‘Teen Mom’ Star Amber Portwood Speaks Out As Fiancé Gary Wayt Is Still Missing: ‘We Are Very Scared Right Now’
Reality TV star Amber Portwood is asking for prayers as the search for her missing fiancé continues.
The 16 & Pregnant alum expressed deep concern over the matter during a recent interview, insisting that nothing violent led up to her partner Gary Wayt’s mysterious disappearance.
According to reports, Amber Portwood, 34, confirmed Gary Wayt, 39, was reported missing in a video posted to YouTube Wednesday (June 12th). She stated during the live stream:
“This is a huge deal, his parents, everybody is very worried. I am worried…There was not a big blowout fight or anything like that, OK. He is a missing person right now.”
She continued:
“We are in the mountains…He has never driven in the mountains. We are very scared right now.”
The TV personality explained that Wayt allegedly left their North Carolina home without his phone this past Sunday (June 9th), and was later seen alone at a Walgreens, though he hasn’t been seen since. Portwood said she’s even more concerned due to the remote location of the property, as it can be extremely difficult to navigate without GPS, which Wayt doesn’t have access to because he didn’t have his phone, nor GPS in his car, according to Portwood.
Becoming emotional over the matter, Portwood continued to deny speculations that her temper prompted Wayt to leave the residence in the first place. In case you’re unfamiliar, the Teen Mom OG star was accused of attacking her ex-boyfriend Andrew Glennon with a machete back in the day during a heated argument. However, Portwood insisted that she’s a changed person and that nothing violent has ever gone down between her and Wyat, stating:
“I am not what people have been saying about me all of these years…I changed a long time ago…We have not had explosive fights. We are very in love, this man asked me to be with him, this man then asked me to marry him…I have not touched this man in any horrible way. He does not touch me in any horrible way. We do not yell at each other … Please understand this, people change.”
Sources close to the couple reportedly claimed just a few weeks ago that Wayt and Portwood were happy in love after meeting on a dating app last year, and that he privately proposed to her within the past few weeks. There have been no police updates since the Bryson City Police Department put out a missing person report on Wayt on Tuesday (June 11th).
