Teen Mom: Amber’s Missing Ex-Fiance Gary Wyat Is On Tinder!
Diving into Amber Portwood’s relationship with Gary Wyat, the former couple reportedly “put in the work” despite their visibly rocky relationship. The Teen Mom pair had frequent fights, which ultimately led to Amber experiencing a manic episode. Amber and Gary also underwent therapy together. While many believed these challenges might strengthen their bond, their relationship took a dramatic turn when Gary went missing in North Carolina.
He allegedly stormed off Amber’s brother’s wedding after an explosive argument with Amber. Gary was listed as a missing person until he contacted authorities to confirm his safety, explaining that he went missing by choice. Following his disappearance, Amber called off the engagement. Insiders have claimed Amber is coping well since she is a “strong person.” However, Gary has since surfaced in unexpected ways.
Recent reports from a Teen Mom fan account, TeenMomFanz, reveal Gary’s active presence on the dating app Tinder as of July 8. His bio read that he’s recently moved into a new city and is looking for “some casual fun.” It also mentioned his 6’2 height and that he is a driver working through graduate school. His profile, verified with photos, showed him smiling in a white sleeveless top.
Well, it seems while Amber and Teen Mom fans were worrying for Gary after his disappearance, he had been busy mingling on Tinder. This revelation is likely to shock Amber, who moved to New Mexico after Gary went missing. While no one was aware of Gary’s single status, it was obvious after Amber had called off their engagement.
Teen Mom: Why Did Amber & Gary Split?
While insiders cheered on Amber’s decision to call off their engagement, she appears to be still upset. During an interview with reporter Elle Bee, Amber opened up about her interaction with Gary at her brother’s wedding. “It was emotional because it has something to do with the fact of his parents being Vietnamese, and me being who I am and stuff like that,” The Teen Mom star revealed. “It had nothing to do with us personally, OK? This is the only thing that happened. He was very upset about this, I was upset.”
According to US Weekly, Amber and Gary split after his parents looked Amber up on Google and found details about her past. “[The engagement news] created some family tension,” a source spilled. “Gary’s family was looking her up online and looking at her past and not everything they saw online was true. And it was hard for Amber because she’s been trying so hard to move past it and move forward.” Keep checking TV Season & Spoilers for all more updates on Teen Mom.
