Will Leah ever learn? Robbie...Corey...Jeremy...cheating has destroyed so many of her relationships. What is going to happen with her new boyfriend?
Even by Teen Mom standards, Leah Messer has had a complicated love life. With three children by two different ex-husbands, it might seem simple at first. However, it quickly becomes tangled up once all of the infidelity between them is revealed!
Leah recently confirmed that she is dating a new man and fans were initially excited to see her find love. However, there are new allegations that there is cheating in this romance too!
Leah began dating Jeremy Calvert, the father of her third child, Addie, in August of 2011. Earlier that summer, she finalized her divorce from her high school sweetheart and first husband, Corey Simms. Corey is the father of twins Aleeah Grace and Aliannah Hope.
Leah’s infidelity was a major issue in their marriage, but she didn’t let that hold her back from another commitment. She married Jeremy in April of 2012. Corey re-married in June 2013. His new wife, Miranda Patterson, has famously butted heads with Leah. Leah’s marriage to Jeremy quickly began to fall apart. He moved out in 2014, shortly before Leah went to rehab to treat her addition to prescription pain pills. The couple divorced in June of 2015.
After the divorce, Leah had several rumored hookups, including a long-term, on-and-off relationship with T.R. Dues. However, Leah has not introduced viewers to any new boyfriends… until now!
Though it is only now official, fans have been suspicious for months. “You make me wanna write a song,” Leah wrote on Twitter in February. Afterwards, fans immediately thought she was referring to a new love.
“Who is he who is he!?!” wrote Twitter user @jamieboston91.
@HopkinsShilo tweeted, “Who is this mystery man? ??”
@TraceyHtp chimed in, “Would love to see you with your happily ever after!”
However, Leah told Kailyn Lowry on her podcast, Coffee Convos, in February 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.
After Leah shut down gossip about a new man, fans turned back to an old one: Jeremy. Despite their insistence that things are done, Leah and Jeremy keep sparking rumors with their couple-y behavior. Even Dr. Drew noticed their flirty quips during the reunion.
Eventually, Dr. Drew flat out asked the formerly married couple, “Are you guys rekindling your relationship?” It was immediately apparent how embarrassed they were and they avoided answering the question.
“This is just how we are,” Leah said. “We don’t flirt. We just… talk.”
Jeremy added, “Me and Leah have a very healthy relationship.” But that wasn’t enough for Dr. Drew.
He revisited the topic, demanding, “I’ve asked you now multiple times: Do you harbor any feelings for each other? Is this relationship being rekindled?”
The couple’s silent response said it all. “I feel like we just get along!” Leah finally said defensively.
Jeremy groaned, “This is f–king awkward.” Jeremy and Leah never confirmed that they’re dating again, but they also refused to say that they weren’t. Either way, things did not work out.
This past week, the public was introduced to her new boyfriend. Fans spotted flirty comments on Leah’s Independence Day Instagram post.
On a photo of Leah’s daughters watching fireworks in Clearwater, Florida, 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. Leah replied to the mystery man with a string of emojis, including smiley faces 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 adds 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 that read, “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 have been 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.”
Leah recently 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?
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. Though Teen Mom 2 is currently filming Season nine, a source has said that Leah “wants to keep this relationship more private,” so he will not be appearing on the show.
Even if he won’t be appearing on television, Jason has already brought drama off-screen. Shocking cheating allegations about the new couple have already surfaced. This is sadly typical for Leah and her relationships.
First, it was revealed on an episode of Teen Mom 2 that Leah cheated on Corey shortly before their wedding with her ex, Robbie Kidd.
The reunion episode with Dr. Drew later confirmed that she cheated during her bachelorette party. After Leah’s confession, Corey responded, "I just don't know if I can get past cheating this time. The past three years I've been hurt more than I have in my whole life."
Leah, crying, told Corey, "You deserve someone that's gonna appreciate everything you do."
"That's why it's so hard, because I want it to be you," Corey cried. "But you won't do it." The couple filed for divorce shortly after the shocking confession.
The troubles continued into her next marriage. After her marriage to Jeremy and Corey’s marriage to Miranda, the couple reunited in Corey’s work truck and betrayed their respective spouses. Though it was only a rumor for months, it was confirmed on the reunion that season with Dr. Drew.
Corey said on the matter, "Things happened that shouldn't have happened and it was disrespectful to Miranda and I have apologized. That's the only time that I disrespected her."
However, that was not the end of her troubles with Jeremy. In a Twitter rant against Leah, Jeremy told fans he had caught her with her ex-boyfriend, Robbie, the same man she cheated on Corey with, in October 2014. One month later, Jeremy filed for divorce, and in June of this year, as Leah was in treatment, their divorce was finalized.
Robbie later publicly confirmed that to In Touch that he and Leah had sex as her marriage to Jeremy was falling apart. After weeks of secret phone chats, “I asked her if she wanted to come over and talk,” Robbie recalls to the magazine. “Leah didn’t hesitate. She came right over, and one thing led to another and we had sex. We wore protection.”
“That was the one and only time. Leah felt really alone because Jeremy’s gone a lot for work,” Robbie said. “She said Jeremy doesn’t care about her or their family when he’s gone. All he wants to do is talk about sex.” “We’ll always have a connection, but I’m tired of the drama,” he said. “I’m finally happy with where I’m at in my life. I don’t want anything to do with her anymore.”
