But a vacation like this is sure to have some drama. For this installment, the moms were invited to bring their husbands and boyfriends along for a little relationship R&R away from the kids in a gorgeous country. Teen Mom 2 stars Cheyenne Floyd and Jade Cline were tapped as hosts for this international getaway. Cheyenne, of course, brought her husband, Zach Davis, and Jade brought her then-fiancé and now husband, Sean Austin.

Joining them were couples Maci Bookout and Taylor McKinney, Catelynn and Tyler Baltierra, Cory Wharton and Taylor Selfridge, Kayla Sessler and Ryan Leigh, and Mackenzie McKee and Khesanio Hall. Singles Briana Dejesus, Leah Messer, and Kiaya Elliot also stepped foot in the group house during Season 3.

Relationship experts Dr. Mike Dow and Michaiah Dominguez also appeared on the show, meeting with the couples to work through their various relationship problems.

However, not everyone arrived on the same day of the trip, so new folks were constantly seen coming into the house as the season progressed.

When was Season 3 of 'Teen Mom: Family Reunion' filmed?

Teen Mom: Family Reunion Season 3 was filmed in Cartagena, Colombia. It was filmed just days before Jade's wedding to Sean, which was in early November 2023. That said, Teen Mom: Family Reunion was roughly believed to have been filmed some time in October 2023.

What can we expect from Season 3 of 'Teen Mom: Family Reunion'?

In an exclusive interview with Distractify, Cheyenne and Jade shared that filming this season was vastly different from the first two.

"I think number one is just having us all living in one house—like I could hear everything. There were no secrets," she explained. Cheyenne also noted that all of the couples came prepared to work on their relationships and take advantage of being kid-free for a few days.

"I feel like this the first time everybody kind of let loose, put their guards down, got vulnerable, had a good time. [We] probably showed too much and said too much," she teased.

Jade chimed in, "It was getting messy," comparing the group's vacation home to "old MTV house reality" shows. "We wanted to make this fun house reality [show], But of course, sprinkle in a little therapy."

She added: "I think everyone cried a lot, but we also laughed a lot."

This is the first time that the show brought Teen Mom alums out of the country together. Seasons 1 and 2 of Teen Mom: Family Reunion were both filmed in California, meaning the parents were only a phone call or FaceTime away from their kids. But going abroad sans your kids can definitely feel like lightyears away.

"As for leaving the kids behind, it didn't come easy. I'm a very helicopter hands-on mom," Cheyenne told us. "I had a rough time leaving my kids, [and] I know it was hard for them. But I do think that as parents, to be good parents, we also have to learn how to pour into ourselves and learn to pour into our marriage and our relationship. So we wanted to take this opportunity to do exactly that. Focus on each other and take less focus off the kids."

Teen Mom: Family Reunion premieres on Wednesday March 13 at 8 p.m. EST on MTV.
