Leah Calvert Marriage 2014: 'Teen Mom 2' Star Not Divorcing Jeremy Calvert
Leah Calvert isn't ready to end her marriage to Jeremy.
Although the mommy of three has been struggling in her marriage on the currently airing season of Teen Mom 2, Calvert claims she and Jeremy aren't headed for divorce -- and never will be.
“Divorce is not an option for us,” Calvert told In Touch Weekly on July 24. “I truly believe that Jeremy is the best thing that’s ever happened to me and my girls, and I really think we can overcome anything.”
During the first half of Teen Mom 2 season five, which aired on MTV earlier this year, Calvert and her husband were often seen fighting and Jeremy's hesitancy to go to counseling was cause for concern. However, after the season wrapped, Jeremy had a change of heart and the pair has been going to counseling ever since.
“It’s helped us to see each other’s feelings from a different point of view. We’re doing our best to fix our relationship,” Calvert explained. “We’ve had problems, but Jeremy and I promise each other every day that we’re never going to give up. In the end, I feel like that’s what marriage is all about.”
In addition to being in a better place in her marriage, Calvert is also considering the possibility of expanding her family. During a Twitter chat last week, Calvert told fans she and Jeremy hoped to one day add a son to their brood.
Calvert's statement to Life & Style comes exactly two weeks after her Teen Mom 2 co-star, Kail Lowry, told the magazine the same thing.
During a July 10 interview with the magazine, Lowry said, "Divorce is not an option for us," and spoke of her and her husband's struggles post-baby.
Teen Mom 2 airs on Wednesdays at 10 p.m. on MTV.
