A source told Us Weekly that the veteran Teen Mom star ended her relationship with her short-term fiancé after Wayt disappearing for several days.
“They have decided that it is over between them and that their engagement is over,” said one source told this tabloid on Tuesday night, adding Amber and Gary:
“They have a lot to overcome to move forward together.”
The anonymous source said “there has been some closure” for the MTV personality, emphasizing that the ex-lovers have communicated and Wayt “isn’t ghosting her.”

Not long after the public learned of Portwood’s engagement, we also learned that Amber and Gary had some sort of argument while attending Amber’s brother’s wedding in North Carolina.
Wayt then disappeared.
“I’m worried… He’s a missing person right now,” Portwood told social media followers at the time.
“No one has found or heard of him yet. I’m trying my best not to think the worst. I haven’t eaten (sic) in three days. I slept maybe an hour.
The Bryson City Police Department confirmed via Facebook that Gary was missing and later confirmed that he had been found.
No other details were released, however.

Portwood herself has yet to confirm that her engagement is over. However…
“Amber took off her engagement ring and it’s the best thing,” the source continued to Us Weekly.
“She’s sad and cares about him, but she’s willing to see that he’s not the right guy for her. She wants to be with someone who accepts her completely.”
Portwood was arrested in 2019 for domestic violence and has been in trouble with the law on numerous occasions; as a result, she does not have custody of her son.
This history also appears to have played a role in the separation.

“Gary’s family was searching for her online and looking into her past, and not everything they saw online was true,” the source continues. “And it was hard for Amber because she’s been trying so hard to get over this and move on.”
Amber was previously engaged to Matt Baier and then Gary Shirley, never making it to the altar on either occasion.
She shares five-year-old son James with ex Andrew Glennon and 15-year-old daughter Leah with Shirley.
In January, a source said Portwood and Wayt were seeing each other after connecting on a dating app months earlier.
“They’re taking their time getting to know each other, but it’s getting serious,” this person said at the time.
