In a February 2025 interview with E! News, Messer suggested she is not interested in dating. She said she is “really focused on [her] career and [her] daughters,” Ali, 15, Aleeah, 15, and Addie, 11.

“And I think everything will fall into place the way it is,” said Messer to the publication. “If I’m meant to be that cat lady, I will be that.” 

Messer also told E! News her plans for the future.

“I want a cottage. If I’m being completely honest, I want to build my own cottage,” said Messer during the interview.

“We do what’s best for the kids at the end of the day. That’s gonna be my focus, always. As long as my kids are good, we’re good. If there’s ever something that comes up, we kind of communicate that and we move however is needed,” said Messer during the OK! Magazine interview.

Leah Messer Has a Message for Her 16-Year-Old Self

During a January 2025 interview with Access Hollywood, alongside her “Teen Mom: The Next Chapter” castmates Maci Bookout and Catelynn Baltierra, Messer referenced she was pregnant with her eldest children when she was 16 years old. While speaking to the publication, she shared what she would tell her 16-year-old self if she had the chance.

“Being a little bit selfish at 16 and 17 years old, and focusing on your goals and your dreams and what you’re passionate about, do that. Do that. Everything else will fall into place. But do that. Have fun,” said Messer during the interview.

Bookout also had a message for her 16-year-old self.

“I would tell myself to not be so hard on yourself. And that making yourself a priority is very much a good thing,” said Bookout to Access Hollywood.

Baltierra also said she would tell her younger self to “really get educated about the choice you are making,” seemingly in reference to placing her eldest child, Carly, up for adoption shortly after her birth in 2009.
