In one clip, the mother filmed her daughter, who was pregnant at 15, and said: “Tell me you’re pregnant without telling me you’re pregnant.”
The video showed his daughter eating a vegetable litter and added sour candy to the top to satisfy her pregnancy cravings and went viral with over 49 million views.
More than two years later, their daughter is now mom to a boy named Greyson and the family shared an update on what life has been like.
Krystal, who is a mother of three, revealed that her daughter and grandson still live at home with her.
“I love it when they come and go to bed with me when my husband goes to work,” she wrote while sharing a candid video of them all cuddled up in bed.
She also revealed that Greyson has now started talking and walking – a sign of how well supported and loved he and his mother are.
Krystal also noted that her daughter recently graduated from school while being a full-time mom.
This breaks my heart,” one wrote in the comments section, but the mom said there was no reason to feel that way since the teen mom was destroying her life.
“She shouldn’t have! She graduated high school and was accepted into nursing school!” Kristal replied.
The proud mother and grandmother constantly shares her family’s progress on social media and continues to support them.
The clip has since gone viral on her TikTok account @krystalmaynard_official with more than 1.3 million views and 25 thousand likes.
People were quick to share their opinions about her teenage daughter’s journey and she seemed very torn.
One person wrote: “Lovely to see a family support a daughter as she raises hers…things happen and look at all the support this young lady is getting!”
Another commented: “I was 18 when I had my son, my mom was just like you and now I’m 32, earning 6 figures and supporting her.
