15-year-old Bella Vaughn is bracing for motherhood with a boyfriend who was just 12 years old when their baby was conceived, and her father is making it clear the family is profiting from the backlash.
The Arkansas teen and her now 13-year-old boyfriend, Hunter, are featured in the new season of the TV documentary series Unexpected, which follows teenage parents as they navigate the challenges of teen pregnancy.
But instead of focusing only on the show itself, much of the online conversation is centered around the couple’s ages and the role Bella’s parents have played in putting their daughter’s story on television and social media.
