'Teen Mom 2' Star Leah Messer-Calvert Rejoins Cast; Praises God for Her Life

By Sami K. Martin, Christian Post Reporter Wednesday, December 10, 2014

"Teen Mom 2" star Leah Messer-Calvert has decided to rejoin the cast of MTV's "Teen Mom 2" and publicly thanked God for her life.

Messer-Calvert has seemingly struggled with her marriage and raising three daughters, including one with special needs. However, she has held on to her faith throughout all of those struggles, even when she told a fan via Twitter that she was not returning to the series that made her a household name. Now, though, things have taken another turn and Messer-Calvert is reportedly joining the other young moms for just one more season.

"God is LOVE!! I am so thankful for the life he had give unto me!" Messer-Calvert tweeted, along with the hashtag #AAA, most likely in honor of her three daughters, whose names all start with the letter "A."

The 22-year-old is currently married to Jeremy Calvert, and a photo of the couple serves as the background for her Twitter feed, leading many to believe that the marriage is back on track after rumors of adultery and drug abuse began circulating. Nothing was ever confirmed, though, and just last month was seen attending a local church in West Virginia.

"She's started going to a church that embraces forgiveness and recovery," a source told In Touch magazine. "She's determined to make a complete turnaround. He (the pastor) said that bad habits like drugs, sex and alcoholism can be broken when one finds Jesus. Leah was nodding her head in agreement the entire time. It seemed to really hit home for her."

Messer-Calvert appeared on the MTV series for five seasons alongside Jenelle Evans, Chelsea Houska and Kailyn Lowry. Audiences watched as the four young women struggled with drug abuse, physical abuse, marriage and divorce, all while raising children of their own. When the show was cancelled after five seasons, fans were stunned and disheartened. Later, though, it was announced that the four would return for at least one more go-around.
