‘Teen Mom OG’: Gary Shirley’s Mom And Stepdad Both Sick With Coronavirus

Teen Mom OG Gary Shirley

Teen Mom OG fans heard that Gary Shirley seems very tolerant and caring towards Amber Portwood these days. But, it seems karma’s not good to him right now. His mom tested positive for the coronavirus, and now, his stepdad’s in intensive care. He can’t see either of them, and they quarantined very carefully as his one daughter suffers from an immunodeficiency disorder.

Teen Mom OG – Gary Shirley’s mom probably got coronavirus at work

In early May, TV Shows Ace reported that Gary Shirley actually supports Amber Portwood and they see her quite often. He felt that despite all the drama over her and Andrew Glennon, the kids need her. He seemed very forgiving and understanding, and that sort of attitude seems big of him and great karma. But it never worked out like that for Gary. By Mother’s Day, his mom was already a week into her fight against the coronavirus.

Gary said on Instagram that he thought she took the illness home to his stepdad from work. People reminds readers she works in an “assisted living facility.” Gary helped out as she worked hard and needed rest. They’d drop off food on her doorstep but otherwise stayed well away. While she seems to be on the mend now, the illness takes ages to go away and he still asks fans for prayers for her on his Instagram. But his stepdad, Jody also got very sick about a week after Mother’s Day. The Teen Mom OG star expected he’d also fall ill.
