Gary Shirley and Amber Portwood became famous on Teen Mom for their constant bickering, but now Gary has taken his betrayal one step too far — he started hooking up with baby Leah Shirley‘s babysitter — behind Amber’s back!

Gary started hanging out with Kelsi Bowden, who has a son the same age as Leah, in May when he asked her to babysit.

“While Kelsi was at home looking after Leah, Gary was running wild with his ‘Twitter girls,’” a source told OK! magazine. But babysitting soon turned to flirting when the wannabe-player started making the moves on Kelsi.

“Since Gary and Kelsi were seeing each other so much, one thing led to another and they hooked up,” the source added.

Eventually, Gary started to develop real feelings for Kelsi — and has even started to do more romantic gestures, including, “cooking her dinner, buying her flowers, and even writing her love songs,” the source added.

The problem? Amber has no idea — yet. But Amber’s brother Shawn is furious, and bound to tell his sister what’s going on.

“It’s way too soon to be in a serious relationship with someone and have Leah call her ‘Mommy,’” he told the magazine.

Ouch!

Gary Shirley, who has full custody of daughter Leah, 3, gave his thoughts on ex-girlfriend Amber Portwood‘s special MTV interview Amber Behind Bars in an online video confession. The 25-year-old single father explained why he’s so hesitant to visit his baby’s mother while she serves a 5-year prison sentence.

“I haven’t visited Amber in jail yet, I had to figure out if it was a great idea to take Leah in there to visit mommy,” he confessed.

But after talking to Dr. Drew Pinksy, who told the single dad that it’s “really important that kids see their mommy and know they’re there,” Gary promises he’ll be taking Leah to see Amber as soon as possible.

Right now, he still tries to avoid the topic as much as possible — even though Amber has been locked up for four months.

“Whenever Leah asks me where her mother is, I kind of tend to tell her she’s at home or she’s on vacation, or at work just to keep the questions from accumulating and make it easy on her,” he admitted. “As she gets older if more questions come, then I’ll have to break it to her.”

Despite keeping the news of Amber’s wherabouts from his daughter, Gary supports his baby mama’s decision to go to prison 100 percent and believes it’s the only place she can get the help she truly needs.

“She’s a great person, she’s a good girl,” he said about his on-again off-again girlfriend. “She made a mistake and she’s paying the price.”

Check out his video below.

It’s clear that Gary still has a lot of love for Amber, which is what she needs right now. What do YOU think of Gary’s video HollyMoms?

Troubled Teen Mom star Amber Portwood has been in jail since June 14, but she and her baby daddy Gary Shirley still haven’t told their three-year-old daughter Leah Shirley the truth about where mommy is — in fact, they’ve reportedly told her she’s in Hollywood making a movie!

“Amber and Gary are going with the idea that she is away shooting a film in California,” a source told RadarOnline.com. “They don’t want to tell Leah that she’s actually in prison, because they’re not sure she would understand and don’t want her thinking worse of her mom.”

There’s just a slight problem with their cover story — Amber has been almost as famous for her legal troubles as she has for her reality TV show, so everyone knows where the 22-year-old really is. Including the workers at Leah’s daycare.

“It’s only a matter a time before Leah overhears it, and that has got Amber and Gary in a panic that she will find out what’s going on before they tell her,” the source said.

Amber revealed to Dr. Drew Pinksy during an interview from jail, which airs tonight on MTV, that Leah hasn’t come to visit her yet, and it’s Gary’s fault for not filling out the paperwork.

“She doesn’t understand that I’m in jail,” Amber told to Dr. Drew. “I don’t know what to say — what do you say to a 3-year-old?”

Watch the clip below, and be sure to tune in to MTV tonight at 10/9c to watch the Amber Portwood Behind Bars special.

If you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen — at least, that was Gary Shirley‘s message to Farrah Abraham on Oct. 4 when he slammed her culinary skills and dreams of opening a restaurant.

“Fact: I absolutely love to cook. I’m very good at it. Get it from my mama obviously. I will own my own restaurant soon,” Gary, 25, tweeted. He then followed up with a diss at his Teen Mom costar, seemingly out of nowhere.

“Good part is I have my own recipes and I don’t need school to tell me how to cook,” he added. Ouch!

The final season of Teen Mom followed Farrah during her studies at culinary school in Florida, and the 21-year-old has been open about her dreams of opening her own restaurant one day.

