McKayla Adkins appeared on Unexpected as a pregnant teenager who was excited about going to prom. She was in love with her high school boyfriend. However, a lot has changed since she appeared on the show. She has built a career based on providing online content, and the sky is the limit for her.
McKayla and her grandparents were close. While she was pregnant by Caelan Morrison, who was her high school sweetheart, her grandparents supported her throughout the pregnancy (and after she gave birth). Her grandfather was not very happy, as he felt she was too young to handle parenthood, and although he said he was “disappointed,” he never stopped being “proud” of her. McKayla had a tough relationship with her mother because her mother had to give up her parental rights. Her mom started to do drugs, like some Unexpected cast members who have battled addiction.
McKayla’s mother eventually got clean during the series, and she and McKayla were working on rebuilding that relationship. Caelan’s mother occasionally played the maternal role for McKayla. Caelan's mother even said, “I have no respect for people who don’t take care of their children.” McKayla and Caelan’s rollercoaster relationship finally came to a halt, and this happened after they had two children, Timothy and Gracelynn.
These days, she has a thriving YouTube channel with almost 300K subscribers, where she discusses her teen pregnancies and opens up about life as a young mom. Also, the single mom was able to buy a beautiful house due to her income from OnlyFans, though many people don't approve of how she makes money. She may not care, as that money allows her to provide for her children and build financial stability. In her Instagram bio, she says that her OnlyFans account is in the top 0.4%, so she's joined hordes of TLC reality stars like Larissa Lima and Elizabeth Castravet, who also earn via the platform.
She also recently added to the "sunshine" tattoo she had on her arm, which she got because "sunshine" has s special meaning for her and her grandfather. She now has a whole tattoo sleeve. McKayla is currently in a relationship with a new man and appears to be happy. She has discussed her nose job, saying that she loves it but wouldn’t recommend it for other people because of the mental toll that having the procedure takes.
Being a young mom is difficult. This is especially true when the dynamics of a teenage relationship are involved. Although Caelan and McKayla are not together, they created wonderful children. McKayla has made a brand-new life for herself after Unexpected, just like Hailey Tomlinson has.
