Earlier this week, we reported that Leah Messer and T.R. Dues had broken up.
Yesterday, several sources claimed that there was some serious confusion over whether Leah and T.R. were still together, even within the couple’s inner circle.
Now, a new theory has emerged, as many believe that Leah and T.R. staged the split in order to keep their relationship on the down-low.
“They are very much together, and live as a family with her daughters and his sons,” a source close to the situation recently told Radar Online.
That confirmation came on the heels of a bunch of tweets from Leah in which she wrote of the importance of not “letting people stay in your life longer than they deserve to.”
So why all the secrecy and subterfuge?
Well, Leah is currently in the midst of an ugly custody battle with Corey Simms, and she may be concerned that living with a new dude who has kids of his own could jeopardize her chances of regaining primary custody of her twin girls.
Obviously, Leah and T.R. did an incredibly bad job of keeping their relationship low-key, which could be why Leah decided to send her Twitter followers the message that she’s newly single.
Perhaps Leah’s smarter than watching Teen Mom online would lead us to believe.
