Needless to say, the woman has been through a lot.

So when Leah started dating Jaylan Mobley, fans were quick to express their hope that the relationship would bring the mother of three all the happiness she deserves.

Leah has delighted in sharing her newfound joy with her Instagram followers.

These days, it seems that not a week goes by without some new rumor about Leah and Jaylan making the rounds on social media.

Some folks are think that Messer and Mobley are engaged.

Others are convinced that the couple is secretly married, and that Leah is pregnant with Jaylan’s baby.

Leah has refrained from addressing any of these rumors directly, and naturally, her silence has only added fuel to the fire.

But Leah is currently making the media rounds to promote the start of Teen Mom 2 Season 11, and in a new interview with In Touch, she went into detail about her relationship status.

“I don’t know. I mean, I’m open to marriage, but I’m also taking this slow,” Leah told the outlet when asked if she’s planning to get married or have more kids.

“I think I just wanna get to know him,” she continued.

“Let me love this man. Let me get to know this man. Even more before we add any more pressure on to our relationship. That’s kind of where we’re at.”

Leah continued to gush about Jaylan noting that he’s so charismatic that he even managed to win over her two ex-husbands.

“I have introduced Jaylan to both Corey and Jeremy, and they love him,” she told In Touch.

"Corey was like: ‘Hey, get Jaylan a beer!’ And I was like, ‘Okay, okay.’ And Corey’s never like that. So it’s good.”

Sounds like all is well in Leah and Jaylan’s world!

Mobley made his MTV debut during Leah’s time on Teen Mom: Family Reunion, but sadly, the cameras weren’t rolling during the couple’s first months together.