Robbie moved on and supposedly, so did Jeremy. He became engaged to Brooke Wehr. However, the couple had tumultuous relationship filled with break ups and social media rants. At one point last spring, Leah posted a photo of her out on the town with Jeremy. As Teen Mom Talk Now previously reported, Jeremy’s ex-fiancée, Brooke, was not at all happy to see it. She took the opportunity to put Jeremy on blast for cheating on her with her best friend.
Jeremy responded on The Ashley’s Reality Roundup, saying that he did indeed hookup with Brooke’s friend, but he was single at the time. He said that they were split up and he never even thought that he would ever get back together with Brooke.
“We did it one time and it was over. Afterward, Brooke and I got back together and it was kind of awkward, so [Brooke’s friend] and I kept our mouths shut,” said Jeremy. After their breakup, Brooke was furious; she even accused him of sleeping with a Teen Mom producer. Jeremy has since said that it was all a lie. However, the two still could not make things work and their split was eventually permanent.
More recently, Jeremy found love again. He started dating a new girl, Desi Kibler, this spring and in the beginning, things looked great.
“Road trips with babe…… #sohappy #grateful #shesamazing,” Jeremy captioned a picture of him and his new girlfriend, making their relationship Instagram official. The two quickly became flirtatious across social media. In fact, they even hinted at getting married!
After only a few weeks together, Desi tweeted, “Hate leaving Jeremy, makes me appreciate him even more every time I’m with him #timetostartplanning” and added emojis of a wedding ring, a house, and a family!
Jeremy even stayed by Desi’s side as she was arrested for drinking and driving! According to Radar Online, she was arrested for operating under the influence of alcohol on April 12. She was then charged with one count of OVI with blood alcohol concentration of .163, over twice the legal limit! She was also charged with possession of a controlled substance when police found an orange and white capsule pill on her.
Desi was arrested, booked, and released…. And then arrested again in the same night! At 3:17 a.m., she was allegedly stopped and charged with another DUI, as well as driving under DUI suspension! Jeremy quickly came to her aid, paying a $500 bond for the first DUI charge and $3,500 for the possession of drugs charge.
Though Jeremy supported her through the arrest, by June there was trouble in paradise for the new lovebirds. Fans were quick to notice that Jeremy deleted all pictures of Desi from his Instagram… and then deleted his Instagram entirely!
“I have a type,” Desi tweeted at the time of the breakup. “Faithful and trustworthy.” She added, “If you’re going to act single, then be single.”
Even though Desi may have been shocked by Jeremy’s behavior, fans were not. Leah has been known to interfere in happy relationships in the past and this time may have been the same!
After all, Leah and Jeremy finally let it slip that they were hooking up during filming of the most recent season. In a recent episode, she tells a friend, “I mean, he has tried to…me to have sex with him a couple times. And it happened once and it happened a few months ago. We went to his house and I had to like hide walking out to the car the next morning so his mother didn’t see me.”
And evidently Leah’s new man, Jason, has been as busy as she has. An anonymous source online shared: “My really good friend and he dated for over a year and broke up at the end of May. It’s heart breaking to see how fast he has moved on and that they have been together for over three months. Shows he was apparently cheating on my friend. Seeing him hold Leahs hand all over news media breaks my heart…”
Based on her history, many fans found it easy to believe that Leah became involved with a taken man. Jason’s wife filed for divorce in October, so maybe Leah has found a kindred soul. If this anonymous source is correct, Jason started dating her friend last May, during his marriage to the mother of his child.
Reddit user ghsted wrote, “Leah is a known cheater so I doubt she cares about dating someone with a SO.”
Tori_007 rebutted, “Yeah but this isn't even coming from the ex, this is coming from a no one. We have no idea if she knew or not and if she didn't then people need to be calling him out not her.”
Lakenessmonster agreed, “This girl could be making this up completely. She’s an internet random.”
Ajs1004 pointed out, “Here we go with the drama. This is why Leah kept her relationship a secret.”
Even if the accusations of infidelity are false, Leah’s new man has raised red flags for other reasons. Miss_chanandlerbong_ said, “I’m more interested in the fact that he’s in medical sales. Bet it’s pharmaceuticals.”
Given Leah’s history with prescription drugs, the interest is understandable. Her struggles with pills came to a head onscreen in one of Teen Mom 2’s most shocking moments. As millions of viewers watched in horror, Leah began dozing off in the middle of a conversation while holding her infant niece.
It was clear that something very serious was wrong with Leah, and not too long after, she checked into a treatment center. Leah was very clear in public that her 2015 inpatient stay was to help treat her depression and anxiety, but there were rumors that she was actually getting help for a drug addiction.
Although these conditions are often linked with insomnia, fatigue, and cognitive difficulty, many fans believe that Leah’s symptoms could be explained by something else: an addiction to prescription pills. She admitted to using Hydrocodone and Percocet after Addie’s birth in 2013.
There is another reason why Leah’s relationship with Jason is concerning given her history with drugs. Her new boyfriend has a series of YouTube videos chronicling the adventures of “West Virginia Meth Man.” He films himself using a filter to distort his head and voice, while mocking meth use.
The most recent video was posted two years ago. They are currently listed under “John Smith,” but it did not take Teen Mom fans long to uncover the true identity of “Meth Man.”
reddit user CriminalVixen wrote, “She’s really living her standard…”
-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.”
