She first gained attention as the wife of Gary, a well-known figure from the 16 and Pregnant series. Over time, Gary’s partner also stepped into the spotlight, making appearances on the popular MTV reality show that followed their lives. Before all the fame and public interest, her relationship with Gary was quietly confirmed in December 2013 through a heartfelt Facebook post that marked the beginning of their journey together. Prior to meeting Gary, she had been married to Gregory Anderson, with whom she shares a daughter; the couple eventually divorced in April 2014. In April 2015, she and Gary welcomed a baby girl named Emilee, deepening their family bond and bringing them further into the public eye. Through it all, Gary has remained a central figure in her story, shaping both her personal life and her rise to recognition.
So, even though things were already getting serious between her and Gary back in 2013, she was technically still married to her ex at the time. I mean, it’s a bit complicated, right? But yeah, when she and Gary first started dating, she hadn’t finalized the divorce yet, so legally, she was still tied to her ex. It’s kind of surprising, but people go through different journeys, and she was navigating hers while beginning something new with Gary. Still, it’s interesting to think about how she was in that transition phase—emotionally moving forward with Gary, yet officially still married to her ex.
