TEEN Mom Amber Portwood's fiance Gary Wayt's last photos before his disappearance have been revealed.
The U.S. Sun exclusively obtained photos of Gary taken shortly before he went missing.
It was reported earlier this week that Amber's soon-to-be husband hadn't been seen since Sunday after the couple attended Amber's brother Shawn's wedding.
The pics were snapped at the event, showing the pair posing with the bride and groom, enjoying drinks at the reception and toasting to the newly married couple.
However, The U.S. Sun exclusively learned that the mood shifted when Amber, 34, and Gary, 39, got into an argument, prompting Gary to leave without his cell phone.
He has since not been seen or heard from, as cops have gotten involved in the search.
In a statement to The U.S. Sun, police revealed that Amber confessed that the engaged couple got into a disagreement before he left the North Carolina cabin they were staying in.
"Amber stated she and Gary were having an argument and Gary picked up his car keys and wallet and walked out the door and drove off in a 2009 Nissan Rogue gray in color," the statement read.
Police also confirmed that Gary had been missing since Sunday around 6:00 pm, and Amber notified them at 4:00 pm the following day.
Gary has been described as a 6-foot-1, 205-pound male who is bald and has brown eyes.
Photos of Gary have also been shared on the Bryson City Police Department's Facebook page in hopes that the public can help locate him.
Gary and Amber have reportedly been dating since last year, and they got engaged in late May.
Moment Teen Mom’s Leah storms out crying from 15th birthday party after mom Amber Portwood hurls shocking insult at her
Amber introduced Gary to fans and her Teen Mom: The Next Chapter cast during a recent episode.
The MTV personality has starred on the spin-off and other shows in the franchise, 16 & Pregnant and Teen Mom OG, as she's documented her journey as a young mom.
She shares her 15-year-old daughter, Leah, with her ex, Gary Shirley, and her 6-year-old son, James, with her ex, Andrew Glennon, neither of whom she has custody of.
Amber has admitted she's had a difficult time reconnecting with her daughter after her 17-month stint in prison when Leah was younger.
Teen Mom: The Next Chapter Cast
In September 2022, MTV blended their long-running shows Teen Mom OG and Teen Mom 2 to one series following the young mothers' experiences raising their kids and co-parenting with their baby dads. Here's a list of the entire Teen Mom: The Next Chapter cast.
- Briana DeJesus - Teen Mom 2
- Cheyenne Floyd - Teen Mom OG
- Leah Messer - Teen Mom 2
- Amber Portwood - Teen Mom OG
- Maci Bookout - Teen Mom OG
- Catelynn Lowell - Teen Mom OG
- Ashley Jones - Teen Mom 2
- Jade Cline - Teen Mom 2
- Mackenzie McKee - Teen Mom 3 & Teen Mom OG
The TV star was locked up after pleading guilty to two felony charges of domestic battery following an alleged attack on Leah's father.
Their strained relationship was prevalent in last week's episode of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter when Leah broke down in tears over her mother's behavior at her birthday celebrations.
It happened while the family was out to dinner, as Gary argued with his ex over arriving significantly late.
Despite Leah's pleas to stop fighting, they continued their spat, and the teenager got visibly upset.
She then asked to be excused from the table and rushed off to the bathroom, where she was heard begging her stepmother, Kristina, for them to go home.
Once Gary left with Leah, Amber admitted to the cameras that she feared the incident would further distance her from her daughter.
