Corey Simms

Teen Mom Husbands, Boyfriends, and Baby Daddies Ranked: Who’s #1?

Emily Trainham Adam Lind

So how great are all those guys on Teen Mom, huh?! Such remarkable specimens of manhood, every one of them, filled to the brim with integrity, compassion, and grace.

… Wait, like 85% of them are completely terrible human beings?

Well, huh.

Sure, some of them baby daddies are awful, but some of the aren’t! Some of them are kind of OK, and a few are even great!

Check out our ranking of all the Teen Mom fellas, from best to worst.

And prepare to be amazed, as always, at the level of awfulness on this show.

1. Cole DeBoer

Cole DeBoer is Chelsea Houska’s husband, and thank goodness for that. He’s a wonderful stepfather to Aubree (and he’s made it clear that he’s ready to adopt her if/when Adam gives up his parental rights for her like he did with his other child), he and Chelsea have two precious babies together and one on the way, and ever since he first came on the show, he’s been perfect.

He’s an easy number one, y’all.

2. Taylor McKinney

Taylor McKinney is Maci Bookout’s husband, and they share two children together, Jayde and Maverick — and they’re often talking about having more, whether it’s through more pregnancies or fostering and adoption. They’re also raising Bentley, the son Maci had with Ryan Edwards, and it’s safe to say that Taylor is doing all the heavy dad lifting there, too. Like, he coaches Bentley’s little league team, how sweet is that? And sure, Taylor drinks Bud Light like it’s water and he’s in a desert, but he’s an amazing father.

3. Jo Rivera

Jo Rivera is the father of Kailyn Lowry’s oldest son, Isaac, and he also shares a daughter named Vivi with his wife, Vee. Jo and Kailyn dated when they were teenagers, but it wasn’t long before they realized they were terrible together. They struggled with coparenting for a good few years, and sometimes they still struggle, but for the most part they’ve managed to put all their personal issues aside for the sake of Isaac. Also, Jo still lets Isaac hang out with Javi, his ex-stepdad, and how understanding is that? That’s something a good dad would do for sure.

4. Tyler Baltierra

Tyler Baltierra has been with Catelynn Lowell since they were 12 years old (yes, literally), and when she got pregnant at 16, they placed their daughter up for adoption. They’ve since had two more children, daughters Nova and Vaeda, and they’ve been through just a lot of stuff together. He can be pretty insensitive sometimes, but it’s clear that he loves being a father and spending time with his girls. You love to see it.

5. Gary Shirley

Let’s just say it: Gary was not great in the early days of Teen Mom. He never did anything to deserve being abused by Amber, to be clear, but he was kind of a jerk. Fortunately he’s matured a bit over the years, and he seems like a great father to Leah and Emilee, the daughter he shares with wife Kristina. And thank goodness for that, because Leah in particular needs a whole lot of stability with Amber for a mom.

6. Corey Simms

Corey Simms was married to Leah Messer, and they had twins Ali and Gracie. They got divorced when Leah couldn’t stay faithful to him (and also because they had twins and got married when they were teenagers), but Corey’s been a good father, and a good coparent with Leah. He’s just a good ol’ boy, y’all.

Leah Messer SLAMS Corey Simms on Teen Mom 2 Reunion: He’s Never There For His Kids!

Tyler Johnson Corey Simms

Just when it looked like Leah Messer’s life was beginning to settle down a bit, she goes and launches another feud with one of her baby daddies.

Of course, these days, Leah is getting along with Jeremy Calvert, so it’s Corey Simms’ turn to have some shade thrown his way.

Leah and Jeremy took the stage together during Tuesday night’s Teen Mom 2 Season 9B Reunion special (they really need to start simplifying the titles of these things).

Viewers probably thought the interview would focus on Jeremy and Leah’s recent hookups, but to the surprise of many, the former couple chose to spend their time trashing her first husband and his wife.

Needless to say, Corey was less than pleased, and he made his feelings very clear on Facebook.

Take a look:

1. Dueling Exes

Leah Messer had some unkind words for Corey Simms during last night’s Teen Mom 2 reunion. And Corey was very quick to clap back at his ex on Twitter.

2. The Corey Story

Corey, of course, is Leah’s first husband and the father of her twin daughters, Ali and Aleeah.

3. The Name Shame

So Corey was presumably complicit in giving the twins what is essentially the same freakin’ name, but hey — he was young. We’ll forgive him.

4. Back At It

Corey and Leah certainly had their ups and downs over the years, but we assumed they’d more or less settled their differences as of late. How wrong we were …

5. Not Mincing Words

During his interview segment on last night’s reunion show, Jeremy absolutely unloaded on Corey in brutal fashion.

6. Tell Us What You REALLY Think!

“We get along but I just don’t agree with some s–t,” Calvert began, before revealing that there’s actually quite a lot of sh-t he doesn’t agree with.

He’s an easy number one, y’all.

They’ve since had two more children, daughters Nova and Vaeda, and they’ve been through just a lot of stuff together. He can be pretty insensitive sometimes, but he’s proven that he’s one of the best dads and husbands in the whole franchise.

Fortunately he’s matured a bit over the years, and he seems like a great father to Leah and Emilee, the daughter he shares with wife Kristina. And thank goodness for that, because it looks like Amber may be headed back to prison soon.

5. Andrew Glennon

Oh, Andrew … where do we begin? He loses points for his history of restraining orders, but the way he’s stepped up for baby James after Amber’s horrifying meltdown in July is definitely commendable. Since the arrest, we’ve heard plenty of evidence that’s proved that she’d been abusing him for nearly a year before the July assault, and Andrew has said that she’d even been rough with James, too. It looks like he’s placing James’ safety and wellbeing above all else, and if that’s not being a good dad, what is?
