Teen Mom fans think Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra’s newborn daughter Rya looks ‘just like her dad’
LIKE father, like daughter, it seems, as fans of Teen Mom think Catelynn Lowell’s newborn daughter looks just like dad Tyler Baltierra.
Rya Rose was born in August, and proud mom Catelynn, 29, has not been shy about showing off her daughter.
In the most recent pics, little Rya is propped up on a couch, staring into the camera.
She is wearing a striped pink onesie that says “Princess” across the front.
Catelynn captioned the photo: “Oh Rya I love you soooo much.”
Fans say she definitely has a family resemblance, with one Reddit follower noting: “She is absolutely adorable!! (She) looks like daddy.”
Another added: “You and Caitlyn are the most beautiful people, who make the most beautiful babies.”
While one person did see a slight resemblance to mom: “Definitely Cates nose.”

Rya is the couple’s fourth child together, joining sisters Novalee, six, Vaeda, two, and Carly, 12 — whom they placed for adoption as a baby.
When Rya was born, there was speculation daddy Tyler, 29, was upset “she” wasn’t a “he.”
Tyler and Catelynn have both discussed their desire to have a son together, and were admittedly disappointed when they learned they were expecting another daughter, though fans noticed Tyler seemed especially hurt by the news.
While taking to Twitter, one Teen Mom OG fan wrote: “Tyler a** only make girls. He is hurt.”
Another added: “Tyler ur just meant to be a girl dad and that okay.”
A third chimed in: “Well, Tyler and Catelynn have to wait for a grandson.”
But Tyler seems to have gotten over any disappointment, gushing over the girl on Instagram.
In a recent photo, he captioned: “I can’t believe little Rya is 3 months old already! I honestly didn’t think it was possible but she just keeps getting cuter!”
CARLY’S CASE
Carly, who Tyler and Catelynn got pregnant with in high school, is being raised by adoptive parents Brandon and Teresa.
They have an open adoption, meaning Catelynn and Tyler are able to see her occasionally.
Although they have a strained relationship with their daughter’s parents, they were able to see her for the first time in two years during an episode of Teen Mom.
Cameras were not permitted to film the emotional get together, as Brandon and Teresa do not want Carly on camera.
Tyler broke down in tears during the show and gushed over Carly, calling her the “best babysitter” after watching her play with her younger siblings.
He and Catelynn both noted how big she had gotten over the years, saying she looked like a “little adult.”
REUNITED
During part one of the Teen Mom OG reunion the parents spoke to host Dr. Drew about their reunion with Carly.
Reflecting on the visit, Catelynn said: “I’m just blessed that she gets to have a relationship with her sisters. That’s super important to me.”
The couple also share daughters Nova, 6, Vaeda, 2 and newborn Rya.
Tyler said “all of” the visit stood out to him, adding: “The main thing for me was just seeing Carly take Vaeda and Nova and just really play with them at the park and helping Vaeda get up the ladder to get up to the slide that she wouldn’t be able to reach without Carly being there.
“Just little things like that.”
