'Teen Mom 2' Leah Messer Is Dating Corey Simms' Best Friend! Is She Getting Back At Him For Dating Another Single Mom?

Corey may be dating single mom Amber Scaggs, but Leah has her eyes on a new man herself — his friend Tyler! It’s revenge!

Teen Mom 2 star Leah Messer, 19, has been soaking up the sun in Florida with her 17-month-old twin girls Aleeah and Aliannah as she faces a divorce from estranged husband and baby daddy, Corey Simms, 20. But a vacation isn’t the only thing that’s helping her cope — Leah’s snagged herself a new beau and he happens to be a close friend of Corey’s!In Touch reveals that Leah is dating Corey’s good friend Tyler (last name not yet revealed), after she hinted on Twitter, ”A new beginning is always a fine place to start, so that’s what I’m going to have to do,” then adding, “I’m starting to think some things fall apart so better things can fall in place together!(:”

“She’s trying to make Corey jealous,” a close friend tells In Touch. “She was calling Corey during her vacation, begging him to get back together. When he said no, she switched tactics and started bragging about her new guy Tyler and how he has a better truck than Corey!”

We find it hard to believe that Leah needs a tactic to get a man — she’s gorgeous, sweet and a wonderful mom.

But Corey seems to be fixated on another ‘wonderful mom,’ new girlfriend Amber Scaggs, 21, who has an 11-month-old daughter Bralyn.

“Corey didn’t care at all that Leah was dating Tyler,” the source adds. Wow, we didn’t think Corey could be so hurtful!

“You don’t know the whole story to this divorce stuff,” Leah Tweeted. “Please don’t assume because I didn’t want to file! Thank you!” So was it Corey who caused the divorce?

What do YOU think?

Tyler is dating Leah’s friend KAYLA, not Leah. Get your facts straight.

All of you all stfu this show was not based to make teen life look glamorous , it was intended to show the hardships that come along with being irresponsible & having un safe sex . Anyone who thinks otherwise has a small mind . As for leah and corey no one will really know what the truth is . There’s three sidees to every story his & hers and the truth -__-

Love the way you put that! Being a teen mom is HARD! You got to go through school, work, and raise your child(ren) by yourself cuz we all know odds are the baby-daddy is a lazy pice of SHhh!

dating hus best friend is just wrong and dumb.it makes her look stupid. they should have never gottne married. cory might be some what old fashion which is cut but leah is not . she is the girl you keep your man away from.

Ugggggh. Why are these kids even worrying about dating?! Isn’t that what started the trouble in the first place? Girl needs to go to school, get a job, get stable, and THEN entertain the idea of a boyfriend. And please stop putting up pieces about who has the “hottest body”, then questioning whether or not we are idolizing these mtv moms or glorifying their situations!

Dating his bestfriend is not revenge it makes her a slut…she is raising daughters what type of example is she setting for them. You mean to tell me she couldn’t find anyone else to date…that’s just plain wrong on both of them.

this magazine has the story wrong…tyler is her best friend, Kayla’s current boyfriend not leah’s! these magazines talk so much crap!

She can date whoever she wants! She is a single mom who would like to find love. I’ve been through what she is going through and i will be happily married to my son’s step-father in a few days!

she is going to put it all on him . she was the one running around behind his back . i don’t feel sorry for her .she wants to be i=o tv for getting knocked up. don’t care to see another show saying this is ok gilrs get knocked up and you get your own show. so when my girls grow up they can do the same.

These are children trying to live adult lives before their time. I don’t care if she’s pretty or sweet or whatever. I do care that she is a teenager making money off her pregnancy by exploiting it on tv. Quit following these kids around and let them focus on being parents. This article is pure fluff. They are teenagers doing what teenagers do… argue, fight, break up, get back together, repeat.
