Unexpected star Hunter Johnson has been ordered by the court to not sleep over at girlfriend Bella Vaughn’s home.
According to court documents obtained by Us Weekly, Hunter’s father, Casey Johnson, filed for full custody of his son, now 14, in April 2025. Casey claimed that Hunter’s mom, Stacie Riddle, created an “unstable and unwholesome environment.”
Seven months later, Casey was awarded temporary joint custody of Hunter after she asked the court to dismiss his bid for full custody. The judge also ruled in November 2025 that Hunter would no longer be allowed to “live with” Bella, 15, and her family, or be able to stay over at her house, per his father’s request to the court.
“Neither party shall allow the minor child to stay overnight at a romantic partner’s house,” the temporary custody order states. (The exes’ court battle remains ongoing.)
The Ashley was first to report. Us Weekly has reached out to TLC for comment.
Hunter and Bella’s relationship has been featured on season 7 of the TLC series as they geared up to welcome son Wes who was reportedly born in March 2025. On the show, the pair have navigated disagreements with their respective family members over Bella’s pregnancy and Hunter’s grades in school as they prepare to become parents. The pair have made headlines due to their young age.
During the February premiere, Hunter revealed that his father had a strong reaction to Bella’s pregnancy news.
“He said I ruined my life,” Hunter said of Casey in a confessional. “I do not feel like I ruined my life.”
Meanwhile, Bella’s parents, Kris Vaughn and Falen Vaughn, took to social media to react to their daughter’s controversial pregnancy.
“I just wanted to come on here and make a quick video,” Kris shared in a January TikTok video. “Due to all the trolls and the women quickly being known as what I have to say on TV as the unscrewables, they are going to make season 7 hot. It’s going to be a hot season. All they’re doing is making us the stars of the show and I got to tell y’all, my royalty check is going to be so fat.”
Ahead of giving birth, Bella revealed in a January TikTok video that her boyfriend was 12 years old when they conceived their son. Bella claimed that Hunter turned 13 a few days after conception.
“I understand it doesn’t make it any better. I understand he was sexually ready faster than I was, and that’s OK, but I was ready when we had sex,” she said in the video. “You can all stop saying that it was illegal and that I raped him because I didn’t. It was both intentional. On both sides, people have already said that. We’ve already talked to the cops about it. It was consensual.”
Bella continued, “I did not ruin Hunter’s life. I gave, when I found that I was pregnant, I gave him the option. I said, ‘If you can’t do this or you don’t want to be here, that is fine. I understand we’re both very young, but I can do this on my own or with you. It’s your decision. Whatever you choose, I’m fine with.’ He chose to stay with me. He chose to take care of our baby.”
