Leah Messer & Corey Simms: FINALLY Come to Custody Agreement

The never-ending custody battle between Leah Messer and Corey Simms has finally reached an end.

And a peaceful one, at that.

In a court hearing that took place yesterday, the two agreed to share equal custody of their six-year-old twin daughters Ali and Aleeah, reported Radar Online.

“The hearing went very smoothly,” a source close to Simms told the site. “They both finally came to an agreement that was best for everyone.”

This of course is terrific news for Leah, who lost custody of the girls last October following a nasty divorce from Jeremy Calvert and news of her prescription drug addiction becoming public.

However, after completing rehab, Leah fought back and was able to secure another hearing after the courts learned that Corey lied about his income.

The Teen Mom 2 star also accused her ex of tampering with their daughters’ school attendance records in order to frame her.

She convinced school supervisors that the records were inaccurate, and the girls were marked late or absent when they were actually present in the classroom.

Her efforts have evidently paid off, and amazingly, both parties seem to be satisfied.

“Everyone is getting along for the first time in a long time,” an insider told the site. “It’s what’s best for the twins.”

It’s no secret that Leah has made some epically bad parenting decisions over the years, but we sincerely hope these two can get their acts together and behave like responsible adults so their kids can have a fighting chance at a normal life.

Leah Messer & Corey Simms: Are They Getting Back Together???

Are you two trying to tell us something?

Just a few days before Christmas, Leah Messer shared a throwback photo of herself in the hospital with ex-husband Corey Simms, according to OK! Magazine.

The former couple welcomed their twin daughters, Aliannah and Aleeah that day in 2009.

Messer also shared photos of her family members holding the newborns, so it’s not entirely suspicious that she would include Simms.

Still, one can’t blame some Teen Mom fans for wanting them to get back together.

About a month ago, Messer posted a cryptic quote on social media: “I got the boy, she got the man,” referring to Simms’ current wife, Miranda.

On November 9th, Simms and Miranda welcomed a baby girl, Remington Monroe Simms.

Messer is currently dating T.R Dues, 33, and reportedly won’t allow Simms to have a sit-down with him.

“Leah denies his requests, for some unknown reason” a source told Radar Online. “She won’t explain why they can’t meet.

“Corey just wants to know that the girls are safe with this man.”

Things are reportedly so serious between Messer and Dues that an engagement is rumored to be on the horizon.

Messer’s twins allegedly call Dues’ two sons their “brothers.”

Ah, caught between two men.  What is one to do?

Leah Messer to Corey Simms: DO NOT TALK to T.R. Dues!

Leah Messer and her new boyfriend are very serious – she’s living with T.R. Dues, for crying out loud – and Corey Simms is concerned.

Not that his ex-wife moved on (Corey is remarried with a new baby of his own), but that she won’t let him meet the new man in her life.

According to a Teen Mom 2 insider, Simms, the father of Messer’s 6-year-old twins Ali and Aleeah, has repeatedly asked his ex for this.

Corey, 26, wants Leah, 23, to let him sit down and talk with T.R. Dues, 33, since he spends a significant amount of time with his girls.

However, “Leah denies his requests, for some unknown reason” a source told Radar Online. “She won’t explain why they can’t meet.”

“Corey just wants to know that the girls are safe with this man.” 

Simms and Dues met once “for less than five minutes,” the source says, but Corey didn’t realize T.R. was putting it to Leah at the time.

Not only was the West Virginia personal trainer and father of two dating his former wife, he’s been living with her for some time now.

Leah, who jumped right into this serious relationship after her second divorce (from Jeremy Calvert) was finalized, is rather co-dependent.

Fans who watch Teen Mom 2 online know this well.

One wonders how Corey will react to know that his twins call their mom’s live-in lover’s sons Tyshawn, 8, and Angelo, 4, their “brothers.”

At least they’re happy? In any case, young Ali and Aleeah currently spend school days with their father, and weekends with Messer.

However, the custody arrangement could change after Messer won a new court hearing and will square off against Simms next month.

She believes the court gave her a raw deal when it came to her daughters’ school attendance records, and plans to challenge its findings.

In the meantime, rumors that she plans on getting engaged to T.R. in the near future are swirling … and would that really surprise you?

Leah Messer Wins Major Court Victory Against Corey Simms

The custody battle between Leah Messer and Corey Simms has been going on for months now, and Leah may have just gotten one step closer to making her case that Corey is no more fit to raise the ex-couple’s twin daughters than she is.

According to Radar Online Corey was forced to fork over $ 6,000 in child support after he was recently caught misleading the court about his income.

For Leah, of course, the money is secondary to the fact that her lawyers can use the fact that Simms misreported his income as a strike against him in the next custody hearing.

