Leah Messer was born on April 24, 1992, in Elkview, West Virginia. She first came into the public eye in 2009 when she was cast in the second season of "16 and Pregnant." The show documented her pregnancy with twin girls at the age of 16 with her then-boyfriend Corey Simms. This exposure led to her being cast in "Teen Mom 2," which premiered in 2011 and followed the lives of young mothers as they navigated parenthood, relationships, and personal growth.
Messer's storyline on "Teen Mom 2" was particularly compelling due to several dramatic elements. For example, she married the mother of her twins, Corey Simms, in 2010. They divorced in 2011.
