
- What are you most nervous about?
- Waking up. - Waking up?
- And, like, getting back-- like, the first day after
'cause, I mean, that's the worst day.
- I was almost on my deathbed for, like, three days.
You think you can do all these things
until you can't do it anymore, and you're like,
"[bleep]."
- I'm trying not to think about it too much.

- Hi, I'm Lindsie. - Nice to meet you. Devoin.
- Nice to meet you. - Devoin. Hey.
- Devoin. Correct. There you go.
- Okay, awesome 'cause that was one of the things
that I wanted to clarify on the podcast.
- What's going on though? How y'all doing?
- We're good. Hold on.
Will you put on a "Coffee Convos" hoodie
and take a picture with us?
- How do you think this is gonna play out, like,
when this all comes out that you're here?
Is this gonna be bad? - Not for me. Hell no.
- No, we're just talking about us.
- Let's have you stand looking this way.
- I'm gonna go on the left.
- Great. - It's not--
I didn't ever want this to be a bashing-fest.
It was more, like, to clear the air kind of thing.
- Nah, you're not out of pocket at all.
You didn't do nothing. - We good?
- Move a little bit forward for me.
Perfect. There we go.
Yes. Cute.
- You think we got it? - I hope.
- I was a little nervous for this one.
All right, you guys. We're recording.
And welcome to another episode of "Coffee Convos" podcast,
and we have a guest today.
We're gonna get right into it,
and it's Devoin, not Devon.
- Devoin. Correct. - Okay. All right.
So before we get started,
why do people think that your name is Devon?
- Well, I kind of take blame for that personally.
I just really don't--
I never really corrected people for that, but I don't know.
Growing up, like, even after correcting all the teachers
that taught me, like, they never got it right.
- Okay. So it wasn't a Briana thing.
- It wasn't a Briana thing. - Got it. Okay.
- Definitely not her. It's not her fault.
- Okay. Cool.
I feel like a lot of our listeners and our viewers
of "Teen Mom 2" don't know who you are.
- That's a fact. They don't. - Who is Devoin?
You grew up where, in Florida?
Or where did you grow up? - No. I'm from Michigan.
Lansing, Michigan, the capital of Michigan.
- Okay, so how did you end up meeting Briana,
and what is the whole story behind that?
- I met her on social media. We were in high school.
I was maybe a grade, two grades above her,
and, you know, we ended up meeting each other,
and the next school year, we started dating.
- Okay. - And then boom,
I'm gonna say maybe four months into dating, she's pregnant.
- So you were on board with, you know,
helping raise the baby and all of that.
- Yeah. Absolutely, absolutely. Now, don't get me wrong,
when she was pregnant, we were definitely--you know,
I definitely didn't grasp the fact that,
yeah, we're not together,
but it's still your kid.
You have to do your [bleep] at the end of the day.
- Right. So what do you like to do?
Outside of baby mama drama and parenting--
- And parenting and TV.
- What does Devoin like to do? - I like to cook.
That's one thing I can say. - Okay.
- Like, you know, I like to cook.
- So does Nova help you cook ever?
- Nova, she got the attention span of a peanut.
Nova ain't finessing no kitchen.
She might say, "Yeah, let's do it.
Let's do it. Let's do it." - Right, right, right.
That's all kids I feel like, though.
- We got the chicken wings clean?
Okay, let's go do this now. - Right, right.
- So what's y'all's dynamic with each other?
Is it, like--
- For me, it's just "The Nova Show."
Whatever she want to do, we can do.
- Yeah. - But yeah.
We have a pretty good relationship, though.
I like my relationship with her.
- I guess Briana was upset
about you not showing up for Nova.
What is your side of that?
- I definitely forgot that I was supposed to pick her up.
Yes, I did, and, I mean, I forgot.
- I mean, we're both mothers, so I think that, you know,
certain things we understand from a perspective of a mom,
and it's nice
to hear a dad's perspective that's in this situation.
- Most of my friends are fathers, too.
We're all damn near the same age, all got kids.
So it's like, some of them are worse than me.
Like, they're worse people than me.
I'm not the most perfect person,
no, but just seeing how freely their baby mothers
give them their kids, it's like,
"What the [bleep] is wrong with me?"
Like, am I--I'm not a felon.
I ain't got nothing in my record.
Like, what?
Why won't you just throw her at me, like--
- We've said before that
you like having everything in writing because--
- Yes, because that's what the fallback is, like--
- Yeah, that's a fallback,
and if you can't agree and be normal humans with each other,
then you have to fall back on the custody arrangement.
- Right.
What do you want to see moving forward
with, like, your-- with everything, with Nova,
with Briana, with the show, like, what's next?
- Like, what's your ideal scenario?
- Ideal scenario, I'm trying to lock in
on a house real soon, you know?
From that, you know, I mean, me and Nova can do whatever--
you know, like, the sky is the limit.
- Well, thank you so much for coming on.
- Appreciate it. - I appreciate it so much.
- It was definitely nice getting to know Devoin
and the backstory and who Devoin is.
- Yes, I agree. - Absolutely. No problem.
I appreciate it. Thank you for the opportunity.
- All right, guys. That is all we have for today.
- See you.
I think it was cool to kind of give him a platform
to talk about more than just the show.
I don't feel like it turned into a bash-fest at all.
I do think that some of the situations that Devoin
talked about with us are similar to my story.
If he ever was feeling like he wanted to post things online
or stir the pot a little bit,
speaking from experience, it's never worth it
because it never got me anywhere,
and so it's never
gonna benefit his coparenting relationship.
- Addie's with Jeremy's parents today,
and I have the twins,
so I thought it might be a good time
to talk about the changes they'll be going through
and let them know I'm here to support them.
- So my nails need done. See?
- Come here, kitty.
- Hey, don't pick him up.
- He'll spill. - Yeah?
- So how was your school work today?
- Good.
- Next year you're going to middle school.
- Yeah.
- So since Addie is at her dad's,
I thought it would be a great idea for us
to be able to talk, just the three of us.
Can I tell you the story
about the first time I started my period?
- Yeah. - I know. It's weird.
Are you gonna laugh at me? Yeah?
- Yeah. - You can laugh at me.
So it was my fifth grade year.
You guys are in fifth grade right now.
- Mm-hmm.
- And I was on the bleachers in the gym,
and I felt like-- you know, I felt something.
So I went to the bathroom, and I was bleeding.
Freaked out.
I started crying.
I thought I was bleeding to death,
thought I was bleeding out.
Went to the guidance counselor
and was like, "Ah, something's wrong with me."
And she had to explain to me because Grandma Dawn, my mom,
did not prepare me for the day that I would start my period.
I really want for you guys to be prepared.
It's nothing to be ashamed of.
It's nothing to think as weird because believe me,
you're gonna go through a lot of changes
the next few years.
So many different emotions are gonna come up.
You're gonna have mood swings.
- What in the world is a mood swing?
- Mood swing is, like, one second you're happy,
one second you're sad, one second you're, like, angry.
- Will we go through the same thing at the same time?
- Probably not.
I think that you guys, even though you are twins,
you're two completely different people,
and I want you guys to always feel comfortable
coming to Mommy.
I definitely didn't feel comfortable going to my mom
and talking to her about anything like that.
Does it make you feel better having these conversations--
- Yeah.
- And prepare you? - Yeah.
- Mm-hmm. - It does?
- Mm-hmm.
- Are they a little uncomfortable or awkward?
- No. - No?
- No. - Good. I like it.
- Now it is awkward. - Give me a hug. I love you.
- Love you too. - Love you.

Yeah, but I'm so nervous
