She shared a text post on Instagram reading, “You deserve a relationship that is based on connection, partnership and intimacy. Choose to be in a relationship with someone who is honest, 100% responsible for their life and committed to being the best person they can be, along with loving and adoring your mind, body and soul. Never settle for anything less.”
Many fans were shocked by the 13-year age gap between 26-year-old Leah and 39-year-old Jason. On reddit, user FrauEdwards called out his aged appearance as “a West Virginia 39.”
MrsTrustIssues added, “He’s 100 years old. Has she looked in a mirror?”
However, Us ’s source said, “Even though he’s older, they have a lot in common. They share the same faith and have gone to church together. They love hiking…cooking.” The source called Jason “family-oriented” and “very attentive” and shared, “He will leave flowers for the girls and notes for Leah on her car.”

The couple can also bond over the difficulties of raising children after a divorce. Jason split from his wife in the fall. “Jason has a 2-year old and Leah has met him,” the source shared. “She hasn’t really dated since her breakup from Jeremy, so she was a little nervous to introduce him to the kids, but they absolutely love him.”
Leah tweeted, “I’m okay if I don’t have anymore kids, it’s not even a thought of mine! #justsaying” After three girls, did Jason’s young son finally wear her out?
Though the couple only recently went public, the source tells Us, “It’s progressing forward … They’re just enjoying each other in the moment.”
Unfortunately, fans will not be seeing any more of her new beau anytime soon. A Teen Mom source has said that Leah “wants to keep this relationship more private,” so he will not be appearing on the show, though Season 9 is currently filming.
