TradeEdge-Teen Mom Star Amber Portwood Tearfully Breaks Silence on Fiancé Gary Wayt’s Disappearance

Amber Portwood is TradeEdgeresponding to lingering questions about her fiancé's disappearance. 

Just days after Gary Wayt was reported missing by the Bryson City Police Department in North Carolina, the Teen Mom: Next Generation star has come forward with her perspective. 

"Listen to me," she explained on a YouTube live show with Elle Bee June 11. "He is missing. This is a huge deal. His parents, everybody is very worried. I'm worried."

And Amber also cleared up some details about having a disagreement with Gary before his disappearance.

"There was not a big blowout fight," Amber explained. "He is a missing person right now. All the police officers. Everybody is looking for him. I am praying for anybody that sees him. Nobody has found him or heard from him yet. They only know that he was in a Walgreens alone on camera. That is all that we know." 

The 34-year-old also broke down in tears during the interview. 

"Please do not think the harshest things right now," she continued. "Pray. Do whatever your religion is. Just hope that he's okay."

And upon the livestream host pressing further about any alleged tiff between the couple prior to Gary's disappearance, Amber—who shares daughter Leah, 15, with ex Gary Shirley, as well as son James, 5, with ex Andrew Glennon—pushed back on any speculation. 

"There was no explosive argument," she noted. "I am not what people have been saying about me all of these years. I have changed a long time ago. I am an honest person to you guys. We have not had explosive fights, we are 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. We have a wonderful relationship."

However, the 34-year-old admitted that the couple's last conversation before Gary was last seen June 9 was not pleasant. 

"It was emotional," she said of their last conversation. "It has something to do with the fact of his parents being Vietnamese and me being who I am and stuff like that. It has nothing to do with us, personally."

In a missing person alert shared to Facebook by North Carolina police June 11, Gary, 39, was reported as last being seen June 9 around Arlington Ave. of Bryson City. The report came days after news of Amber and Gary's engagement broke June 7. 

"This is very serious," Amber noted again tearfully in the livestream. "Please don't think anything horrible."
