Gary Wayt’s Disappearance Will Be Covered on ‘Teen Mom: The Next Chapter’

'Teen Mom: The Next Chapter' was on hand to film the aftermath of Gary Wayt's disappearance. This weeks episode will be focused on the situation.

The Teen Mom franchise was struck with an unexpected missing person case in June. Amber Portwood’s then-fiance, Gary Wayt, was reported missing when he drove away from a North Carolina Cabin he was sharing with Portwood and never returned. He was later found safe. Now, the drama of Gary Wayt’s disappearance is set to play out on Teen Mom: The Next Chapter, and apparently, Maci Bookout was involved.

Gary Wayt’s disappearance will be covered in an upcoming ‘Teen Mom: The Next Chapter’ episode

Amber Portwood and Gary Wayt’s relationship was over before Teen Mom: The Next Chapter season 2 began airing, but episodes involving their romance are now just airing. Fans of the series watched Wayt propose to Portwood, already knowing that Wayt later disappeared for a week before ending his engagement. Now, fans will get to see the disappearance play out on screen.

In a recent sneak peek for the upcoming episode, Maci Bookout speaks with Catelynn Lowell over the phone about Portwood and Gary Wayt’s situation. Bookout reveals that she planned to drive Portwood halfway back to Indiana after Wayt failed to materialize. The production team was prepared to take her the rest of the way home. Portwood is not seen much in the uploaded clip. Still, most of the episode will obviously cover Gary Wayt’s disappearance and the subsequent end of the couple’s engagement. The clip was uploaded to Instagram.

Where is Amber Portwood’s ex now?

Despite his short-lived role in Teen Mom: The Next Chapter, Gary Wayt appears to prefer a quiet life these days. At the very least, he’s not public on social media. He also doesn’t seem interested in further associating himself with his ex or the network that made her famous.

Despite his interest in privacy, some of Wayt’s movements are known. According to an insider, Wyatt planned the breakup in advance and secured an apartment out of state before leaving the vacation cabin. It is unclear exactly where he is living. Wherever he is, it didn’t take long for him to move on from Portwood. According to several sources, Gary Wayt is engaged to a new lady. He reportedly popped the question in Seattle. According to Us Weekly, Portwood is still reeling from the romance and its demise. According to the publication, the news of her ex moving on didn’t land well.
