As rumors of Cory Wharton and Taylor Selfridge’s split continue to circulate on social media, Taylor took a moment to (kind of) address the situation on Snapchat recently, telling fans she appreciates those who are letting her “breathe” and not pressuring her to speak on what’s going on with her and Cory.
As The Ashley told you earlier this month, Taylor and the ‘Teen Mom: The Next Chapter’ dad have seeming split after eight years of dating and welcoming two children together– daughters Mila and Maya. (Cory is also a dad to daughter Ryder, whom he shares with Cheyenne Floyd.)
After suspicions of the MTV stars’ breakup began to ramp up on social media, Cory took to X to rant— and insist that he and Taylor had not parted ways because he cheated– as some fans had suspected– and later claimed that he and his long-term girlfriend had been having issues “WAY before” his recent trip to Bali.
While Taylor has yet to directly comment on the rumors, she took to Snapchat to explain why she hasn’t shared more details about her personal life with the public, before reminding fans that very little of her life is actually seen on TV.
“I really do appreciate the people that are just, like, letting me breathe, like, not breathing down my neck [and] trying to get answers from me,” she said, before going on to add that, because “we”– presumably her and Cory– are on TV, some people think she owes them certain access to her life.
“ … but, like, I don’t feel like my life is really on TV,” she continued in the video, which was reposted to Reddit. “Like, nobody really knows what goes down. You guys see the most on Snapchat … nobody actually knows basically anything. I mean, the show doesn’t even show even a freaking percentage of my life, like me specifically … .”
Taylor went on to claim that if she weren’t an influencer, she’d probably live an even more private life.

“I make money on social media, I’m an influencer, that’s what I have done for a living since I was 23 [after appearing on Are You The One],” she explained. “So yeah, I do have to be on social media, so I think that’s where people are like, ‘We want to know [what’s going on],’ but if this wasn’t how I made money and stuff, I would choose to be very private. That would be my life.”
While Cory has opted to stay (mostly) quiet on what’s really going on between him and Taylor, he posted a carousel of photos to Instagram this week that included a snapshot of family handprints in cement in which Taylor’s handprint was featured along with Cory’s and their children. It’s unclear, however, when the family handprint photo was taken.
