Jordan Ward from 16 and Pregnant

On Tuesday MTV kicks off the third season of their enormously popular reality series 16 and Pregnant with ten new teenagers from all over the country who are having to learn the hardships and struggles associated with becoming a mother too young. The premiere episode will feature 18-year-old (16 when she got pregnant) Jordan Ward from St. Louis, Missouri.

Here’s a little preview clip of Jordan’s episode featuring her identical twin sister Jessica, who is extremely close to Jordan but seems to be struggling with jealousy issues after the birth of her son:

16 and Pregnant twins Jordan Ward and Jessica Ward as children Jordan Ward was born Jordan Tyler Ward-Stuart on February 14, 1993. In addition to her twin sister Jessica Tylor, Jordan has two brothers named John Thomas and Jeffrey Scott. The “J” names are thanks to Jordan’s mom and dad, who were named John and Jammie.

Jordan’s parents divorced when she was young and to help out her mom, who was trying to raise four kids alone, Jordan’s grandmother (Aleta) and grandfather took in the twins. Jordan and Jessica moved out when they were just two years old and were officially adopted by their grandparents when they were nine.

Jordan doesn’t reveal much about her relationship with her parents, other than it is amicable and she does still see them on occasion. her father John lives in Nashville and her mom Jammie currently resides in Florida.

Jordan met Brian Finder, who is nine months older, at her ex-boyfriend’s party (which apparently had something to do with a baseball game) and the two had been dating for six months before she got pregnant. Jordan says she had just started taking the pill at the time she got pregnant.

16 and Pregnant filming Jordan Ward giving birth to Noah

Noah James (Finder?) was born July 14, 2010 and weighed 7lbs, 5oz. Noah had a number of medical issues early on, which is why Jordan is crying and so stressed out in the preview. In addition to having GERD and needing an IV for the first couple days, little Noah also struggled with acid reflux, then a high fever at 2 months, and then an allergic reaction to the Amoxicillin prescribed for the fever that resulted in his face and body swelling. The little trooper is now healthy and doing all those things a healthy little baby should be doing!

Brian Finder proposed to Jordan during a carriage ride on September 18 and although filming had officially stopped in November, MTV couldn’t resist returning for the couple’s January 19 wedding ceremony!

16 and Pregnant Season 3 family Jordan Ward, Brian Finder and son Noah

Brian and Jordan Ward Finder moved into Jordan’s grandparents’ basement on April 2, where I believe they currently reside. Jordan took the GED in October. (I don’t know if she passed.) Brian has since joined the Air Force and the couple plans on moving to California this summer where Brian will attend school. Jordan’s twin sister Jessica will be moving to Nashville to attend college. (Sorry boys, it appears as though she is in a relationship.)

I haven’t seen the episode but judging from Jordan’s many online profiles and interaction with her family it appears as though she and her sister and her grandparents are still very close. She definitely doesn’t appear to be lacking for family support like a lot of the girls on the show!

I always see teen moms saying how great it is. If you could tell people whether they should or not, what would you say? We know you love your son, but what negative things come out of ut?
its hard for me to get out of the house to make it to class b/c to have someone to watch noah. & when i do make it to class im super tired from waking up in the middle of the night with noah. brian and i seem to fight more because we dont get alone time to talk each other and when we are talking its about noah. i could go on bout all the negative things about being a teenager and being a mom but their is good things too. God wont give me more than i can handle.

And here’s a parting shot of little Noah snoozing from Jordan’s Youtube channel:

Be sure to check out our other 16 and Pregnant profiles including Jennifer Del Rio, who has twin boys, one of which is named Noah! (Small world, huh?)

UPDATE - Watch Jordan’s after show interview in which she discusses the move to California, her son Noah’s bout with acid reflux, the rivalry between Brian and Jordan’s twin sister Jessica, whether or not adoption was ever an option and how Brian is as a dad!

Here’s a bonus clip from the episode thanks to MTV.com in which Jordan and her grandmother Aleta talk about whether or not Brian should move in or stay at his mother’s house:

Hm….they had been dating for 6 months before she got pregnant, and she got pregnant 6 months after her first time having sex. Doesn’t take a math genius to figure out they hopped in bed right away.
- Megan
  
  So? How is that any of your concern what they did or not. It sounds like your judging some elses life and not your own. I’m glad to say she IS my cousin. she id a GREAT MOM and a GREAT PERSON. She made a mistake. I know for FACT that they didn’t “hop in bed right away.” So, take your negative comment and go somewhere else where someone cares.
  - Cait
    
