TEEN Mom star Kailyn Lowry has revealed how much it costs to feed her seven children at a fast food chain – and she calls the amount “absolutely insane.”
Kailyn, 32, is mom to Isaac, 14, who she shares with her ex Jo Rivera, Lincoln, 11, who she shares with her ex-husband, Javi Marroquin, and Lux, seven, and Creed, four, both who she shares with her ex Chris Lopez.
The former Teen Mom star is also mom to son Rio, two, and one-year-old fraternal twins, Verse and Valley, with her fiance, Elijah Scott.
On the Monday, January 27 episode of the Coffee Convos podcast with co-host Lindsie Chrisley, they discussed the high price of groceries.
Kailyn then revealed how much a recent trip to Chick-fil-A set her back.
“I went to Chick-fil-A for the first time in months yesterday. Seven kids, I’m including my toddlers because my one-year-olds eat real food now.
“Seven, eight-piece nugget Chic-fil-A meals for all seven kids. They all get their own eight-piece meals.”
Kailyn explained that while her one-year-old twins don’t finish their meal, they do eat it for lunch the next day.
She continued, “Me and Elijah, then I got my nanny and her husband meals as well. It came to $120.”
A shocked Lindsie replied, “$120 for fast food?”

Kailyn added that if they had went grocery shopping with that amount, it would’ve gotten them “several meals for the week.”
She continued, “Whether it be spaghetti and garlic bread or tacos… It gets us a week of dinners.”
Kailyn is no stranger to dropping cash on her family, as she previously revealed her Target receipt.
Kailyn showed off her purchases in a 2022 TikTok video claiming the shopping trip was initially to gather “essential items” for the family’s upcoming trip to Atlanta, Georgia.
The clip first began with Kailyn capturing her cart full of items while at the register, before zooming in on the total displayed on the screen.
She said in the video, “I really overextended myself.”
She then showed fans her final bill amounting to $766.31.
While holding up the receipt, she commented, “Just got back from Target and I never anticipated spending this much, but I spent almost $800 and this is what $800 gets you at Target.”
Kailyn laid out the items on the table to showcase her extensive shopping trip, before detailing what she bought, including a new coffee machine and clothes for her sons.
SUCCESS AFTER TEEN MOM
Kailyn has built a successful empire for herself after leaving the Teen Mom franchise in 2022.
She is owner of KILLR podcast network that runs successful shows Barely Famous, Vibin’ & Kinda Thrivin’ and Karma and Chaos.
She also co-hosts Coffee Convos with Lindsie.
Teen Mom: The Next Chapter Cast
In September 2022, MTV blended their long-running shows Teen Mom OG and Teen Mom 2 to one series following the young mothers’ experiences raising their kids and co-parenting with their baby dads. Here’s a list of the entire Teen Mom: The Next Chapter cast.
HOME SWEET HOME
The U.S. Sun previously reported Kailyn has plans to build a new home for her family.
According to Delaware real estate records, Kailyn dropped $475,000 on 19.40 acres of vacant farmland in Smyrna, Delaware on July 12.
Building permits reveal Kailyn has yet to break ground or file plans for the new construction.
The land is about 15 miles from her current residence.
Kailyn’s fiance, Elijah Scott, is not listed on the home.
“I am closing on 20 acres of land today,” Kailyn said in a TikTok video posted in July. “The plan right now is to build an eight-bedroom house somehow, someway.
“Last time that I bought land, we built in the same year,” Kailyn explained of the home she lives in now with her fiance and children. “This one I think is going to take a little longer.”
She continued, “I have big plans for this house. I’m understanding that I might not be in this house until 2026. Possibly even 2027.”
She then revealed her plans for a first-floor master, extra wide hallways, a large garage and laundry on both levels.
Kailyn also wants to build a barn to match the home.
In March, Kailyn revealed she wanted a new home just two years after building the one she lives in now.
She explained in the TikTok video how she wants all of her children to have their own rooms.
