'Teen Mom' Star Cory Wharton and Girlfriend Taylor Selfridge Expecting First Child Together
Teen Mom OG star Cory Wharton is adding another bundle of joy to his life.
Us Weekly reports that the 28-year-old reality star and his girlfriend of two years, Taylor Selfridge, are expecting their first baby together. The two met during the first season of Ex on the Beach, and after a brief split, have been going strong ever since.
Though this is the second child for Wharton, who shares two-year-old Ryder with ex-girlfriend Cheyenne Floyd, he didn’t find out that he was the father of his daughter until she was six months old. The Challenge star admits that, because of this, Selfridge’s pregnancy feels like his first baby. He shared:
“Just being there from the day she found out that she’s pregnant and knowing that it was mine, I knew that I was going to have to step up. It’s exciting for me. It’s gonna be a lot, but I’m excited. I never went to an ultrasound, you know? I never went to the doctor’s appointments to see her check-ups and things like that. So for me, this is like my first baby almost, as weird as that sounds.”
But how does Floyd feel about the new half-sibling in her daughter’s life? According to Wharton, she couldn’t be more supportive. He explained:
“So I told her [about the pregnancy], and her sister was there. They were just asking me all the questions, like, ‘Are you OK?’ ‘How’s Taylor doing?’ ‘Does she need a doctor?’ They really were supportive from day one.”
Congratulations to Cory and Taylor!
