After only recently introducing the public to her new man, Leah is already talking babies again.

Fans were shocked to meet her boyfriend because in February, Leah told Kailyn Lowry on her podcast, Coffee Convos, that she did not think she would find her “forever” in West Virginia. She was insistent that she was raising her daughters as a single mom for now.
However, as Leah’s daughters have gotten older, they have tried to help their mom find a new man. “The girls are naming off music artists trying to find me a boyfriend,” Leah shared on Twitter. But there was a slight problem. “Everyone they’ve mentioned is unavailable and Addie grumbles, ‘Darn, this is just horrible,’” Leah shared with a facepalming emoji.
We can only assume that her daughters wore her down. After months of speculation, fans met her new boyfriend. Leah posted an Instagram of her daughters watching fireworks in Florida over the 4th of July.

Instagram user @raylansdad416 commented, “the fireworks were incredible no doubt, but being with you was the most incredible part of my evening ;)” along with a kissing face emoji. His comment set off gossip as soon as it was posted, but Leah appeared to confirm a relationship when she replied to the mystery man with a string of emojis, including smiles and a kissing face.
The Ashley’s Reality Roundup broke the story that Leah’s new man is Jason Jordan of West Virginia. Evidently, they have been dating for several months, but Leah has kept the relationship quiet. A former basketball player, he studied psychology and sociology at West Virginia Wesleyan University.
A source told Us Weekly that Jason is a well-established professional in medical sales, who lives in a nearby West Virginia city. According to the source, “super thoughtful” Jordan “built their first date around things Leah likes to do.”

The source also shared that the couple met through his cousin, a friend of Leah’s. This is not the first time that Leah has found love through a mutual connection. She only had one friend in common with Jeremy before they met: her ex Corey!
Since the news broke about her new boyfriend, Leah has been nothing but positive on social media.
She shared a text post on Instagram reading, “You deserve a relationship that is based on connection, partnership and intimacy. Choose to be in a relationship with someone who is honest, 100% responsible for their life and committed to being the best person they can be, along with loving and adoring your mind, body and soul. Never settle for anything less.”
Many fans were shocked by the 13-year age gap between 26-year-old Leah and 39-year-old Jason. On reddit, user FrauEdwards called out his aged appearance as “a West Virginia 39.”

MrsTrustIssues added, “He’s 100 years old. Has she looked in a mirror?”
However, Us’s source said, “Even though he’s older, they have a lot in common. They share the same faith and have gone to church together. They love hiking…cooking.” The source called Jason “family-oriented” and “very attentive” and shared, “He will leave flowers for the girls and notes for Leah on her car.”
The couple can also bond over the difficulties of raising children after a divorce. Jason split from his wife in the fall. “Jason has a 2-year old and Leah has met him,” the source shared. “She hasn’t really dated since her breakup from Jeremy, so she was a little nervous to introduce him to the kids, but they absolutely love him.”
Though the couple only recently went public, the source tells Us, “It’s progressing forward…They’re just enjoying each other in the moment.”

Unfortunately, fans will not be seeing any more of her new beau anytime soon. A Teen Mom source has said that Leah “wants to keep this relationship more private,” so he will not be appearing on the show, though Season 9 is currently filming.
Even if he won’t be appearing on television, Jason has already brought drama off-screen. Radar Online found court documents from the United Bankruptcy Court Southern District of West Virginia showing Jason filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in 2002, owing over $40,000 in loans and credit card bills. At the time of filing, he was employed at Texas Steakhouse, but for only three weeks.
What could have caused his financial woes? A shocking YouTube series published under the name John Smith suggests that it might have been a drug problem!
In the since-deleted videos, a man now identified as Jason speaks to the camera about his drug addiction.

Using a filter that distorts his head and voice, Jason performed under the name “Meth Man.” In his debut, “Meth Man” complains, “Everybody says there’s something wrong with me. Like I got a big head and small chin…You do meth for 6 months and people think there’s something wrong with you.” He reassures viewers, “C’mon, everybody’s doing it. Everybody. I’m fine.”
Jason has claimed in deleted tweets that the videos were a parody. He cries in one video, “Bout to go score me some meth! Meth I love you. I shoot it in my veins. I snort it up my nose. I smoke it in a pipe. Meth, meth.” In another video, Jason, performing as his alter-ego, begs, “Get me some meth. I don’t care. I love meth!”
When the videos were posted to reddit, CriminalVixen wrote, “She’s really living her standard…”

Is she ready for Baby #4?

