Tyler Baltierra and Catelynn Lowell chose adoption for their oldest daughter, eight-year-old Carly, and in a sneak peek at the new season of "Teen Mom OG," Baltierra is seen venting about his strained relationship with Carly's adoptive parents, Brandon and Teresa. Following a tense season six of the MTV reality show, it looks like not a lot has changed between the couple and the reality star but fortunately for Baltierra, he hasn't let the drama between them get to him too much.

In the preview clip shared on Twitter, Tyler Baltierra was seen talking to one of his MTV producers and revealing that he simply doesn't need to have a relationship with Brandon and Teresa.

Although he did acknowledge that he needs to remain on good terms with them if he wants to continue on with his open adoption, he said their relationship isn't at the top of his priority list. Instead, his main concern is maintaining his relationship with Carly.

Although some fans of "Teen Mom OG" have felt that Tyler Baltierra's comments were somewhat abrasive, he released a statement to his fans and followers shortly after the sneak peek was shared and further explained his thoughts. "To be clear, I DO care about the relationship with Carly’s parents," he noted. However, continuing on, Baltierra confirmed that his relationship with Brandon and Teresa isn't at the top of his list.
