Two of the stars of “16 and Pregnant” are currently knocked up again, probably for the second time although it’s possible either of them have been pregnant in the interim, or were pregnant at some before before the baby that earned them fame and cash. We heard last year that 19 year-old castmember Markai Durham got pregnant for the second time, allegedly after forgetting a birth control shot, and had an abortion. Now Life & Style is reporting that both Jordan Ward, 18, and Kianna Randall, 18, are pregnant with their second children. Jordan has confirmed her pregnancy while we have yet to hear from Kianna.
“One out of four teen moms will have a repeat birth within two years,” warned Teen Mom therapist Dr. Drew Pinsky. Now, Life & Style has learned that two 16 & Pregnant cast members, Jordan Ward, 18, and Kianna Randall, 18, are pregnant again.
“Jordan’s baby girl is due in November,” a friend tells Life & Style about the married mom of 18-month-old Noah.
Kianna, who already has an 11-month-old son, Kay’den, is expecting and facing felony charges for allegedly attempting to break in to a home in Tarrant County, Texas, on Aug. 28. “She’s charged with attempted burglary and two aggravated robberies,” a rep for the District Clerk’s office confirms to Life & Style.

Where to start with this? Yes statistics show that 25% of teen moms will get pregnant with a second child within two years, as the all-knowing Dr. Drew points out. The rates for non-celebrity teen moms getting boob jobs and staging bikini photo ops is nowhere near what we see from these MTV teen moms though. Getting pregnant is another way to get more headlines and to squeeze some additional press out of short-lived reality career. Sadly the plastic surgery route is probably more effective and easier on their poor kids. (And Kianna seems to have had a boob job at least.) I’m not saying they definitely got pregnant again to get more plotlines or press, but that’s going to be the result. These shows can’t even teach the participants how to practice safe sex, how are they going to have that effect on teen viewers?