“Leah is thrilled she got a court date,” says one insider. “She’s been waiting for this opportunity for months.”

Corey’s shady behavior, coupled with the fact that Leah was recently able to prove that she got the girls to school on time when they were under her care (despite what Simms’ lawyers claimed) may mean that her previous custody arrangement will soon be restored.

“Leah thinks she has a good chance to get her daughters back,” a source revealed. “She’s optimistic.”

There’s no word yet on when the couple will return to court for a custody hearing, but when they do, you can expect Simms to pull out all the stops.

His lawyers will almost certainly remind the judge of Leah’s drug problem and ask the court to consider why she’s keeping her relationship with T.R. Dues a secret.

Corey Simms Baby Photo: First, Adorable Look!

In the midst of a battle with his ex-wife Leah Messer, Teen Mom 2‘s Corey Simms shared some great news with fans today.  Simms and wife, Miranda Patterson welcomed daughter Remington Monroe, their first child together.

A little later on, Simms’ father, Jeff posted a photo of “Remi” with a very sweet caption:

“Remington Monroe surprised us this weekend with her early arrival. She and her mommy are doing well. I am hopelessly in love!”

Simms has 5-year-old twins Ali and Aleeah with Messer, who hasn’t had the easiest year;  she entered treatment for depression, and has been fighting Simms for custody of the girls.  On October 7th, a judge ruled that Simms, 26, will have custody of the twins Monday-Friday, leaving Leah with just the weekend.

This came after Messer was accused of not getting her daughters to kindergarten on time.  In response to this, Messer claimed she suffers from narcolespy.

Messer also admitted that Simms cheated on Patterson with her. 

“Things happened that shouldn’t have happened and it was disrespectful to Miranda and I have apologized,” Leah said on the Teen Mom 2 reunion. “That’s the only time that I disrespected her. Any other time I have never, ever let my kids say anything about her. I even told them that I expect them to respect Miranda as their stepmom.”

So, anyway.  New baby!

Corey Simms, Miranda Patterson Welcome Baby Girl!

Corey Simms is a third-time father.

The Teen Mom 2 star, who was married for eight months to Leah Messer and who shares five-year old twins with his ex, welcomed a daughter into the world with his wife, Miranda Patterson, over the weekend.

This is Miranda’s first child.

Corey’s father, Jeff Simms, confirmed this exciting news via a picture of the newborn on Facebook post, writing along with it:

“Meet the newest member of our family, Remington Monroe Simms! I’m already wrapped around that tiny little finger.”

Corey Simms and Miranda Patterson revealed earlier this year that they were having a little girl and planned to name her Remi.

Simms has been fighting for custody of his twins (Aleeah and Aliannah) on and off the aforementioned MTV hit reality show.

If you watch Teen Mom 2 online, you know this played out for much of the past season, and didn’t get any better in the months since.

In October, a West Virginia judge awarded him primary custody of the toddlers, ruling that he would have the girls Monday-Friday.

Messer, whose parenting woes have become infamous, will still be allowed to take the twins on the weekends for the time being.

Corey has claimed in the past that his ex-wife has struggled with substance abuse issues, and that he fears for his kids’ safety.

(As for reports of Corey cheating on Miranda Patterson with Leah of all people, those appear to be true, but that’s another story.)

“It’s hard for me to get the truth out of Leah about a lot of stuff,” Corey told Dr. Drew Pinsky on the Teen Mom 2 reunion special.

“I would like to have my children in a stable home. I don’t think that’s too much to ask. I’ve been in my house going on four years.”

Adding that this is not about bitterness toward Leah, he says, “I’d like to show them what it’s like to be in a place, growing up, stable.”

We send him and Miranda the best.

Leah Messer Admits to Pill-Popping, Sleeping With Married Corey Simms

Leah Messer has been accused of just about every kind of bad behavior over the years, and she’s always maintained her innocence.

In a recent bombshell interview with Us Weekly, however, Leah comes clean about everything from her pill-popping to her bizarre relationship with Corey Simms.

Despite having recently lost custody of her twin daughters to Simms, Leah finally admits that she and her first husband have had difficulty keeping their hands off of one another in the past.

There’s been much debate over the past few months over whether Leah and Corey had sex after he got remarried.

Now, Leah is confirming that the tryst took place, and revealing for the first time exactly when it happened:

“Corey and I did hook up two months after they got married,” says Leah. Sounds like Corey will have some explaining to do at home tonight.

After months of claiming that her drug use was limited to a “couple weeks” of using anti-anxiety meds after the birth of her third child Leah now admits that she became addicted to prescription painkillers and was only able to get sober with the help of in-patient treatment.

