Months after igniting (and proceeding to fuel) breakup rumors on social media, Cory Wharton has revealed that he and longtime girlfriend
The Teen Mom: The Next Chapter star shared the status of his relationship while answering fan questions recently on TikTok. During the Q&A, Cory was asked if he and Taylor have ever rewatched the 2017 season of
As fans of ‘Teen Mom’ know, Cory and Taylor are parents to daughters Mila, whom they welcomed in 2020, and Maya, who was born in 2022. (Cory also shares daughter Ryder with
Cory also insisted at the time that the problems in his relationship with Taylor were not caused by him cheating, as many fans had suspected.
While The Challenge star has been questioned for years by fans (and Taylor
Still, as those who watched Season 3 of Teen Mom Family Reunion will remember, Cory’s reluctance to propose to Taylor was a major issue in the couple’s relationship, with Taylor repeatedly telling her baby daddy that she wanted to marry him and that she was tired of making excuses to people about why he refused to make things official with her. At one point during the season, Taylor even admitted to Cory that she felt embarrassed to go to the grocery store with a cart-full of kids and no engagement ring.
Taylor also told In Touch Weekly
in March 2024 that she would only wait so long for Cory to pop the question, insisting that, “the clock is ticking” and that Cory has “had enough time.”
While Cory and Taylor have heavily hinted on social media for months that they are no longer together, neither officially confirmed the split. Cory revealed in September that he and Taylor were still living together and that they were “dealing with what we’re dealing with, outside of you guys.”
He went on to tell fans that he would “open up” about the status of his relationship “when the timing is right.”
The news of Cory and Taylor’s seemingly rekindled romance comes on the heels of the couple’s three-year-old daughter Maya undergoing a successful open-heart surgery called the Fontan. Taylor reported that the procedure had improved Maya’s oxygenation levels, as well as her overall coloring. (As
“ … we just finished the final surgery that we’ve been waiting for about four years since I was pregnant with her,” Taylor shared last month on Instagram. “This will be a forever health issue for her, but she should never need another open heart surgery again and if she does, she will probably be older than me now.”
Taylor was recently asked on social media if she wanted to have more kids in the future, and while the mom of two said she doesn’t think she’s “done” having children, she also admitted that she’s unsure if she wants to be pregnant again.
“ … I went through so much with Maya and it’s like, we just started getting past that whole thing– a little bit past it, ya know?” Taylor added. “So, like, eventually…maybe? But like, I just don’t have that urge to [have more kids], but I keep seeing little infants and babies and pregnant people and I’m like, ‘Aww!’ But, no.
Jennifer Lawrence is facing backlash after shading Lisa Barlow
‘s appearance during a recent podcast episode.
After seemingly poking fun at the 50-year-old Real Housewives of Salt Lake City cast member’s use of facial threads, which are inserted under the skin to lift and tighten sagginess, Jennifer, 35, was met with criticism from fans.
“Oh my God, Lisa Barlow … I won’t get threads. That’s good to know,” Jennifer stated on the November 5 episode of Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang.
Then, after one of the hosts said, “I think she looks good,” she sarcastically replied, “Okay.”
After the interview was shared on Reddit, a number of social media users weighed in.
“She’s so f*cking rude,” one person complained of Jennifer.
“There is so much to talk about regarding the disaster of Lisa Barlow — do we always have to go straight to women’s appearances?” another wondered.
A third said that while Lisa did look a bit “rough” on the show, they gave her credit for avoiding plastic surgery.
“In general, when the [housewives] try to age a little naturally, I think it’s ok to be supportive,” they noted.
Others said they “despise women tearing other women’s appearance” and “thought we were way beyond doing this type of crap.”
Still, others didn’t think that Jennifer’s comments were all that bad.
“I may get downvoted, but what she said was no worse than what some people on this sub have said about several housewives,” someone stated.
“This is also the franchise that gave us ‘you look inbred‘ and ‘high body count hair‘ so yeah I’m not scandalized,” another agreed.
