Teen Mom Briana DeJesus reveals REAL reason why she split from fiance Javi & insists breakup was NOT over podcast drama
BRIANA DeJesus has revealed she split from fiance Javi Gonzalez because he viewed her as "property" and they argued all the time.
The Teen Mom 2 star exclusively told The Sun that their shocking breakup was not because she did a podcast with Kailyn Lowry's ex Chris Lopez.
Briana said: "I loved Javi. He has amazing qualities. Such a great man, great dad and overall just a great person but he’s just not my person."
The MTV star and tattoo artist met through mutual friends in late 2020 and got engaged in May 2021.
Split rumors began to swirl just a month later and Briana confirmed in August 2021 that they had split.
She explained that he couldn't get used to life in the spotlight.

"He never understood the TV life, the attention on social media and he wanted me all to himself and that wasn’t fair," the mother-of-two said.
"I know people are speculating that we called off the engagement because of Chris' podcast but there was more to the story.
"We weren’t on the greatest of terms. A lot of arguing and miscommunication."
Briana appeared on Chris' podcast P.T.S.D - Pressure Talks With Single Dads - last year to talk about things that affect "single moms".

She went on to say that Javi didn't want her to be on good terms with Devoin Austin, the father of her daughter Nova, 10, or Luis Hernandez, the father of her daughter Stella, four.
"He never wanted me to mend my relationship with Devoin for the sake of Nova, never wanted me to talk to Luis about Stella," she said.
"He never liked me hanging out with my two best friends Shae and Shirley.
"He viewed me as a piece of property and not as a wife so I started to check out."
'FREE AND BETTER'
Briana added: "I stayed as long as I could because I loved his kids so much and I still do but it wasn’t the best place to keep myself in.
"I’m sorry to Javi for everything that has happened but I’m not sorry for calling off the engagement. I feel free and better.
"And I'm sure he feels the same way."
The Teen Mom star had announced her engagement to Javi in May after he proposed to her during a romantic Miami getaway.
He popped the question with a baby jaguar wearing a collar and tag that asked "Will you marry me?" during their visit to a zoo in Miami.
Despite only getting engaged in May, fans began to speculate the pair had called it quits by June.

Split rumors began to swirl when the TV personality and tattoo artist unfollowed each other on Instagram, while Briana deleted all photos with Javi on her feed.
Reflecting on their split, Javi later claimed they have "different principles", while Briana said she wasn't "ready for a relationship" at the time.