    Hey..she chooses to put her life on TV, she opens herself up to negative comments. That’s life babe. Gotta take the good with the bad.
  - http://starcasm.net/archives/95036 jessi
    
    She is you cousin? Wow!!! I might only be 16 but i have a twin and they all remind me of my family(: not to sound like a creeper but she is now like my new idol(:
- Megan
  
  People like you just need to keep their mouths shut and mind your own business. She made a mistake and is showing teens that pregnancy at a young age is difficult. Your comment was unnecessary and you have probably hopped into bed with plenty of guys. So how about you think about what you say next time and don’t make assumptions about my sister in law. K? Thanks.
- JenRose
  
  I dont know why your judging. you cant do anything about it. She made a mistake and she know thats , who cares if she did have sex right away it shouldnt matter to you. Thats how she chose to live her life, yeah she ended up with a baby but i bet you that baby is one of the best things that ever happened to her. If you dont have anything nice to say in the comments then i think you should just not post a comment at all. i dont know Jordan but she seems really nice.
  ~ Dont judge unless you know what she is going through and you were in her shoes.
  -but if you were in her shoes you wouldnt be judging.
- JORDAN FAN
  
  The comment “they hopped in bed right away” was very rude. Yeah she may have put her life out to the public, but to be honest i would too, to show that it wasn’t and isn’t easy being a teenage mom. i’m 15 not planning on having a kid soon. but all these girls don’t do the show for the fame or tv time, they do it to show how hard it is. They may have had sex early in their relationship, but it was their choice.
Cait

First you say she’s your cousin, and then you say she’s your sister in law? You need to get your facts straight. I’m not having a fight with someone who isn’t even sure how she’s related to someone. How old are you, 12? And also, you’re a hypocrite who yells at people for making assumptions about others, but you have no problem making assumptions about me? Think about what you’re saying before you contradict yourself like that.

Also, I was not making an assumption. She said she was dating him for 6 months, and got pregnant 6 months after her first time having sex. That’s basic math.

And I’ll say it one more time, she puts her life on TV, she opens herself up to public scrutiny. Any mature person is going to realize that. But from the looks of your grammar, spelling, and ability to figure out how you’re related to someone, you’re not mature.
Megan

First off the second one is me. I am her sister- in- law and the other one is her cousin. Secondly, are you really going to talk about maturity when you made the assumption about her hopping into bed right away with my brother? Get a life and YOU can mature a bit. You can scrutinize all you want, but you should definitely think before you speak. Your stupid comments aren’t needed and quit bringing up public scrutiny as your defense.
A.P.

The article said that she had been dating Brian for 6 months before she got pregnant and then said that she lost her virginity 6 months before she got pregnant.
Going by the article it looks like they started having sex very early on in the relationship. It is basic math, she started having sex 6 months before she got pregnant and she started dating Brian 6 months before getting pregnant, looks like it adds up by what the article says.
If thats not true Megan then I suggest writing to the person who wrote the article and ask them to set the record straight, not attacking commenters on here for what looks like a legit thought process.
Cait

Thank you A.P. Clearly Megan doesn’t understand the meaning of maturity. It is not immature to come to a rational conclusion based on things Jordan seems to have said herself. I’m not sure why she still believes that is making an assumption. She’s not making the family look very classy.
Megan

That’s not my point. You need to learn how to keep your comments to yourself. A mature person, or even a classy person wouldn’t make a comment as stupid as yours. Get a life and quit thinking you are so mature! It’s not considered immature sticking up for family when some idiot can’t keep her comments to herself. You wouldn’t appreciate someone saying that about you, but you won’t admit your comment was unnecessary. My point is watch what you say about my sister-in-law. Plain and simple.
Cait

You need to stop thinking YOU’RE so mature, since you made even worse comments about me, saying I’ve probably hopped into bed with plenty of guys. Of course, you clearly just pulled that out of your own bitterness, since I actually had some proof to back my statement up. You’re just a desperate liar. And while you may not LIKE my defense about public scrutiny, it’s true. Just wait until her episode airs…you’re gonna read comments that are much worse than mine. If you can’t handle that, stay off the internet. And if your family can’t handle it, they should stay off TV. Do you all think that if you put a pregnant 16 year old on national TV the feedback is going to be all sunshine and roses? Seriously just grow up. Anyway, i’m done arguing with such an ignorant person. Have fun trying to fight with every single person who says something bad about her after Tuesday. You’ll quickly learn that no one cares what you have to say.
A.P.

