SARAH ROBERTS
Chickamauga, GA
Baby: Tinleigh Louise Thomas (b. June 18, 2011)
Baby Daddy: Blake Thomas
Episode 409: May 15, 2012
Three weeks after her daughter, Tinleigh, was born, Sarah's boyfriend, Blake left town. “I felt betrayed, angry and hurt. I'm now a teen mother, and a single mother,” Sarah wrote in a guest blog post for Huff Post Teen. “I love my daughter more than anything in the world, but the reality is that being a mom at 17 is difficult.” Still, Sarah managed to graduate high school with her class and is currently attending college, where she's majoring in psychology. As for Blake, he is currently living across the state line from Sarah in Tennessee. In December 2012, he was arrested in Hamilton County for unlawfully removing a vehicle's registration plate. A month later, he was picked up again by police for driving with a suspended license. In the summer of 2012, Sarah learned that he had impregnated another teenage girl. He is not in Tinleigh's life at all, according to Sarah. “I no longer watch my episode because of Blake,” she says, adding that it's unlikely that we will see her on television again. “As far as doing a 'Where Are They Now?' [episode for 16 and Pregnant] no,” Sarah says. “They would want to talk to Blake and about him and I don't want to deal with it. I am and always will be so thankful I wasn't chosen [for Teen Mom 3]. The only positive thing of that show is money,” she says. “I believe 16 and Pregnant encourages teen pregnancy. It's no longer realistic.”

After the breakup, Sabrina and her daughter, Audrey, moved back to Los Angeles, where she and Iman are originally from, but she and the baby ended up moving back to Tennessee shortly after to be closer to Sabrina's mother. “Iman has not seen her since then,” she says. “I bought him a plane ticket to come see her a long time ago but he still has not come to see her.” In August 2012, Sabrina began dating a new guy, and says she's very happy with the way her new boyfriend treats her and Audrey. As of March 2013 she was working at a Walgreens in Tennessee and attending college. She plans to become an elementary school teacher.
