I Love a Mama’s Boy: Where Is the Season 4 Cast Now? 5 Shocking Updates

It’s been nearly two years since the I Love a Mama’s Boy Season 4 finale aired on November 18, 2024 — and TLC is still sitting in silence about Season 5. But just because the show is on hiatus doesn’t mean the cast has gone quiet. From podcast confessionals to a Florida real-estate standoff that nearly blew up a 12-year marriage, here’s where the Season 4 families stand right now.

Matt & Kelly: Still Going Strong — With Devon, Not Brittany

The franchise icons are back in the headlines, and this time the news is surprisingly sweet. Just days ago, Matt McAdams appeared on The Sarah Fraser Show podcast alongside his mom Kelly and his girlfriend Devon — yes, together, in one interview. According to the episode listing, the trio addressed everything fans have been whispering about: Matt’s relationship with Devon, whether Devon and Kelly actually get along, the breakup scene with ex Brittany, and even rumors of a protective order filed by his ex Kim.

Remember where things left off: Matt’s relationship with Brittany collapsed in a cheating scandal (Matt admitted to seeing other women while dating her, then claimed he took “a coward’s way out”). Now, by all accounts, he’s “going strong” with Devon — and Kelly, who once admitted she doesn’t want to “share” her son, is at least willing to sit in the same podcast studio. For Matt, that’s progress.

Janelle, Josh & Tina: The Florida House That Has No Room for Mom

If any storyline proved this show is about marriages as much as moms, it’s this one. Josh and Janelle have been married for 12 years — and Josh has never lived apart from his mother, Tina. When the couple bought a house in Florida, the floor plan didn’t include Tina, and Janelle made her position crystal clear: mom can visit, but not move in.

The war over a mother-in-law suite became one of Season 4’s most viral moments. In an exclusive PopCulture clip, Tina told Janelle straight up: “What’s yours is mine, OK?” Janelle fired back: “You are not his wife!” Tina’s response: “I’m his mother! I came first.” And Josh, the man at the center of it all, just shrugged — prompting Janelle to tell him to “take a breather and wake the f— up.” Whether the Florida house ever got that suite? TLC hasn’t said. Fans speculate the marriage survived Season 4, but nobody would bet the house on Season 5.

Kristopher, Austin & Shirlene: Love Triangle, Take Two

Austin and his ex-boyfriend Kristopher were trying to rekindle their romance — under the disapproving gaze of Austin’s mother, Shirlene, who thinks Kris is toxic. The standoff escalated fast: Shirlene told Austin she’d “had enough” of Kris, and as she contemplated moving back to Los Angeles, Austin was forced into an impossible choice between his mother and his second-chance love. No public updates have confirmed who won that round. But if history is any guide, mama usually gets her way.

Natasha, Chase & Lori: The Southern Belle Showdown

The most polished feud of the season: two Southern belles, Natasha and her future mother-in-law Lori, competing for the spotlight — and Chase’s affection. From Lori hijacking Tash’s bridal gown appointment to asking whether Chase would “sleep in the middle” of the two women, this triangle was chaos in pearls. Chase never quite picked a side, and Natasha warned the camera it was like “The Hunger Games.” Their story ended mid-standoff, which is exactly why fans need answers.

The Bottom Line: Who HAS to Come Back for Season 5?

So here we are, two years on, with couples unresolved, moms unhinged, and a network that won’t talk. Matt seems to have found something real with Devon. Janelle’s marriage is hanging on a Florida floor plan. Shahid still can’t buy a ring without his mother’s budget. If Season 5 ever happens, which duo is non-negotiable? Are you Team Mom or Team Partner — and which mother-son pair HAS to return? Drop your pick in the comments below.
