At just 19, Tylar Fertuck is a mom of two—and she’s made it clear she’s done having kids.
The young mom from Saskatoon, Canada, recently took to TikTok to respond to a curious follower asking about her daughter’s age. Her candid reply: “I got pregnant with Tessa when I was 15. She was born when I was 16. Then I had TJ at 17. By the time I turned 18, I was done having kids.”
The now-viral 14-second video shows Tylar dancing and smiling while sharing her story. With over 1.7 million views, it’s sparked a heated debate.

Many users applauded her honesty and life choices. One commenter wrote, “You’re going to have an amazing time in your 30s!” Another chimed in, “I wish I had kids earlier. I love being a dad, but keeping up with them at my age is tough!”
But not everyone was supportive. Critics called her “too young,” and one user joked, “I’m 18 and haven’t even had my first kiss yet!”
Still, others came to her defense. “As long as you and the kids are happy, that’s all that matters,” one commenter declared.
Tylar often uses TikTok to share her experiences as a young mom, offering a glimpse into her life balancing parenthood and self-discovery. Addressing why she and her partner decided to have kids so young, she shared two heartfelt reasons.
“We wanted our kids to grow up close in age. Age didn’t matter to us—the moment Tessa was born, we were a family,” she explained. “And we were ready—mentally, physically, and financially.”
While Tylar is open about her life, her partner and children rarely appear in her videos. She’s firm on this boundary: “My partner doesn’t like being on camera, and I’d never force anyone to be in videos.”

Now, as her daughter Tessa turns four and her son TJ turns two, Tylar is focused on cherishing these precious years. For her, it’s not about fitting into societal expectations—it’s about creating a happy, loving family.
