Ethan Ybarra and Myrka Cantu Journey on ‘Unexpected’
Before learning of their pregnancy, Myrka Cantu and Ethan Ybarra were high school students. Myrka was a member of the high school cheerleading squad, and Ethan was a football player who enjoyed athletics. The couple admitted that they panicked when they learned of the pregnancy before opting to keep the baby. Myrka intended to tell her parents about her pregnancy, but Lilliana Cantu, Myrka’s mother, was not pleased.
Myrka’s family was horrified by her pregnancy, and her mother insisted that she have an abortion. When Myrka refused to agree to the abortion, she was met with a barrage of abuse, and her mother eventually ejected her from her home. She was forced to reside with her lover, Ethan, after being kicked out.
The pair next shifted their attention to Ethan’s mother, who was extremely supportive (although Myrka subsequently claimed that it was a ruse) and went out of her way to assist the teen parents on their trip. She also expressed her desire for Myrka’s mother to be more involved in the procedures.
Myrka and her mother later reunited after Lilliana attended the Ybarras’ baby shower for Myrka. The moms of Ethan and Myrka began to bond, and Lilliana was even shown the newborn’s room at Ethan’s parents’ home. The show finished on a happy one for the couple, who now have a lovely daughter and are making plans for the future.

Are ‘Myrka Cantu’ and ‘Ethan Ybarra’ Still Together or Not?
Ethan and Myrka are still married and have a beautiful life with their child. After saying their goodbyes on our television screens, Myrka and Ethan shared some surprising and unexpected news, alleging that Ethan’s mother, Michelle Ybarra, had forced the pair, along with their baby, to leave her home.
Michelle wasn’t “real” on the show, according to Myrka, and was acting for the cameras. She stated that, despite the fact that she and Ethan did not get along with Ethan’s mother, she maintained contact with the rest of her boyfriend’s family.
Ethan and Myrka appear to be quite pleased with each other, as well as with their infant and parenthood. Myrka expressed her delight in being a mother and stated that her relationship with Lilliana is improving.
Ethan, on the other hand, stated that while he enjoyed being a father, he felt he needed to evolve and grow up in order to provide Myrka with the support she deserved. When asked about their experience being parents, the couple acknowledged that while it was difficult at times, it drew them closer together in the end.
Mryka stated that the baby brought about many changes but that it was ultimately a joyful experience. She also shot down suggestions that the couple may have another child soon. The couple has been living with Myrka’s “papa” and attending school online since being booted out of Ethan’s mother’s house. To help support his family, Ethan got a job at HEB (a supermarket company). His Instagram account also suggests that he will be launching a baby clothing line soon.
The duo has even started a YouTube account where they intend to upload footage in the future. They frequently declare their love for each other and share charming and beautiful moments on social media. Ethan wished his 17-year-old girlfriend a happy birthday on Instagram in January 2021.
While it’s common for young couples to break up soon after becoming pregnant, Ethan and Myrka have overcome the odds by staying together, and we wish them all the best in the days ahead.
