Addie, the couple’s 11-year-old daughter, recently had a ganglion cyst removed — a common, usually non-cancerous bump that appears near joints or tendons. Though the procedure is considered routine, any surgery can be stressful, especially for a child. Leah and Jeremy, however, set aside all differences to be by her side as a united front.
The former couple, who were married from 2012 to 2015, have had a rocky relationship over the years. Fans of Teen Mom 2 watched their ups and downs play out on screen — from moments of tenderness to periods of miscommunication and frustration. But over time, both Leah and Jeremy have matured in their co-parenting journey, consistently showing up for Addie when it matters most.
On the night of the surgery, Leah shared a sweet moment on Instagram, capturing Addie in good spirits before the procedure. Jeremy was also present, offering support and reassurance. It was a reminder of the quiet victories in parenting — moments where love for your child trumps everything else.
Fans flooded the comment section with supportive messages, praising both Leah and Jeremy for showing maturity and prioritizing Addie’s emotional needs. Many noted how comforting it must be for Addie to have both parents together during a potentially scary experience.
Leah, who is also a mother to twins Ali and Aleeah from a previous relationship, has always emphasized the importance of family unity and healing from the past. This latest chapter in her co-parenting journey with Jeremy speaks volumes about their shared commitment to Addie’s well-being.
Though they may not be together romantically, Leah and Jeremy’s actions show what healthy co-parenting can look like — especially when a child’s health and peace of mind are at stake.
As Addie recovers, fans can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that she is surrounded by love — and that even in complicated family dynamics, moments of grace and togetherness can still shine through.
