‘I Love a Mama’s Boy’ Season 4 Cast: Meet the New Mothers and Sons Ahead of the Premiere on TLC

Matt and Kelly

Fans first met Matt McAdams and his mom, Kelly McAdams, on season 1 of I Love a Mama’s Boy in 2020. At the time, Matt was dating Kimberly Cobb, and his mother frequently inserted herself into the relationship. Matt and Kimberly got engaged but broke things off by the end of season 2. He later dated Brittany Taylor and Devon Hawley, but the relationships didn’t last.

Matt is single again in season 4, and Kelly is determined to help her son find a new woman. However, her approach to his dating life might raise some red flags. Matt teased to Access Hollywood on September 14, 2024, that Kelly even went on a few first dates with him.

“People are going to have to see the episode when it comes out and see how all that really came to be. So, it’s gonna be exciting,” he said.

When asked what kind of woman Kelly wanted her son to date, she told the outlet, “A girl that does not want to fight with me. I don’t want any competition.”

In a sneak peek at the new season shared by Us Weekly, Matt said in a confessional, “I think that deep down, my mom does want me to find the girl.” Meanwhile, Kelly teased that she was going to be different this time when it comes to her son’s love life.

“I’m determined to approach Matt’s love life differently,” she said. “From now on, it’s going to be the kinder, gentler, more forgiving Kelly.”

Shahid, Dia and Nylah

Shahid and his mother, Dia, have an extremely close relationship. They wear matching outfits and share finances, and Dia does everything for her son — even brushing his teeth. Shahid’s fiancée, Nylah, is suspicious of Dia’s intentions when it comes to money. She also refuses to let her man’s mother get in the way of their romance.

Joshua, Tina and Janelle

Josh and Janelle have been married for more than a decade. However, Josh has never lived apart from his mom, Tina. When he and Janelle buy a new home in Florida, Tina accuses his son’s wife of forcing him to choose between them.

Austin, Kristopher and Shirlene

Austin and his partner, Kristopher, have already broken up once because of Austin’s mom, Shirlene. However, the couple shares a home and hopes to rekindle their romance. Shirlene will do anything she can to keep them apart, as she thinks Kristopher is “toxic.”

Chase, Lori and Natasha

Chase and his mom, Lori, are so close that they’re often mistaken as a couple. This doesn’t sit well with Chase’s fiancée, Natasha, who says she is on the verge of losing her mind due to Lori’s behavior.
