Teen Mom star Devoin Austin praised for taking Briana DeJesus’ daughters Nova, 10, and Stella, 4, on cute day out
FANS gushed over Briana DeJesus’ ex Devoin Austin for taking Nova and her half-sister Stella out for a fun day of ice cream and playtime.
The Teen Mom 2 star has had difficulties with her other baby daddy, Luis, and his relationship with her youngest daughter.
But Devoin, 29, has been praised for his efforts with both of the girls, Nova, 10, and Stella, four.
On Tuesday’s episode of the MTV show, the reality star took the tiny tots on a playdate to an ice cream shop.
The trio visited a food truck where they got drinks and later shared ice cream at picnic tables.
The father of one tucked a napkin into Stella’s shirt before she began snacking, as he told her: “That’s protection.”

“Try to lean forward as close as possible when you scoop it so that way you won’t have to bring it over you and it won’t drop,” he instructed.
Devoin then asked: “How’s the ice cream,” as Stella gave him a thumbs up.
Both girls then headed for a bounce house where they jumped while the TV personality watched.
The young dad smiled as his girls played before the clip closed out.

Fans were very impressed with Devoin’s transformation as a father, especially as he spends time with Stella, Luis’s child.
FAN PRAISE
One re-shared the video to Reddit where they praised him heavily for his efforts.
“Devoin is the best!! He treats that little girl like his own, I applaud his growth!” they captioned the post.
“I think this is very sweet,” a second agreed.
A third noted: “Devoin is not perfect but seeing stuff like this I give him so much credit, especially conspired to Louis who sucks so bad. I loved this scene too.”
“This is refreshing to see. I hope he keeps it up,” another agreed.
“People b***h about Devoin, but I think he’s made some real, positive growth. He treats Stella like the dad she deserves to have and seriously, f**k Louis.
“The three of them look so genuinely happy it makes me smile,” a fourth admitted.
“He’s def one of the better dads,” another claimed.
“I have such a soft spot for him,” a final remarked.
Though Briana, 27, and Devoin have not always had a perfect relationship, the MTV dad has always been present in his daughter’s life.
MISSING LUIS
Stella’s father, Luis, however, has been in and out, causing strain on his relationship with the four-year-old.
In last week’s episode, fans were left heartbroken as cameras showed Briana sobbing over her baby daddy’s absence.
DIFFICULT PHONE CALL
The scene showed the Florida native on the phone with her ex’s dad.
She tried to get through to Luis via his parents after he failed to show up to one of Stella’s hospital appointments.
Briana complained that he “doesn’t visit” Stella and “doesn’t call to see how she’s doing.”
The mom of two welled up as she said: “Hopefully Luis can get his s**t together and hopefully you guys could do the same.
“And if not, that’s fine, because I’ve been the best mom I can be, and if he doesn’t want to be in Stella’s life, he needs to let me know that.”
She continued with tears in her eyes: “I’m not gonna hate him, and we can take the necessary steps to remove him off the birth certificate… so that he’s not in my way of taking care of Stella.”

The upset mom concluded: “Right now, the first person that’s breaking Stella’s heart is her own dad.”
