After weeks of speculation Teen Mom OG star Amber Portwood's fiancé, Matt Baier, has admitted that he has five children, not seven, as alleged by Amber's ex and baby daddy, Gary Shirley, on camera weeks ago.
"I have five children [ranging in age from 13 to 25], and all of them have come from long-term relationships," he told In Touch Weekly.
"There are not seven child support cases against me -- that is completely not true. I paid child support for all my kids," the reality dad went on. "I have an arrangement where I pay for education and a few other things. [However,] I don't have to pay for two of my girls because they have been emancipated."
As for the way Gary broke the untrue news, he said, "When he brought up the accusations, I was very hurt. But since then, Gary's been very apologetic. He looked me in the eyes and said, 'I'm sorry.'"
Since the drama started on the show, Amber has been bombarded by different accusations about her man. However, he says they are still in a good place and on their way to getting married.
"It's sad that people are coming up with these crazy stories," he told the gossip mag. "Amber and I have a healthy relationship. We have no secrets from each other."
As MStars News reported, Matt alleged baby mamas have come out of the woodwork to talk about his conning ways and to warn Amber about him.
"Please understand that this is not a personal vendetta against Matt and I am not trying to create any problems for your TV show. I'm a mother and I also care for you and your sobriety," Judy Cornett told Amber via Radar Online. "I am fearful that Matt has not changed. I personally feel that he is still continuing his behavior of conning, manipulating and lying his way through life. He has been searching for that pot of gold and I believe he probably thinks he has found it with you."
Do you think Matt only has five kids or is he hiding more of the truth to Amber?
