15-year-old Unexpected star Bella Vaughn is sharing candid details about her sex life with her 13-year-old boyfriend, Hunter.
“All he wants to do is have sex,” Bella, who is pregnant with Hunter’s child in the upcoming seventh season of Unexpected, said in a preview clip shared by TLC via Instagram on Thursday, February 12.
Bella’s mother, Falen, who sat beside her in the confessional interview, looked confused as she replied, “What?”
Bella reasoned, “I’m not gonna get pregnant again; I’m already pregnant.”
Elsewhere in the clip, Bella recalled how she found out she was expecting.
“The condom broke,” she explained with a shrug, adding, “Oops.”
Bella continued, “I found out I was pregnant because I missed my period. My periods were 28 days on the dot. When I missed that period that morning, I was like, ‘Mom, I need to take a test.’ Surely enough, it was positive.”
Falen recalled feeling like her “heart sunk that day.”
“She literally grabbed the test off the counter and started running,” Bella said of her mom.
Bella also admitted, “We could have waited a bit longer,” later clarifying that she meant they could have waited to have sex, but “it was his idea.”
Bella previously revealed via a TikTok video that Hunter was 12 years old when they conceived their son, Wes, but he turned 13 a few days later. She also shut down speculation that their sexual relationship wasn’t consensual.
“I understand it doesn’t make it any better. I understand he was sexually ready faster than I was, and that’s OK, but I was ready when we had sex,” she said. “You can all stop saying that it was illegal and that I raped him because I didn’t. It was both intentional. On both sides, people have already said that. We’ve already talked to the cops about it. It was consensual.”
Bella added, “I did not ruin Hunter’s life. I gave, when I found that I was pregnant, I gave him the option. I said, ‘If you can’t do this or you don’t want to be here, that is fine. I understand we’re both very young, but I can do this on my own or with you. It’s your decision. Whatever you choose, I’m fine with.’ He chose to stay with me. He chose to take care of our baby.”
Bella also argued that she and Hunter are not “glorifying” teen pregnancy by appearing on Unexpected.
“Nothing is being glorified. If you watch my mom’s TikToks, we say how hard it is, we say we would never recommend it to anyone,” she explained. “If you watch Unexpected, they show how hard it is, they show how [many] fights you get [into] and how annoying it is and how inconvenient it is. That is what Unexpected is about. It’s not about glorifying it. I’m not recommending teen pregnancy to anybody.”
In TLC’s preview clip, Hunter said he was 12 years old when he found out he would be a father, admitting that he “did not think [he] would be finishing 8th grade and becoming a dad at the same time.”
Likewise, Bella said, “I did not think at 15 years old I’d be pregnant. I didn’t think [it would be] with a 13-year-old either.”
Unexpected follows a group of teens navigating pregnancy and parenthood. Bella and Hunter are among the show’s youngest couples.
Unexpected season 7 premieres on TLC Monday, February 16, at 9 p.m. ET.
