Summary

  • Matthew Blevins, a controversial cast member of teen parent reality series Unexpected, has a terrible reputation for cheating, disrespecting others, and ignoring his daughter.
  • Matthew initially denied being the father of Hailey 2's baby, but later claimed the child as his own after their breakup and rumors of a potential reconciliation.
  • Matthew's relationship with his first child, Kinsley, is strained, and his recent arrest for robbery and assault adds to his troubled history. Both Hailey 1 and Hailey 2 should stay away from him for the sake of their children.

The drama on teen parent reality series Unexpected can get pretty wild, and Matthew Blevins was a controversial cast member. Season 3 introduced fans to perhaps the most dramatic of all the storylines: the tale of Matthew and the two Haileys. Co-stars and fans alike were totally unprepared for the shock of Matthew and Hailey "2" Tilford announcing their pregnancy in the season three Tell All. Now, there's curiosity surrounding what the father of two has been up to since rocking the Unexpected universe.

Thinking back to past daddy-villains of the show, there has always been another side to the young men's coins. For example, controversial cast member Diego Reyes didn't hide his lack of care for former Unexpected cast member Emily Noack or their child. But at the Tell All, he cried and showed his softer side, proving he was just a young man struggling to do his best and making mistakes along the way. Matthew, on the other hand, spent season 3 cheating on his pregnant girlfriend, Hailey Tomlinson, disrespecting Hailey and her mother, and ignoring his daughter, Kinsley. Then, at the Tell All, he walked out on stage and was disrespectful to the host.

Matthew Left Hailey 2 After Unexpected

Considering his terrible reputation and behavior, it's not at all surprising that Matthew eventually broke off his relationship with Hailey 2 and denied being the father of their unborn child. Hailey 2 then gave birth to a little boy named Levi. After seven months, she was still struggling to get Matthew to be involved in the baby's life. During that time, Hailey was dating and living with her new boyfriend, Cole. She did an Instagram Q&A and opened up about her plans to have a baby with Cole. She also took the opportunity to explain why she hadn't taken Matthew to court over child support. Apparently, she didn't "want him to have any type of rights to a child he doesn't claim. [She didn't] want him to be able to walk in and out when he chooses."

Matthew Claimed Levi As His Child

Since the drama, Matthew had a change of heart and claimed Levi as his own. Interestingly, this change of heart coincided with Hailey 2's breakup with Cole. It also coincided with rumors about Matthew and Hailey hooking up or potentially establishing a friends-with-benefits situation. Matthew and Hailey deny they have any relationship outside of co-parenting. Although he's working at a co-parenting relationship with Hailey 2, he doesn't seem to have a strong relationship with his first child, Kinsley. Much of this may have to do with Matthew's arrest in December 2022. According to TV Shows Ace, Matthew "was arrested on December 28th, 2022. He was arrested for 2nd degree robbery, 4th degree assault (minor injury), and failure to appear citation for misdemeanor."

Unfortunately, Matthew's arrest doesn't come as too much of a surprise given his track record on Unexpected. While the outcome of his arrest remains unknown, Both Hailey 1 and Hailey 2 would be smart to stay away from Matthew. Kinsley and Levi may be better off without his presence until he gets his act together.
