I got pregnant at 16 & expecting my fourth baby at 24 – people assumed I'd have an abortion & break up with boyfriend
WHEN Madison Chavez fell pregnant at 16 years old, there were plenty of people in her life who didn't think she'd keep the baby – yet alone stay with her high school boyfriend Josh.
Flash forward eight years, the former teen mum, who lives in the US, is now expecting their fourth baby and the pair have proved all the doubters wrong.
In a recent Q&A video on their YouTube channel, the couple – who are now married – revealed that they first met on Facebook through a mutual friend.
Madison said: "We didn't have much time in the relationship before we became parents.
"We never got to enjoy each other and just being young."
In a viral TikTok video, Madison – who has her own clothing company Indie Moon – addressed the people who thought she should have had an abortion.

Describing how they were only going to be casually dating at first, Madison said: "When he was supposed to be your high school sneaky link but now you're almost a decade in and about to pop out baby number four."
Opening up about how they adapted to life as parents on their channel, the mum continued: "Everything was hard about [having a baby].
"We didn't have a car, we didn't have a house, we didn't have jobs."
What's more, Josh said they didn't have much help from family members either.
When asked if they'd ever broken up, Josh explained: "We've never given each other a strong reason to not want to be with each other."
Madison added: "We've grown up with each other, we've been each other's one and only.
"We've never been around family, we never had a support system here or help with the kids.
"It's only been me and him so I feel like that has made us so much stronger."
