Hunter Johnson’s Journey On Unexpected Shocks Fans
Hunter Johnson has had an interesting journey on Unexpected. He is the youngest father who has ever been on the show. However, this does not sit right with fans. He was only 12 when he impregnated Bella Vaughn, who was 14 at the time. He is only a child himself and had to become a father at the age of 13. Hunter revealed on the show that his father told him that he had ruined his life. Hunter did not seem to be close with his dad and was living with his mom full-time. However, this does not seem to be the case.
His Father Gets Partial Custody, Can’t Stay With Bella
Hunter Johnson’s father has taken his mother to court and now has partial custody of Hunter. However, he also got the court to say that Hunter could not stay the night at Bella’s house. Casey received joint custody of Hunter in November.
“[Hunter’s mom] allowed the minor child to move in with his girlfriend who became pregnant soon after. Further, [Casey] believes that [Stacie] provides the minor child with marijuana and does not make the minor child go to school… [Stacie] is providing an unstable and unwholesome environment for the minor child.”
This is shocking, as fans had no idea Hunter’s dad wanted to be involved. However, it seems that Hunter lived with him up until 2024.

It seems as though Hunter’s dad now has temporary joint custody of him. However, he has also gotten it to the point where Hunter legally cannot stay the night at Bella’s house. Fans understand his father’s concerns. However, they are worried that Bella is having to do a lot on her own with their child. Regardless, fans do think Hunter should have more rules in place.
