There was a shocking turn in the relationship drama on Teen Mom after an emotional argument between Amber Portwood and her fiancé, Gray Wayt, led to Wayt suddenly going missing. The incident occurred in June 2024, just a couple of weeks after they announced their engagement. On June 11, the Bryston City Police Department in North Carolina reported Wayt missing. He was last seen on June 9, and Portwood filed a missing person report after Wayt left their rental cabin. Although he had his keys and wallet, he did not have his cell phone. The incident ultimately led to the end of their engagement.

In a June 11 livestream on the YouTube channel Ell Bee, Portwood clarified that their discussion had been emotional but not explosive. She mentioned the cultural differences she faced due to Wayt’s Vietnamese background, stating, “There was not a big blowout fight or anything like that, OK? He is a missing person right now. Everything has been reported to all the police officers, and everyone is looking for him.”

Portwood expressed deep concern and prayed for his safe return. After being last captured alone on a Walgreens security camera, Wayt has not been seen or heard from since. Portwood also addressed rumors of possible violence, stating, “We do not hurt each other in any way.” She urged supporters to pray for Wayt and to avoid spreading false stories about what might have happened.

On June 11, Wayt was found in Oklahoma, located more than 900 miles from Bryson City, North Carolina, where he was last spotted. According to Too Fab in the original post, the Bryson City Police Department updated “Gary Wayt has been located. No further information is available at this time. Case is closed.”
