DeJesus' husband-to-be will make his debut onTeen Mom 2on Tuesday. Ina promo for the episode, DeJesus admitted that she was nervous to go public with the relationship.
“It’s a struggle for me to introduce him to my world,” she said.
During an episode ofTeen Momthat aired in June 2018, DeJesus revealed that Marroquin, 28, proposed to her, but she ultimately turned down his offer. “It wasn’t my ideal proposal and I wasn’t going to accept the ring,” she said. “It’s not the right time, so I gave it back to him. He wants to marry me, he wants me to have his children, he wants me to move in with him. There’s a lot of stuff that he wants.”
DeJesus added, “Javi is a person that wants things down yesterday. That’s the military life. I get it. But that’s not how I live my life.”
