\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\t\t\tThe dads of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter are ready to celebrate their kids this Father\u2019s Day weekend. For several years, reality stars including Tyler Baltierra, Gary Shirley, Sean Austin, Zach Davis and Taylor McKinney have allowed MTV cameras to follow the highs and lows of fatherhood.

\u201cThis was an amazing birthday,\u201d Amber said. \u201cI\u2019m happy that you guys finally got to meet him. I had a lot of fun, honestly. I miss you guys so I want to start doing this more often if we can. I\u2019d love to spend more time with you [Leah] and all of you guys. I love you guys. I love you butt head and I miss you.\u201d<\/p>\n
With a little bit of encouragement from Maci, 33, and Catelynn, 32, \u2014 who were also invited to the family BBQ \u2014 Amber was able to schedule another dinner date with Leah and her family for later in the week.<\/p>\n\n![\"Teen](\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Teen-Mom-s-Amber-Portwood-Reunites-With-Daughter-Leah-After-7-Months-Apart-147.jpg?w=1000&quality=40&strip=all\")

I couldn\u2019t be any happier honestly.\u201d<\/p>\n
In recent seasons of Teen Mom<\/i>, viewers have witnessed Amber\u2019s strained relationship with Leah. In a July episode, Gary claimed his daughter<\/a> had expressed interest in being adopted by her stepmom. A source later told Us Weekly<\/i> that \u201cwould never happen<\/a> on Amber\u2019s watch.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<\/blockquote>\nFrom Amber\u2019s perspective, she tries reaching out to schedule quality time to no avail.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel like I\u2019m bothering them,\u201d she told Maci and Catelynn. \u201cI had asked her, \u2018Can we have a date together? Go shopping, get something to eat, hang out\u2019 and she said, \u2018Yes.\u2019 This was months ago. Then I asked her again and she was vague and sent me her schedule. It was clear that she was saying, \u2018I\u2019m just busy.\u2019 They never make a date.\u201d<\/p>\n