User humpagoat wrote, “I feel like people that are young sort of get a pass since they don’t always realize how crazy-weird they sound/look but this guy was grown when he made this video. I would be extra embarrassed if this was a video that my SO posted online…”
-i-downvoted-you- added, “There’s plenty of fish in the sea but Leah goes down to the crick and reels herself in a catfish.”
Uncovering the bizarre series from her new boyfriend has raised questions for viewers. After Monday’s episode of Teen Mom 2, user i-am-canadian-sorry posted, “Guys I’m wondering if Leah smokes meth? Last night Kail went to Leahs hotel room where Kail had asked if Leah was painting her nails because she could smell nail polish. Leah is kind of slow to respond but eventually says no she didn’t paint her nails… Leah looked off while she was standing there with glazed eyes while Kail was talking.”

The post continues:
"One thing that is said about smoking meth is it smells like acetone. Some rehabs actually tell people to look out for smells such as nail polish or acetone if you suspect someone is smoking meth. Could it be possible she’s using meth? There have been a couple episodes this season that make me question her sobriety. Again this is all speculation and I hope I’m not right, but Leah lives in an area with high meth usage and is dating a guy called Meth man. I’m wondering if it might be true."
The gossip about Leah and her new boyfriend goes further! On Crazy Days & Nights , Blind Item #10 begins, “I thought this MTV mom was finally getting her act together. Well, honestly she had been together for about the past year..."

The blind item finishes, “Now? Hey, when you start dating your former drug dealer, how do you think that is going to work out for all involved? He has also pimped out a few women over the years in his never ending quest to make money and not pay taxes.”
In response to the blind item, amberalertambs objected, “You know what if Leah is on drugs then I’ll have what she’s having. She’s still able to function and she’s looked amazing for a while now.”
CattyLibby responded, “She can function for her 5 minutes segments, but that’s all we see to judge on. And she doesn’t hold down a job or have primary custody of two of her children.”
Whether or not drugs are involved, many fans are not happy about how she has taken care of her daughters! They have questioned all of her decisions, big or small.

“Leah let the girlses get acrylic nailses,” shared user bippityboppityb*tch one day on reddit.
In Leah’s short Snapchat update, she shares that Gracie and Ali both got full acrylic nails with the caption, “I’m doomed.”
“I personally think this is way too young for those. They f*ck your real nails up for a long time and they’re expensive to maintain,” wrote user MommyOfOnee.
More seriously, one episode of Teen Mom 2 showed Leah taking Gracie to see a therapist. When fans online criticized Leah’s parenting, she fired back on Twitter: “You don’t know that it’s a struggle for her to accept that her sister has [muscular dystrophy] and she just wants her to be able to play with her and chase her back outside! You dont know that she wakes up every day feeling like she has to protect her from BULLIES at school!”

She carried on: “YOU DONT KNOW… that she holds so many feelings inside because she wants her best friend to be healthy and everything be okay!! YOU DONT KNOW that she has hid so much guilt, pain, and resentment in all this time because she’s a CHILD and just didn’t understand WHY. THERES SO MUCH MORE but I’m going to leave it here … YOU DONT KNOW HER STORY, but I KNOW …”
Some fans did not think Leah needed to defend herself for their visit to therapy, but they had other things to say to her.
“Gracie’s actions and thoughts are perfectly appropriate for a school-aged child in her situation, and I think it’s great that Leah encourages her to talk about her feelings and is there to support her,” wrote reddit user Guaco-Taco. “However, what could have been even better is if Leah didn’t broadcast the highlights from Gracie’s therapy session on national tv.”

