Amber Portwood’s drama involving her ex, Gary Wayt, continues. Last month, Amber and Gary were attending her brother’s wedding in North Carolina. However, things quickly got heated. The Teen Mom couple had an argument, leading to Gary storming off the wedding without his phone. After no signs of Gary, Amber reported him as a missing person. However, he later informed the police that he was safe and went missing voluntarily.
Amber and Gary have not spoken since. She then called off their engagement and “took off the ring.” Gary was later found on a dating site, Tinder, shortly after the announcement. He was actively looking for “some casual fun” after moving into a new city. Amber has not addressed this publicly. Instead, she seems to be focusing on her health following their split. On Sunday, July 28, Amber shared a major weight loss update with fans on Snapchat.
The Teen Mom star posted a selfie with the caption, “26 lbs down,” along with emojis of praying hands, meditation, and a pink flower.

This transformation comes only a few weeks after ending her relationship with Gary.
