16 & Pregnant Update: Ebony Jackson is married to Josh Rendon and trying for another baby
Ebony Jackson was one of the original teen moms featured on MTV’s 16 & Pregnant, but both she and Whitney Purvis reportedly weren’t invited to be featured on the fame-inducing sensation Teen Mom.
On Ebony’s episode she seemed like a girl with a good head on her shoulders, but the baby’s father Josh needed to step it up a little. At the time he seemed pretty bad, but 16 & Pregnant Season 2A has shown us a vast array of young dads who prove that it could be a lot worse.
Josh and Ebony are now married and Josh is in the air-force, studying to be a mechanic, and they’re talking about expanding their family.
Even though Ebony missed out on a higher degree of fame and a potentially huge paycheck by not going on to become a Teen Mom, she recently told Life & Style (via celebritybabyscoop.com) that she’s glad she wasn’t chosen to be on the hit show. “The Teen Mom couples are just so unhappy,” she says. “And now they have to deal with everyone knowing them and getting in their faces.”
Ebony has speculated that she wasn’t chosen for the show because her life wasn’t as dramatic or chaotic as some of the other girls (exhibit A). Also, her military housing would make it difficult for MTV to get permission to film.
Eight months ago Ebony posted this message to her fans via Teen Mom star Maci Bookout’s Facebook Page:
