This week’s Teen Mom OG episode featured a scene in which Gary Shirley and Amber Portwood’s daughter Leah revealed that she didn’t want to invite Amber to her birthday party because she didn’t feel close to her. Gary and his wife, Kristina Shirley, were able to convince Leah to change her mind and invite Amber. Amber Portwood did not take kindly to the scene, and she viciously went after Kristina on Instagram this week.

Just weeks after Teen Mom OG‘s Gary Shirley revealed his mom Carol was sick with COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, he has sadly revealed that his stepdad Jody is now so sick with the virus that he has to be hospitalized. In one bright spot, however, Gary’s mother is now on the mend.

Despite all the ups and downs, Teen Mom OG‘s Gary Shirley is still on good terms with his ex Amber Portwood, the mother of his 11-year-old daughter Leah. They are so good right now, in fact, that on tonight’s episode Gary drives her to the airport to pick up her new beau Dimitri Garcia. He also has a gift for the new lovebirds to help with birth control: his personal line of “It’s Gary Time” condoms!

In one of the best kept secrets in Teen Mom history, OG dad Gary Shirley has been secretly training to be a police officer. And we’re only finding out now because he officially just became one!
