My Mom, Your Dad, a new series on HBO Max, is best described as a cross between The Circle and The Bachelorette, with a pinch of Love Island thrown in for good measure.
Single parents who have already been married once or twice each hunt for love in this eight-part dating series. These celebrities are living together at the Second Chance Retreat after being nominated by their college-aged children for a reality TV show.
As they begin to feel at ease in their new surroundings, they have no idea that their offspring are also cohabitating in the same house, and are keeping tabs on their every move via a group of televisions.
Kids can (virtually) interrupt dates if they observe their parents making the same mistakes they did in the past. Even while the young adults were very influential, they were keeping it a secret from their parents, there was one instantaneous spark that could not be ignored.
Karen Larrea, mother of Breana Symone Sturgis, became close with Troy Petrick almost immediately after the retreat began (son Noah Petrick). Although the two looked into other opportunities throughout filming, they were unable to remain apart for long.
So, it was a huge bummer when Karen had to leave the retreat so soon into the sixth season. Her departure came early, forcing her daughter to go as well. It didn’t take long for Troy and Noah to catch up.
Distractify was given an exclusive interview with the mother-daughter duo to find out more about their experience on the show and their decision to leave so soon. Karen also disclosed whether or not she planned to tell Troy about their connection.

Karen Larrea left the Show “My Mom, Your Dad” Early, but Why? There was a “Family Emergency,” She said.
While Karen and Troy were chilling outside the retreat house, a producer from the dating programme “My Rock Says Caution” called. The producer pulled Karen aside for a confidential discussion and introduced Karl to break some “a bit awful” news.
Karl Risinger is credited as the show’s Health & Safety Supervisor.
Not long into the conversation, a wall of words filled the screen.
Karen has just received some private information, and we are giving her space to process it.
Karen’s “Oh, wow” could be heard on the air when the words appeared. “OK.”
Pack up, Karl instructed. Put yourself together, they said.
Before Karen re-entered the retreat, the first producer profusely apologised.
After their private conversation, the divorced mother of two expressed her sadness at having to depart. In a confessional and a letter to Troy, she cited “personal concerns” as the reason for her departure, but she did not provide any further details.
Karen gave Distractify an in-depth description of their departure and discussed why it was so distressing to rewatch. this season’s HBO Max shows.
Karen explained, “We had a family issue and we had to leave.” “In the show, I cried because I had to relive that moment. I wept for the two female characters on the screen… Those feelings, they were so perplexing at the time.”
“At first, my thought was, “I have to get to my daughter.” Suddenly, I have to abandon my newfound relatives and the bond I’ve been building with them. While filming, my mind and heart were racing, and thinking about it now makes me emotional “the mother of two children remarked. I felt like I was right back where I was.”
While Karen’s immediate concern was for her kid, she also thought about the impact her departure would have on her relationship with Troy.
She described the situation as “very challenging” because “we were getting really close.” “It’s like someone was taken away from me, and I had to put my daughter and my family first again,” she said.
Breana felt the effects of the leaving as well, as she had formed close friendships with the other youngsters on the show.
“We just Created a very Great Bond”
The mind behind the World Peace phone charm line said. “Having parents that split up brought us together. As kids, we all went through the process of having parents divorce and adjusting to life in multiple homes. That bonded us intensely. It was quite tough to leave them, but we maintain regular touch. I’m glad we’re all still a part of each other’s life.”
When Karen and Breana left, Troy quickly followed suit because he was solely interested in pursuing Karen at the time.
“It’s no secret that Karen and I had a connection,” Troy told the other single parents at the retreat house. Because of her absence, I see little use in remaining here.
Is Karen still Dating Troy after Filming ‘My Mom, Your Dad’?
Even though there were plenty other interesting couples remained in the house after Karen and Troy left, viewers were curious about what became of them after their first time on the show.
A month after principal photography ended, Troy and Karen sat together in front of the cameras to talk about what occurred next. It seemed like they’d never been apart, and they both felt ready to take the next step in their relationship as a couple.
Before specifying that it would be a “committed relationship,” Troy declared, “I’m ready to be in a relationship with you.”
Karen said, “That is something I would adore.”