“It’s not just going to be a restaurant, it’s going to be like there’s a restaurant, there’s cooking classes, there’s a cafe,” she said during the Teen Mom Farewell Special that aired on MTV on Oct. 3. about the future business she wants to open.

This isn’t the first time the reality stars have battled it out on social media. “What a pig! You’re horrible; go get mental help for Amber’s sake P.O.S. Farrah tweeted during the Aug. 29 Teen Mom finale on MTV.

“Go make another hit single or treat your parents like sh**. Always stuck up for you — not anymore,” he fired back.

Looks like there’s still some unresolved issues between the costars!

3. Is Gary Shirley Letting 3-Year-Old Daughter Leah Drive?

Poor baby Leah! The three-year-old hasn’t seen her mom, Amber Portwood, since she was sentenced five years behind bars in June 2012 for violating probation. And recently in an emotional interview with Dr. Drew Pinksy — from prison — the Teen Mom star revealed that her baby daddy, Gary Shirley, won’t let her daughter visit her! While Gary may think he’s doing the right, experts tell HollywoodLife.com this can be very damaging for little Leah.

“These are the years where the bonding takes place; where she integrates her mother as an object of permanence and as a role model,” Dr. Jeff Gardere, chief contributor to HealthGuru.com tells HollywoodLife.com. “It it is important for a mother and child to have a relationship. Today, bringing children into jail for visitation is not as damaging as it once was. They have certain areas designated for child visitation.”

And another expert agrees, adding that Leah’s potential anger or sadness will eventually come out either now — or when she’s older.

“The truth is that if a parent protects their child from the truth, they are only prolonging whatever reaction they predict will be there and in fact make it larger. The longer this little girl is ‘protected’ from the truth of who and where her mother is, the larger a deal will be when she finally finds out. And she will eventually find out because it’s the truth of her life and eventually the truth shows itself no matter what,” top parenting expert Dr. Phil Dembo tells HollywoodLife.com. “If Gary wants to help the development of his daughter, he would ease her into visits with her mother, keeping the story as neutral as possible and the visits and contact as ritualized as possible.”

Amber broke down in tears during her interview with Dr. Drew and revealed that she feels neglected by her family.

“I’ve sent papers to Gary to sign twice so  he could bring Leah to see me, but he hasn’t done that. It makes me feel like I don’t even matter; I never mattered,” she told Dr. Drew.

Dr. Jeff Gardere says that Amber should seriously consider reaching out to legal authorities about this.

“She needs to take legal action. I don’t know the exact custody agreement but she needs to speak with the father civilly and appeal to human decency and their personal relationship. They need to consider the mental health of Leah,” tells HollywoodLife.com.

Amber is  locked up in Indiana’s Rockville Correctional Facility  for up to five years.

Amber Portwood sure knows how to impress a guy! In this sneak peek video from tonight’s Teen Mom series finale, Amber goes on a date with her new “boy toy” Mike, and she talks up all of her best qualities — beginning with her felony charges for domestic battery! (You can literally see the guy choke on his dinner. Run, Mike, run!)

Then comes the big twist: Much to the displeasure of the restaurant’s patrons — and my eyes — Amber and her new guy start going at it right there at the table. (I hope dinner comes with a barf bag.)

Meanwhile, Gary Shirley laments Amber’s new relationship with his mom, who shows up to lend a helping hand with baby Leah.

Is this really how Teen Mom is going to end? With Amber and Gary at odds? They’re like the freakin’ Ross and Rachel of this show, so if there’s any justice in the world, they’ll reunite before the final credits roll.

Jenelle Evans and Gary Head have had more than a tumultuous relationship. They’ve had a very violent one too.

Jenelle hosted a live chat on Stickam today, May 4, for fans where she opened up about the rumors of Gary hitting her.

“Yes, he did [hit me],” Jenelle told fans on May 4. “He didn’t punch me, he slapped me and put me on the bed and his palm hit my jaw and it left a bruise. It wasn’t a punch though.”

Jenelle, who admitted to being on muscle relaxers and pain killers during this live video chat, said Gary was actually going to keep her company for the night because her roommate Allison was going out of town. Jenelle just had breast implants and is still recovering from the surgery.

“Gary has offered to come here and take care of me,” Jenelle said.

And then when a fan asked if the two will get back together, Jenelle coyly answered “maybe, maybe not.”

Jenelle, after hearing what Gary did to you, you really should just stay away from him all together!
