Family Expansion
Lowry and Scott announced the twins’ birth on the Barely Famous podcast, noting the babies were conceived just before a trip to Thailand in March. The twins arrived five weeks early and spent several days in the NICU. In February 2024, Lowry posted the twins’ names on TikTok, explaining that “Verse” comes from a basketball-related nickname and “Valley” reflects her Pennsylvania roots.
Twins’ Names and Meaning
- Verse – Derived from “Iverson,” a nickname suggested by son Lincoln, who loves basketball.
- Valley – Named after Lehigh Valley, the area where Lowry grew up.
Lowry celebrated the twins’ first birthday in October 2024 with a ghost-themed party, sharing a video on Instagram and writing, “I can not believe the twins are already one! They have brought so much joy into our family!”
Tubes Tied
After her C-section, Lowry confirmed on Barely Famous that she had her tubes tied. The decision came after her second pregnancy, which also ended in a C-section. Lowry stated, “I’m not going to rush him into something based on someone else’s standards. What works for us is waiting until he’s ready.”

Isaac’s Growth
Lowry was 17 when Isaac was born. The son turned 16 in 2023 and expressed interest in music and basketball. He told the audience on Barely Famous, “Right now, I love playing piano. I want to learn to play guitar like we talked about.” He also said, “I want to be a writer,” hoping to write a memoir one day.
Lincoln’s Balance
Lincoln’s parents, Lowry and Javi Marroquin, adapted their custody plan in 2025 when Marroquin was stationed in Virginia. Lincoln spends the school year in Delaware with Lowry and summers, holidays, and three-day weekends in Virginia. Lowry described him as “sporty” and “athletic,” and added that he is “a nurturer” and “the best big brother in the entire world.”
Lux’s Resilience
Lux faced criticism over his hair length and diaper use. Lowry defended her parenting choices, stating, “I’ll cut it when he tells me he wants to cut it. But you can mind your business lil momma.” She also said, “I’m not going to rush him into something based on someone else’s standards.” Lux celebrated his 6th birthday with a WWE-themed party in 2023.
Creed’s Journey
Creed was born home weighing 8 lbs., 15 oz. Lowry revealed her pregnancy struggles in 2020, describing the possibility of abortion and her nervousness about public reaction. She ultimately chose to keep the baby, saying, “I’m happy he’s here. I love him so much.” Creed’s personality is described as “a different breed,” with Lowry hopeful he will “go places.”
Rio’s NICU Story
Lowry quietly welcomed Rio in November 2022 but kept the birth private until October 2023. She explained that the baby had a “traumatic entrance” and spent time in the NICU. Lowry called Rio “the best baby ever” and noted, “Honestly, being a mom to four was harder than five, but I think that was because my number four is so spicy. Number five is fantastic.”
Parenting Philosophy
Lowry has repeatedly said she does not consider herself an expert. She told News Of Los Angeles, “Every child is so different and every experience is so different. I definitely would not consider myself an expert, but I’ve been around the block a couple of times with kids.”
She emphasized the importance of letting children set their own pace, especially for Lux and Rio. Lowry also highlighted her support for Isaac, who has become a co-parent with his father, Jo Rivera, and their amicable relationship.
