TEEN Mom Briana DeJesus has given fans a glimpse at the construction process of her Florida home in a new video.
The MTV star purchased the Florida townhome for $269,600 in November of 2019 and was soon involved in a legal battle with a construction company over its renovations.

Briana, 28, provided her Instagram followers with a quick look at the home’s interior with a Boomerang video posted to her Stories on Sunday.
Captioned with a single red heart emoji, the short video showed one of the home’s hallways with its tile flooring partially installed.
The dark concrete subfloor could still be seen underneath the neutral grays of the new tile while the painted white walls were lit by the natural sunlight shining through a window.
Briana’s 2,067 sqft, two-story home boasts four bedrooms and four bathrooms.
The kitchen features white cabinets, stainless steel appliances, gray countertops, an island, tile floor and silver finishings.
Briana painted the walls of her dining and family room gray.
The rooms are complete with a white and brown table and white couch.
The walls of the home are complete with family photos, including a photo of her daughters Nova, 11, and Stella, five.
The home boasts two walk-in closets, a laundry room, a master bathroom with his and hers sinks, and a walk-in shower.
It also has a two-car garage, which Briana seems to use as a playroom, as her daughters have been spotted riding their bikes and scooters there on the show.
Briana moved into the townhouse on an episode of Teen Mom 2 with her mom, Roxanne, who is also listed on the home, her sister, Brittany, and daughters, Nova and Stella.
She has also documented the accomplishment on social media, as she updated fans on the construction of the home and when they were moving in.
She captioned an Instagram photo of her daughters on move-in day: “We made it.”
Briana has said on the show that life in the new home has been going “well” and that she is “proud.”
But the move has come with struggles, as The Sun previously reported Briana has been sued for over $5,000 after she allegedly failed to pay construction fees on her new townhouse, though she claims the company “messed up” the work.
In a claim of lien exclusively obtained by The Sun, a construction company provided granite, paint, plumbing materials, labor, and related supplies for Briana and her mom Roxanne’s Florida home from November 25, 2019 to January 21, 2020.
The court papers filed on February 21 claim Briana and her mother owe the “unpaid” amount of $5,585.25.
Briana exclusively told The Sun of the legal battle: “Granite was not cut right and they messed up the plumbing. We are fighting to not pay for it because they messed up.”
NEW BOO
Briana hard-launched her new boyfriend in photos on social media last week after the reality TV star took to her Instagram Stories earlier this week to reveal her new man.
In one snap, Briana captured a close-up shot of her tattooed beau, tagging him in the photo and adding a red heart emoji.
The fan page, Teen Mom Chatter, shared the post and a video that the reality star’s boyfriend shared on his page.
In the clip, he filmed Briana from behind, walking during a night out together.
She sported black leggings, a tight black top, and sneakers, with her long dark hair flowing straight down.

The Teen Mom 2 alum smiled as she looked back at her man while he recorded her.
He captioned the video “My boogie” with a green heart emoji and tagged the TV star.
This is the first time Briana has revealed her new love interest to her fans, though still, little is known about him.
His Instagram profile does not list his name, though it does say he’s a Philadelphia native who moved to Florida, which is where Briana resides with her two kids.
THE BREAKUP
The relationship comes two years after Briana called off her engagement with her ex Javi Gonzalez.
She confirmed the split during a Q&A session on her Stories.
After one person asked if the TV personality was “single,” Briana simply responded: “Yes.”
A following fan then asked, “What happened to you and Javi?”
The mother of two responded: “Nothing crazy. I came to the conclusion that I thought I wanted to be in a relationship but in reality, the thought of it sounded nice but I am just not ready for it.
“Had a great year with him but rn I have other plans. Maybe in the future we will meet again.
“I love him and he’s a great guy.”
The young mom and tattoo artist met through mutual friends in late 2020 and got engaged in May 2021.
‘FREE AND BETTER’
Briana opened up about the breakup in an exclusive interview with The U.S. Sun, revealing that Javi couldn’t get used to life in the spotlight.
“He never understood the TV life, the attention on social media and he wanted me all to himself and that wasn’t fair,” she explained.
“I know people are speculating that we called off the engagement because of Chris’ podcast but there was more to the story,” Briana added, referencing her appearance last year on Kailyn Lowry’s baby daddy, Chris Lopez’s podcast, P.T.S.D – Pressure Talks With Single Dads.
“We weren’t on the greatest of terms. A lot of arguing and miscommunication.”
She went on to say that Javi didn’t want her to be on good terms with Devoin Austin, the father of her daughter Nova or Luis Hernandez, the father of her daughter Stella.
“He never wanted me to mend my relationship with Devoin for the sake of Nova, never wanted me to talk to Luis about Stella,” she said.
“He never liked me hanging out with my two best friends, Shae and Shirley.
“He viewed me as a piece of property and not as a wife so I started to check out.”
Briana added: “I stayed as long as I could because I loved his kids so much and I still do but it wasn’t the best place to keep myself in.
“I’m sorry to Javi for everything that has happened but I’m not sorry for calling off the engagement. I feel free and better.
“And I’m sure he feels the same way.”