I’m sure there are a lot of people out there who read this and thought that they ‘hopped into bed right away’. Probably not the best way to word it, but even you Megan cannot deny that, that is what the article says. Like I said before, if any of this is untrue, you should write to the person who wrote this article. By attacking commenters and implying that they are the ones sleeping around is just ridiculous. Theres no article about Cait saying that she started having sex 6 months before getting pregnant and started dating her boyfriend 6 months before getting pregnant. By retorting her comment with ‘you’ve probably hopped into bed with lots of guys’ is just like when you’re having an arguement with someone who says you’re ugly and you retort with ‘yeah well you’re ugly’. Its something you do when you’re like 8, and does not show maturity very well at all. A mature person would leave the situation alone and realize that if she put her life on tv for people to see there will be ridicule and people who dont like her actions. Or email the writer letting them know thier article’s facts were wrong. There is no way that you’ll be able to set the record straight with every single person who does not think highly of Jordan.

you are all idiots.
Estrella

Oh Well if she got pregnant at a young age. What meatters is that she is being a mom and taking care of her responsibilities. Has anyone ever heard of the saying “If you dont have nothing nice to say, dont say it.” I Got Pregnant early in in my relationship but oh well. i dont care what anyone thinks. Dont Judge!!!!
aj

This show doesn’t teach teenager how hard it is to have a kid, if anything this show publicizes pregnancy for teens WAY TOO MUCH. If this show was helping teenagers there wouldn’t be season after season of this stupid show. FYI Cait you are right, when you put yourself on TV you should expect the criticism!!!!
Melva

All I want to know is where i can see some of her modeling work?
domino

Who cares when they slept together? This isn’t the 1800′s and the fact of the matter whether or not they slept together on the first date or months later, they now have a child, and are married and seem to be doing well.

I don’t get all of this puritanical outrage over people’s sex lives. People younger than this couple are having sex. It is the norm not the exception anymore.

If they slept together early on, why should it matter? There are adults in their 20′s,30′s, 40′s sleeping with people on the first and last date (occurring the same night).

For those saying the show publicizes teen pregnancy, well then, why are you watching it? Turn the channel. I doubt anyone watching the show, unless they have an I.Q of 5, would think that being a teen mom is a great choice in life. It is a hard road when you are an adult, and it is no less rocky if you are a teen.

Good luck to the couple. They may have been careless, but it would seem that they are making the best out of the situation and doing what they need to in order to have a happy family.

I Loved this episode! You and Jessica are so pretty! And it was cool that they picked someone from STL. thats where i reside too. And who cares when she had sex with brian..its none your business. At least she was in a relationship with someone unlike most girls these days. They got married Jan 19th so stop hatin and leaving all these negative comments. You and brian are cute together, good luck! =)
Syl

lol

Apparently no one told this chick it takes a month for the pill to get in her system and that she and her baby daddy needed to still use a CONDOM. Apparently common sense in not the family’s forte…or math…:)
Annie

“Domino” is completely right, I think Jordan is one of the best moms that has been on this show. Why does it matter when they had sex, I’m sure you arrogant people can find something better to do than comment on this girls sexual life. If you’re so mature why are you even on here scrutinizing her, that’s pretty adolescent if you ask me. And the show did air, I highly doubt there will be anymore rude comments due to the fact that she handled herself very well. Congrats girly, you have a beautiful family!
Crystal

I agree w/ Annie 100% )
Crystal

and im extreamly jelous that my stoach didnt look like that at all when I was preg so double congrats on that!
melinda

ok so i have been reading some of the comments and would like to say something:
1.) she did not say that she got pregnant 6 months after dating she said she got pregnant 6 months after she lost her virginity.
2.) she shouldn’t have to be criticized for what she does in her own personal life.
3.) 16 and Pregnant and Teen Mom are there to show teens what can happen if you decide to have sex and get pregnant. I don’t understand why people have to be so critical of others. Do people even realize that the bullying is getting out of control when it comes down to these girls.

  The article says “Jordan met Brian Finder, who is nine months older, at her ex-boyfriend’s party (which apparently had something to do with a baseball game) and the two had been dating for six months before she got pregnant.”
  In Jordan’s formspring question and answer section it says “did you get pregnant from the first time you had sex?
  no 6 months after my first time..”
  
  So, yes, between the article and her formspring it was said that she got pregnant around the time she and Brian began dating.

For those people saying who cares if teenagers get pregnant I care I was a teen mom worked two jobs all I see now are teens getting pregnant and going on welfare hey if these teens work then none of my business but if they do not work its my business I have to pay for them out of my taxes which takes food out of my kids mouth. So for those who say whats the big deal, it is!!!
