Teen Mom: The Next Chapter Star Leah Messer recently split from ex-fiancé Jaylan Mobley, and although the former couple didn’t explain why, sources claimed their engagement ended over Jaylan’s alleged infidelity. Leah, who was cast on MTV’s 16 And Pregnant before joining the cast of Teen Mom 2, has three daughters: Aliannah “Ali” and Aleeah with ex-husband Corey Simms, and Adalynn “Addie” with ex-husband Jeremy Calvert. Leah and Jaylan, a 26-year-old Army officer and Ph.D. Student, met in 2020 and went public with their relationship in September 2021. Following their Instagram announcement, things moved quickly for the pair; Leah and Jaylan bought a house in April and got engaged in August.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY
Leah and Jaylan were set to begin renovations on their new home after Teen Mom: The Next Chapter premiered in early September and attended Cheyenne Floyd and Zach Davis’ wedding on Sept. 29. When the former couple unexpectedly announced they had split on October 10, some were left confused. Some Teen Mom fans predicted that Leah and Jaylan broke up due to infidelity. According to The US Sun, they may be right. A source said that “Leah has seen material suggesting he has been unfaithful,” to which a representative for Jaylan replied, “Jaylan has no further comment beyond the joint statement made last week.”
Teen Mom’s Leah Messer Responds to Jaylan Mobley Cheating Rumors
While Jaylan was quick to delete all mentions of Leah from social media after their joint Instagram post, Leah indicated that her breakup with Jaylan was relatively cordial, though she got drunk over the breakup during an Instagram Live with co-star Briana DeJesus complained. Though Leah neither confirms nor denies rumors of Jaylan’s alleged infidelity on Twitter, she wrote that their relationship is “solid” and that they are “refocusing and moving on to better days ahead.” Whether Leah and Jaylan plan on remaining friends for the sake of Leah’s kids or are waiting to discuss their breakup in future episodes of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter, the duo have already deleted their Instagram announcement from their profiles, raising even more questions.
Leah and Jaylan’s dramatic end to their year-long relationship and their brief two-month engagement is hardly the worst scandal to rock the Teen Mom franchise, as Leah’s divorce from her first husband, Corey, stemmed from her being unfaithful just before their wedding. Still, Teen Mom fans, who’ve followed Leah’s journey for years, have expressed concern that her relationship with Jaylan would end in a months-end failure. Many people believed the couple was moving too quickly and were concerned about how that would affect Leah’s daughters, while others thought Leah and Jaylan weren’t as compatible as they first appeared.
Although it’s possible that Leah and Jaylan will rekindle their romance in the future, Jaylan was previously spotted moving out of her home with boxes on October 14. In fact, the two-story West Virginia home is under as much scrutiny as Leah and Jaylan’s now-former relationship. While Jaylan previously wrote that he surprised Leah with the property in April, a recent episode of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter suggested that Leah was actually the one who paid for it. Regardless of whether Jaylan’s allegations of cheating are true or false, it seems clear that Leah and her ex-fiancé have no intention of addressing the rumors any time soon.
Teen Mom: The Next Chapter airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. EDT on MTV.
