Heavy Teen Mom news.
Sean Garinger, who filmed for the sixth season of “16 & Pregnant,” died at the age of 20.
People magazine reported that Garinger, who fathered his ex-girlfriend Selena Gutierrez’s children, Dareli and Esmi, died from injuries sustained from an unexpected event while he was on his ATV. While speaking to The U.S. Sun following her son’s death, Mary Hobbs stated that the accident occurred on their Boone, North Carolina property.
“He was just moving [the ATV] from one parking spot to the next for me, so I could back into park. He pulled [in] front of me to park the ATV and the ground gave way from all the rain and mud,” said Hobbs.
According to Hobbs, the vehicle ended up on top of him, causing severe injury to his skull.
“I ran to neighbors trying to get someone to help me get the ATV off of him. No one answered. I ran back to him. By that time, I realized he wasn’t alive anymore,” recalled Hobbs.
She shared that she is heartbroken by the February 28, 2024, death of her son.
“There was a huge part of my heart that died with my son on Wednesday. He was my only son, my rock, my strength when I had none left,” said Hobbs.
Selena Gutierrez Spoke About Motherhood After Welcoming Dareli
Gutierrez met up with MTV cameras to give an update on her life, after filming “16 & Pregnant” season 6 in 2021. She stated that she was residing with her grandmother in Colorado. She shared that she preferred living in Colorado to Arizona as she and Dareli were surrounded by their relatives.
“Arizona was really boring. Kind of. Because it was just me and Mary and Sean all the time. So whenever Sean would be at work, it would be me and the baby alone all the time. There’s like kids that she can play with now. And you can tell she’s more open now,” stated the MTV personality.
She also stated that she enjoyed being a mother.
“My favorite thing about being a mom is the connection that you have with your own daughter is just different than what you would have with your siblings or niece. Like she’s been in my stomach for nine months. We grew that bond. And I can already, like, sense her. And she can sense me. It is really cool to have someone you will always have and understand,” said Gutierrez.
