Tahlia Brookins competed on this cycle of America’s Next Top Model and championed for burn victims all the while. Now the eighteen year old has revealed on The Tyra Banks Show that she is pregnant.

“I just so happen to be pregnant,” Brookins revealed during an appearance on Wednesday’s broadcast.  “My initial reaction to my pregnancy was shock.”

“I was told multiple times over and over that I couldn’t get pregnant just from my scars holding me back, other physical things going on with my body,” Brookins told Banks. “I was always told I was never going to be able to conceive children.”

“Once I got home, my boyfriend and I started having some complications. Shortly after that, we did break up because we both agreed that we had some stuff we needed to work on individually. So that is exactly what we are doing and still doing.”

But her boyfriend won’t let the break-up interfere with his parental responsibilities…

“When I first found out I was surprised and excited at the same time because members of my family since the moment they saw me and Tahlia together have told me that they know we are going to be together and have a family together,” Michaels told Us. “And, yes we have complications we are working through right now, but I know we will be able to get through it as a couple because we both still are in love.”

While I am happy they are going to work at being together for the kid, it breaks my heart when children have children. Thank God they aren’t terminating the pregnancy, but teenage parents just can’t do for babies what adult parents can. Our thoughts and prayers are with them all.
