Teen Mom’s Amber Portwood Says She’s “F–ked Up” From Breakup With Former Fiancé Gary Wayt 

Kailyn Lowry & Elijah Scott

With current partner Elijah Scott, Kailyn finally feels she has a strong foundation. “It’s been very different from my other partners and my kids’ other dads,” she told People of Elijah, dad to her son Rio and twins Verse and Valley. “He pours concrete, he gets down and dirty at work. But he’s also just a real family man. He’s very, very much connected with his own family, with our family, and so he’s been a really good partner to me, and I feel like it’s a really good match.”

A strong enough one that she finally said yes to one of his many proposals, in fact. 

“He asked me to marry him several times and I never said no,” Kailyn insisted to E! News in September 2024 of her neighbor-turned-life partner. “I was just like, ‘Yes, but not right now.'” 

And though she acknowledged that the construction worker “definitely changed my stance on marriage,” she’s not exactly rushing out to buy a white dress. Joked Kailyn, “How soon we get married depends on the day that you ask me now.”
