'Teen Mom’ Star Leah Messer Has Strong Words For Her 14-Year-Old Daughter's BF: "I'd Like To See..."
Teen Mom star Leah Messer encountered a sensitive situation involving her daughter Aleeah Grace, who is 14 years old. Her daughter revealed she had a new boyfriend and when Messer digested the news, she shared an honest warning with Grace in a candid conversation. She wanted her to avoid the tough path Messer had gone down as a young mom.
The revelation came as Messer casually asked Grace about her friends and their relationship statuses. "I got a little boyfriend myself," Grace casually mentioned. It caught her mother off guard and Messer's immediate reaction was one of concern. "I'd like to see your path in life look different than mine," Messer advised Grace by reflecting on her own experiences as a teenage parent. Messer, who has three daughters, has been open about the challenges she faced as a young mother. Grace did not share any further details about her new boyfriend during the conversation. It left Messer more concerned about the potential implications. Messer's own journey as a Teen Mom has been all well documented. She has twins, Aliannah Hope and Grace, who were born in 2009. Their father is Leah's first husband, Corey Simms. Messer also has a younger daughter, Adalynn Faith, born in 2013, whose father is Messer's second husband, Jeremy Calvert, as per TV Show Ace.
Messer's oldest daughter Hope has had her own tough journey. Titin muscular dystrophy, an uncommon kind of muscular dystrophy, was found to be her medical condition. This genetic condition has caused her muscles to get weaker over time and makes it harder for her to move around. Because of this, she needs to use a wheelchair when she has to travel longer distances. Hope remains an active and spirited child despite these obstacles. She is one of the strong support systems from her family.

Messer discussed the difficulties of navigating her relationships with her daughters in a recent interview, particularly during this season of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter. She acknowledged that "this has probably been one of the most difficult seasons" for her as she worked on rebuilding a relationship with her father and figuring out how to allow him to build relationships with her daughters. She added, "Watching it at the end, I know it was all worth it, but it was very hard to navigate."
Messer's focus on open communication with her daughters has been a priority. "I think this season, you also see all the talks I've had with my daughters over the years coming together, in a sense, and we see what they believe in and how they use their voices," she said, as per People. Messer believes that these "hard, maybe sometimes cringy conversations" have opened the door for her daughters to have any conversation with her. She considers it very important during their teenage years.