User Chachibald pointed out, “Am I crazy, because I really don’t think Gracie’s behavior is that bad! Seems like normal sibling rivalry to me. Not saying that she shouldn’t have therapy to deal with these issues, but…is ALI getting any counseling? I mean, she’s a little kid, watching her own body deteriorate, and seeing her siblings leave her behind developmentally. That’s got to mess a kid up inside. :(“
Unfortunately for Leah, this isn’t the only heat she’s taken about the way she’s raising her daughters. After sharing an alarming picture, some fans believe Leah could have put her daughter’s life at risk.
When Ali was only a few months old, Leah noticed that her development was lagging behind and consulted doctors about her issues. After rounds of testing, she was diagnosed with Titin muscular dystrophy, a rare form of the condition that is usually only found in adults.

Since then, Leah and Ali have fought to overcome hurdles and challenges associated with the condition.
Ali has had to spend hours in doctor’s offices for appointments and additional testing. She sometimes has to stay overnight in the hospital. “She’s so over these tests,” Leah captioned a shot of Ali in the back seat on the way to the hospital in March. “Bless her heart, My baby is soooo tired.”
Leah later shared a picture of Ali settling in for the night, writing “Sleeppy baby.” Leah took to Twitter to share more hope about her daughter. “You’re a fighter and your strength is admirable!” she wrote. “You’re MY INSPIRATION, MY MOTIVATION, MY WORLD!”
Even though Leah has worked hard to get Ali proper treatment, her parenting decisions are not always popular. Leah frequently shares snaps of Gracie at her cheer tournaments, but when she shared a photo of Ali in uniform, some fans were outraged.

It appeared that Ali is on a special needs team as a flyer, meaning that she performs stunts in the air.
“The doctors have been saying for years that Ali shouldn’t be on her feet and doing strenuous activity…I’m glad that those [activities] give Ali a chance to feel normal and happy, but they’re going to destroy her muscles,” wrote reddit user Stabbymctits. “… this is just based on what Leah’s been told for YEARS.”
“Why is Ali a flyer?” asked kelseyxiv. “Good lord that’s like the most dangerous position for her to occupy with her disability…This is dumb.”
User spookyookydoo pointed out, “It doesn’t look like she’s very secure and that worries me…Leah needs to try making the helmet ‘cool’ and using her wheelchair ‘cool’ as much as she makes cheer ‘cool’…There are sports she can be in and be in her wheelchair…”

Some fans have defended Leah’s ability to raise her children, including handling Ali’s chronic illness. Reddit user keridactyl wrote, “Ali’s projected lifespan isn’t long and at some point she will be wheelchair-bound for life…It is a valid choice for Leah to cater to Ali’s wishes and let her be happy in the moment, even if it’s not the best choice medically or the choice that you would make.”
Her daughters appear to be really happy with their mother. In fact, they are hoping for more siblings! “[The girls] think they want a baby brother,” Leah shared in April. But she seems less keen on the idea. “Mommy thinks that school has exhausted them and they’re in la la land today. Being all kind of goofy today.”
Leah seemed to shoot the idea down pretty quickly, but it’s not the first time that she’s talked about the possibility of giving the girls a brother.

During an appearance on Coffee Convos, Leah spilled that she has thought about how much easier it would be to have a son.
“I just think girls are harder in general,” Leah said. “I see another mom with boys, and even as far as their hair, you’re like, I’m not waking up at 5 o’clock in the morning! … Comb it over! [No] braids or pigtails. And Gracie has to have four outfits out in the morning to choose from.” She added, “Girls are dramatic, too!” So it wouldn’t be surprising if Leah decides to hope for a boy if she ever finds herself pregnant again.
The girls are hoping for a baby brother and Leah seems to be thinking about another...Is Leah ready to have more kids?
Evidently not! During last week’s episode of Teen Mom 2, Leah seemed to rule out more children.

She tweeted, “I’m okay if I don’t have anymore kids, it’s not even a thought of mine! #justsaying” After three girls, did Jason’s young son finally wear her out? Maybe it’s for the best that the couple takes it slow! After all, rushing into things has not worked out for Leah in the past.
Although Leah does not plan on having more kids any time soon, her family is growing! Leah’s mother Dawn recently shared an image of a sonogram and tagged Leah in the post, leading to some confusion among fans. The mystery was cleared up when Dawn revealed that Leah’s sister Victoria is expecting! Victoria recently married Isaac, the father of her child.
