Cheyenne Floyd and Zach Davis are ready to expand their family one final time.
On the Thursday, May 22, episode of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter, the couple confirmed they are expecting their second child together later this year.
“I think we were in shock,” Cheyenne exclusively told Us Weekly when recalling the scene when she found out she was pregnant. “It wasn’t expected, like, at all. God’s plan is always bigger than ours.”
As seen on the season finale, Cheyenne was preparing to start fertility treatments in less than a week. Everything changed, however, when a Clear Blue pregnancy test confirmed she was pregnant.
It’s exciting news for a couple who have bravely documented their journey in expanding their family on reality TV.
“This has been quite the journey for me and Chey,” Zach told Us. “We definitely kind of teetered back and forth on wanting a baby. I wanted one, and then she went through the phase of wanting one, and I wasn’t on the same page as her, but then we kind of came to the same chapter, and we tried to make it work.”
Along the way, the couple experienced infertility issues with Zach learning his sperm wasn’t “swimming.” As for Cheyenne, she discovered she has PCOS, a common hormonal disorder in women.
With help from therapy, their faith and the support of family and friends, the MTV reality stars never gave up hope.
“It’s God’s timing,” Zach explained. “God gave us a child right before we’re going to start. And I’m hella happy. I’m excited. I just want 10 fingers, 10 toes, and I’m happy.”
While Cheyenne admitted that she’s “constantly nauseous” and tired, she’s grateful she doesn’t have to hide the news anymore.
“On Snapchat is the hardest because I share so much on Snap,” Cheyenne joked. “People on Snap are like, ‘Why do you have a blanket on and it’s hot outside?’ or ‘Why do you have on a hoodie and it’s hot?’ I’m very happy that we’re sharing. … It’s like, I can’t hide it anymore.”
Throughout the season, both Cheyenne and Zach have been overwhelmed with supportive messages from people who have found themselves in similar situations.
After pushing through highs and lows, the couple hopes their story is a reminder to viewers to proceed with caution when asking others about their fertility journeys.
“Always give that person grace and allow them to share what they want to share before you’re asking a million questions and you’re prying,” Cheyenne said. “I just think that you have to be very mindful when you’re talking about fertility, and watch the trigger warnings. You just don’t know what can trigger a woman or a man when having these conversations.”
Now that another season of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter has wrapped, both Cheyenne and Zach are looking forward to making special family memories all summer long. (Cheyenne shares Ryder, 8, with ex Cory Wharton and Ace, 4, with Zac.)
They are also hoping to continue sharing their family’s reality for many more seasons to come.
“We’ve been so blessed to be able to share our story with the Teen Mom family now for eight years, and it’s a huge blessing,” Cheyenne explained. “The fact that we’ve built such a strong family, which is like an internet family, I want to keep sharing with the internet aunties and uncles, and I just hope that people continue to watch our journey and watch our family grow.”
Teen Mom: The Next Chapter airs on MTV Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET.
