Welcome to Feathers My Hair, a teen mom deep dive podcast. I'm your host, Liz Bentley.

Hi, hey everyone. Okay, first of all, I'm recording this on Thursday night. I'm out of town this

weekend, so I'm sure some big update is going to happen, but if you do not

follow me on social media, Feathers underscore Pod, which by the way, I've been getting a lot of really

weird comments lately. I feel like people who don't listen to this podcast or don't know me have

somehow found that account and have been

leaving me really wild comments. And I'm like, do you know me? Because I feel like my listeners all

really have a good understanding of my voice, if you will, and like the tone that I'm usually

conveying. And maybe I need to make that account

private. So it's just for Feathers listeners. But in case you don't know, Leah and Jalen broke up.

I, first of all, I once again begging people not to send me teen mom news. I promise you I will see it immediately.

I promise they happened to break up like while I was driving to campus and like the 15 minutes I

wasn't looking at my phone and I had 20 messages. Like I will get there. I very much promise.

But Leah and Jalen posted to Instagram. They did a joint little post.

Let me read it. This happened on Tuesday. Let's see. They did a joint post with one of their,

I think, a photo shoot from their engagement Where Jalen's wearing women's pants.

While the last year has been tremendously exciting for both of us, we've realized that it's best that we walk our separate paths. We are so grateful for the lessons, growth, and memories we've had in this relationship. So many of you have watched our love story unfold, and we hope that you'll continue to watch

our stories why we move forward as friends.

We will forever have love and respect for each other, and we ask for our privacy as we

refocus and transition out of this chapter together.

Um, what?

Huh? What? What? I am so fucking confused. I would have bet my life on them getting married. Like I, well, first of all, actually, I thought that we'd be getting a Christmas day
