Leah Messer Spoke About Filming ‘Teen Mom: The Next Chapter’ Season 2 With Her 3 Daughters
While speaking to People magazine in May 2024, Messer discussed filming with Ali, her twin sister, Aleeah, and their younger sister, Adalynn, for “Teen Mom: The Next Chapter” season 2. She noted that fans got to see candid conversations she had with her daughters.
“I think this season, you also see all the talks I’ve had with my daughters over the years coming together, in a sense, and we see what they believe in and how they use their voices,” said Messer to the publication. “You’ll see why I had all those hard, maybe sometimes cringy conversations with them. I think it’s opened the door for them to have any conversation with me now in their teenage years, which I think is vital.”
According to the trailer for “Teen Mom: The Next Chapter” season 3, which Messer uploaded on her Instagram account, her eldest daughters will appear in the show’s upcoming episodes. The trailer showed Ali and Adalynn posing in dresses.
In the post’s caption, Messer noted that the “Teen Mom” franchise premiered in 2009.
“Can’t believe it’s been 16 years 🥹 #TeenMom: The Next Chapter returns with a super sweet season on January 30th on MTV!” wrote Messer in the post’s caption.
