To say that April has been tough for Matt and Amber is an understatement
It’s been quite a week for Teen Mom OG’s Amber Portwood and her fiancé Matt Baier. The couple has been controversial from the get-go thanks to their 20-year age gap, but as time has gone on it’s become clear that their age difference isn’t the only thing that sets Matt and Amber apart. While the other Teen Moms have their fair share of drama and mayhem, their scandals tend to focus on thoughtless Instagram posts or throwing shade at each other in interviews. This Amber and Matt thing? It’s a whole different breed.
Controversial Couple
Matt Baier quickly earned a reputation on Teen Mom OG and it’s far from a flattering one. I mean, it does make sense. I’m sorry, but Matt just doesn’t give off good vibes; There is something undeniably shady about him. And it's probably the fact that he’s a 40-something man who was seemingly obsessed with dating one (any) of the Teen Moms.
Online Dating?
As is now well-documented, Baier spent months trying to get the attention of the Teen Mom stars on Twitter—and not just that of Amber Portwood. Both Farrah and Jenelle have come forward and said that Matt was interacting with each of them on social media before finally moving on to (and succeeding in getting the attention of) Portwood.
The pair quickly became "serious" with Matt moving in with Amber upon their first in-person meeting and an engagement came soon after. That engagement was eventually broken when another interesting piece of Matt’s past came to light—or should I say… at least five pieces?
Gary Strikes!
In December of 2015—after about a year of dating Amber—news broke that Matt had multiple children from many different women and that Amber was unaware of that information for a significant part of their relationship. It’s unclear when Portwood herself found out, but the rest of us discovered it all when Portwood’s ex, Gary Shirley, let it slip on camera that, not only did he have the kids and ran away, but he was in some fairly serious legal trouble for it all.
Shortly after that reveal, we found out about another Baier child—from the kid’s mother, Kelly Nunn, and things just kept spiraling out from there.
Band Together
There was some time of relative quiet, at least with dramatic revelations about questionable pasts, but in the past week or so, Matt’s past looks to be catching up with him again.
Perhaps it’s due to the renewed spotlight on the couple now that a new season of OG is starting again or maybe it’s due to his MTV special or maybe even because his new book that's dropping soon (probably due in equal parts to all of those things, if I’m honest), but a bunch of girls are coming out to take down Matt Baier.
Making Moves, Getting Organized
Over the past week or so, a number of Baier Baby Mamas have apparently banded together on Twitter to destroy Matt once and for all. It’s unclear what that means exactly—in my opinion all the hoopla around whether or not the new claims of infidelity and secret children are legitimate is only making him more famous—but they seem to want to "expose" Matt as the liar and conman that they claim he is.
The semi-new allegation that Matt has been flirting with other girls throughout their relationship has now been further extended. Now, a girl on Twitter has come forward to say Matt he actually has been sleeping around while dating Amber and has a two-year-old child with one of the women he was cheating with.
Jade, Jade, Jade...
"Jade," told the Twitter-verse that she has both a birth certificate with Matt’s signature on it and a DNA test confirming Matt’s paternity of the child. So far, though, she has provided proof of neither outside of her initial claims and has since deleted not only the tweets, but her entire account.
The above screenshot was taken by a quick thinking Redditor and, at this point, it’s the only proof that we have that they existed at all.
#fallback
In fairness to the other baby mamas claiming that Matt’s done them wrong over the years, they haven’t really claimed Jade as one of their own. It’s also been said that this Jade used photos of someone else’s baby to make the claims, though, again, without the initial tweets it’s hard for us at TeenMomTalk to say either way.
All I know is that things are blowing up in the Baier/Portwood home and more will surely be coming down the line…