As for losing custody of her twins, Leah describes it as “a slap in the face,” but says she’s not ready to give up fighting for them.

“I feel like they should have both of us in their lives,” Leah says. “At the end of the day, my kids are going to be happy, and I don’t care what I have to do to make them happy.”

Leah Messer Loses Custody of Twins to Corey Simms

Leah Messer might have had the toughest year of any of the Teen Mom ladies, which is really saying something.

First, Leah went through an ugly divorce with Jeremy Calvert.

Shortly thereafter, the world learned of the severity of Leah’s drug problem on a series of Teen Mom episodes that focused on her prescription pill addiction. 

Now, In Touch magazine is reporting that Leah has lost her long custody battle against her first husband, Corey Simms.

“[Corey] was awarded primary custody effective immediately,” a source tells the tabloid. “Leah only gets the girls on the weekends now. Leah’s been crying. She never thought this would happen.”

Corey fought Leah for custody of the couple’s 5-year-old twin daughters Ali and Aleeah back in 2014, on the grounds that Leah’s drug use was preventing her from providing a safe environment for the kids.

A court-ordered drug test came back, however, clean and Leah was able to retain custody.

Shortly thereafter, Leah spiraled out of control and eventually checked into a 30-day treatment program. Messer completed rehab back in July, but insiders say she quickly returned to her old ways.

“Leah’s really been screwing up since then, so Corey took her back to court,” the source said. “The judge looked at the girls’ school records, which show that they’ve been late for school and made the change in custody.” 

Sources say Leah has no immediate plans to repeal the court’s decision.

Leah Messer: So Hurt By Corey Simms, Miranda Patterson Tag-Teaming Her on Teen Mom 2!

Tension between Leah Messer and Corey Simms on the Teen Mom 2 reunion was palpable, and sources say it has not died down since the taping.

The confrontation between Simms, his ex-wife Leah Messer and Miranda Patterson – his current, pregnant wife – was the culmination of a lot of things.

Things that made it awkward to watch Teen Mom 2 online, honestly.

An emotional and dramatic reunion between the three came after a season in which fans saw Leah struggle with a serious mental health disorder.

And/or a prescription drug addiction. It was never explicitly clear.

In any case, the reunion also followed rumors that Corey banged Leah in his truck while meeting to discuss the kids – and while married to Miranda.

“Things happened that shouldn’t have happened and it was disrespectful to Miranda and I have apologized,” Messer admitted on the reunion.

“That’s the only time,” she insists, “that I disrespected her.”

But Simms and Patterson were a united front throughout the episode, and basically used it to blame and sabotage Leah at every opportunity.

An inside source tells Us Weekly of the West Virginia mom:

“She is really hurt by this. She’s not perfect and she knows that but she’s been doing so well, and she loves those kids more than anything.”

“Leah’s considering putting Gracie and Ali into therapy.”

The source also notes that despite her problems, Messer has been unfairly scrutinized and edited, and is trying hard to get her life back on track.

“Leah is doing great. She has actually grown as a person,” the source says. “Leah is not on pills right now. She’s not on drugs. She’s doing so well.”

The source adds that Messer has even gotten support from her second ex-husband Jeremy Calvert, despite what Teen Mom 2 might imply.

“Like Corey and Jeremy would ever set up a time to sit and chat. That’s all production,” the source says. “Jeremy knows she’s a good mom.”

Does he, though? And is she, though? You tell us …

Leah Messer Accuses Corey Simms of Cheating on His Wife in New Teen Mom 2 Clip

If you watch Teen Mom 2 online, then you know this season hasn’t exactly been kind to Leah Messer.

We saw Leah’s drug problem worsen as her life spiraled out of control.

She demonstrated some seriously questionable judgment on several occasions, and things got so bad that Leah’s ex-husbands joined forces in order to figure out the best way to ensure their kids’ safety.

The finale saw Leah completing rehab and moving into a new home, but as you can see from this preview for the upcoming second installment of the show’s reunion special, she’s still got a lot of issues that need to be worked out:

Leah Messer vs Corey Simms: Teen Mom 2 Reunion Special

In response to an accusation that she’s jealous of Corey Simms’ new wife, Miranda, Leah goes off and accuses Simms of cheating.

“Never in my life would I be jealous of Miranda,” Leah says. “Where were you at during your first couple months of marriage? Hitting me up!”

It’s been rumored that Leah and Corey were caught having sex while he was already married to Miranda, so there’s a good chance that Leah is telling the truth here.

Sadly, by calling her ex out on TV, then hiding behind her “safe word” when she’s accused of lying, Leah deomonstrates that she hasn’t lost her taste for drama.
