Teen Mom star Tyler Baltierra took to his Instagram this past Sunday to honor his mother, not his father, on Father's Day.
The 24 year old's strained relationship with father, Butch, has been documented on both MTV's Teen Mom and Sixteen and Pregnant. Butch is currently incarcerated for both drug-related crimes and domestic abuse.
Because of this, the star celebrated his mother, Kim Forbes, on June 21.
In the text based post on his Instagram, Baltierra said, "I just want to say Happy Fathers Day to one of the strongest, most influential people in my life…my mom. I did not have the luxury of having my dad around since he decided to choose drugs over his children, but my mom NEVER gave up on us kids."
The image continued on with Catelynn Lowell's fiance reflecting on his mother raising him, including childhood memories and some of her teachings.
In the image's caption, Baltierra used the hashtag "#HappyFathersDayMom" and claimed he was "beyond blessed."
Baltierra also spent this as his first Father's Day with six-month-old Novalee. His first child with Lowell, Carly, was given up for adoption in 2009.
Lowell posted on her Instagram account an image of Baltierra holding Novalee. "Happy Father's day to one of the best daddy's I know!" she said in the post.
The reality show couple, who recently shared their wedding invitation on Instagram is getting married in Michigan in August.
