With Tiffany embarking on a global whirlwind romance, many fans questioned if Tiffany would uproot her life, as well as that of her 8-year-old son Daniel, to go live in another country.

During the season premiere of the hit TLC show, Tiffany shared the shocking story behind her pregnancy. The teen mom revealed that she had Daniel just a few weeks shy of her 18th birthday and did not plan to have a baby.  

“I found out 15 minutes before he was born that he was going to be born,” she confessed. While many may be confused as to how she did not know she was carrying a baby, she explained, “I went through my pregnancy with no signs of pregnancy. I got my period every month, I had no belly, no kicking, no cravings, no morning sickness. So one would not assume that they’re pregnant.” 

After experiencing severe cramps, she went to the hospital only to find out that she was 10 centimeters dilated and told she was in labor. Wow. Though she wasn’t planning for a baby, Tiffany decided to keep her son, telling viewers, “He is the number one love of my life.” 

As for Daniel’s father, Tiffany revealed that while she was in a serious relationship with him at the time, they were no longer together. When she told her ex about the baby, she explained, “It was a big, huge surprise to him. I told him he either needed to be all in or all out, and he chose to be all out.” Adding, “I absolutely cannot be with someone who doesn’t 1,000 percent embrace and absolutely love my son.” 

Aside from planning a wedding, Tiffany and Ronald are reportedly having a baby. According to In Touch, Tiffany is “definitely pregnant.” A source revealed to the outlet, “I saw her and she was showing off her [baby] bump. She seemed really happy and obviously didn’t touch any alcohol."
