ONE Teen Mom star made an unexpected return in the teaser clip for next week's episode after months off camera.
Briana DeJesus's ex and baby daddy Luis shocked his daughter when surprising her with a gift.
The Teen Mom 2 dad hasn't filmed with Stella, four, in months as his ex Briana, 27, has slammed him as an "absent father."
But he finally made his reappearance in the teaser clip for next week's episode.
The reality star arrived at Briana's Orlando home as she told her tiny tot: "Come look, your dad's here."
The scene then switched to Luis as he greeted Stella by saying: "Good morning."

However, the little girl looked less than pleased as she shyly covered her face with both of her hands in response.
The father of one stretched out his arm to offer his daughter a gift, and Briana encouraged her to "say hi" to her dad.
CO-PARENTING PROBLEMS
Luis has been in and out of Stella's life since 2017 as he pursues his career as a DJ.
Briana has ripped her ex as an "absent father" and even broken down in tears over his inattentiveness with their child.

DADDY DAUGHTER DATE
However, in January, she posted a rare and sweet photo of the two as they reunited on an outing.
The young father and his tiny tot were sitting outside in a garden under a patio umbrella.
Stella perched on her dad's lap and shared a smile with him.
The four-year-old girl had a band-aid on her cheek and wore a white T-shirt with butterflies on the front.
The Teen Mom 2 star captioned the post with a red heart emoji.
TROUBLED PAST
Briana has previously spoken about Luis' absence in her daughter's life.
Back in July 2021, Luis came over to her house to spend quality time with their daughter.
Before her dad had arrived, Stella started sobbing and ran away from her mother.
She then buried herself in their sofa in an attempt to hide.
Briana said in a confessional: “Luis is pretty much a stranger to Stella…
“Stella would not be acting like this if Luis came around more. I can't force her to do anything.
“But I thought it was a good idea that they could spend time with each other.”
She continued: ”I struggle with this daily… whether or not Luis should continue coming in and out or just stay away forever."
BABY DADDY DRAMA
In addition to Stella, Briana and her ex Devoin Austin share their 10-year-old daughter Nova.
During the Teen Mom Family Reunion therapy session, the MTV mom touched on Devoin's fear that Nova will grow up feeling "abandoned" by him.
Devoin quickly clapped back, alleging that Briana had been speaking ill of him to their child.
