Did Teen Mom’s Cory Wharton Cheat on Taylor Selfridge? Inside ‘Family Reunion’ Confession

Taylor Selfridge and Cory Wharton have shared an on and off relationship since leaving as a couple in 2017 on MTV’s Ex on the Beach. While the pair have had their fair share of obstacles — including Cory coming home to news that he may have fathered a child with Cheyenne Floyd — they’re facing another one upon their debut on Teen Mom: Family Reunion: infidelity.

Did Teen Mom’s Cory Wharton Cheat on Taylor Selfridge?

Cory admitted to previously cheating on Taylor. His confession came during a therapy session on the March 20, 2024, episode of Teen Mom: Family Reunion.

The reality star said that the infidelity happened “six years” prior and that he had not been unfaithful since Taylor gave birth to their two daughters. Despite how long it had been, Cory noted that his past actions were still taking a “toll” on his partner.

“I don’t trust him when he drinks,” Taylor admitted. “I don’t trust the way he acts when he drinks. I don’t trust his friends.” Cory insisted that he never “does anything” and pointed out that he “always come[s] home” to his girlfriend. However, she wasn’t convinced that the past wouldn’t repeat itself.

“You are f–king belligerent every time and that’s what scares me,” she explained. “It’s you being in that state of mind where you’re barely coherent and then you doing something.”

Cory admitted that his wanting to go out and party with his friends was “selfish” but said that he didn’t “know how to change that” about himself. However, they had a productive conversation with their relationship coach.

When Did Cory and Taylor Get Back Together?

Shortly after Ex on the Beach filming wrapped in 2017, Cory learned he may have fathered a child with his The Challenge: Rivals II costar Cheyenne. Cory’s paternity of Cheyenne’s daughter, Ryder, wasn’t confirmed until the infant was six months old.

“Once I found out I had a kid, my whole life changed. It’s a feeling inside of yourself that there’s a bigger purpose,” the MTV personality told Us Weekly in December 2017. “Now I’m doing everything for my daughter, instead of for myself. I had to put somebody before myself for the first time. I feel like I’ve got my power pack, like I’m untouchable with my kid. I have her and that’s all the love I need in the world. It gave me a sense of purpose. I never thought I could love anybody more than myself and I do!”

Taylor and Cory’s relationship could not withstand the drama and the duo called it quits, with the new dad hinting there was a possibility for romance with the mother of his child.

“I think that we can be together, but right now’s not the time,” Cory told Dr. Drew Pinsky during the Teen Mom OG reunion which aired in January 2019. “I’m not gonna lead her on and then not be ready to marry her.”

However, one month after the reunion aired, Cory and Taylor surprised viewers by revealing they were giving their relationship another try.

“Mexico here we come,” they shared in their Instagram Stories in February 2019, noting that they were on a “baecation.”
