THE stars of Teen Mom are instantly recognizable to fans.
But many Teen Moms also have sisters and brothers in the background who sometimes shy away from the spotlight.

Earlier this week, Vee Rivera shared a rare photo of her sister Jessica, in honor of National Sister's Day.
In the snap, the duo posed for a close-up during a night out.
Vee, 31, donned the skintight pink dress she showed off last month in photos, with her dark locks in loose waves and pink-framed sunglasses.
The podcast host smiled while Jessica pouted her lips at the camera.

Jessica - who originally shared the pic - added a sticker that read, "Sisters," and wrote in her caption: "Happy National Sister's Day! I love you to infinity and beyond!"

It showed the two with the same wide grin and toned physique.
Even their facial features looked almost identical. But there was one noticeable difference between them.
Brock showed off his mane of long hair - a very different style to Teen Mom star Cole’s short back and sides.
The uncanny resemblance didn’t go unnoticed by the home builder’s followers, who rushed to the comments section to share their thoughts.
“Now I know what you’d look like with long hair. Twins!” one wrote.
Another agreed: “Same guy, but with long hair.”
A third asked: “Are you guys twins? I have an identical twin and it’s so fun. If you’re not twins, you certainly look like twins.”
Brock is not Cole’s twin but is in fact two years older.
SEAN AUSTIN

Jade Cline's fiancé Sean Austin surprised fans after posting a photo with his actual twin brother, Brendon, in honor of their birthday.
In the pic, initially posted by their sister, Jen, the pair stood side-by-side, showing their uncanny resemblance.
They each sported similar styles of shorts, a T-shirt, and sneakers, exposing their collections of tattoos.
Sean and his brother also have a full beard, and ear piercings, although the Teen Mom 2 star appears to be a few inches taller.
Fans went wild over the twins after the photo of them circulated on a popular online forum.
"Why does his brother look more [like] Sean than Sean does? I'm so confused!" one person wrote in the thread.
"It is so unnerving when you find out someone you know has an identical twin you never knew about," another commented.
"This is actually tripping me out," said a third.
LEAH MESSER

Earlier this year, the younger sister of Teen Mom Leah Messer teased their upcoming new project together.
In a March Instagram Story, Victoria, 28, revealed she could not wait for Leah, 31, to team up.
The Teen Mom 2 alum said: "We can fully share our story, and others can as well."
Leah's sister added: "Until Then," before criticizing "all the negative Nancy's and Karen's comments in regards to my husband having two kids before meeting me."
She confirmed that he did and that they live in Costa Rica while saying that the couple's "hope is that this step in his life and our life together provides even more opportunities for his sons and family."
In February, Leah uploaded a video tour of what appeared to be a newly-renovated studio on TikTok.
The MTV star panned the camera towards a plush couch and a neon sign that spelled out: VIP Lounge.
While backing away from the sofa, Leah pointed the camera at the desk and laptop in the room and the camera on a tripod.
Leah captioned the post: "Progress. With the odds stacked against me, I could crack Da Vinci .. #4R4L."
JAVI MARROQUIN

Not every family connection is a positive one.
In 2021, Kailyn Lowry slammed ex Javi Marroquin’s sister for completely disappearing from her life after the divorce.
The 31-year-old, who was married to Javi from 2012 to 2017 and shares son Lincoln with him, said his sister Lidia was one of her “best friends” before she stopped talking to her and any of her other kids.
On an episode of Kailyn’s Baby Mamas No Drama podcast, the mom-of-four opened up about how difficult it was to lose relationships with family members after a divorce.
“One of the hardest things for me for all of my relationships was breaking up with the other people in the family,” Kailyn admitted.
She specifically called out Javi’s sister, who she at first named as one of her “really good friends,” before changing her mind and “going out on a limb” to say she was one of her “best friends,” along with one of Javi’s cousins.
They became so close during Kailyn’s relationship with Javi that they were even in the couple’s 2012 wedding.

Cheyenne Floyd shared some sisterly love, after her sibling, R KyleLynn Floyd, welcomed a son named Zaire in 2021.
She posted a photo of her newborn son staring directly into the camera, captioning the post: "I am so in love!"
The sentiment seems shared by all who commented.
Cheyenne, 30, and her ex Cory Wharton both shared kind messages on the Instagram unveiling of Kyle's second child.
"Hi cute boy!" Cheyenne wrote, while Cory, commented the raised hands emoji and several yellow hearts.
Fans also gushed over the baby in the comments section, as one wrote, "So handsome!"
Another wrote: "Congratulations, he is everything!!!" while one chimed in: "Oh my goodness, he is so cute and sweet!"
