Cory confirmed his involvement by sharing a photo of the pair with their daughter captioned:
“I’ve been off of social media for a while now… for many reasons. Most importantly God has given me the biggest blessing in my life, my daughter Ryder K Wharton. I want to say thank you Cheyenne for being such an amazing mother. I look forward to co-parenting with you and giving Ryder all the love in the world. I can’t wait to watch you grow up and be there for you every step of the way, love you Moochie !!!”
Since his initial post, he’s shared countless snaps of his daughter on his social media, many even featuring Cheyenne! Although the couple is no longer romantically linked, they supposedly are amicable co-parents. Though they seem more peaceful than the typical couple that we see on Teen Mom, the pair has an unfair advantage.

Cheyenne gave birth to her first child, Ryder, at age 24. Fans are outraged that the newest cast member of Teen Mom 2 isn’t even a teen mom!
Reddit user alara7 called MTV’s casting decision “a terrible choice.” She added:
“She does not posses the most fundamental criteria of being on teen mom. As she is 25 we have missed out on a large chunk of her life and development so can not invest in her story as much as someone who is 16, She has been on several reality shows. So is already famous and has money. We won’t get to witness the financial struggle. We won’t get to see her before fame. These are all areas which allow us to bond with the moms.”
