Cory Wharton and Taylor Selfridge Split After 9 Years: Inside the Teen Mom Breakup

Cory Wharton and Taylor Selfridge have officially ended their relationship after nine years together. Cory announced the split on Instagram on Thursday, October 8, apologizing to Taylor and saying his focus is now on their two daughters, Mila, 6, and Maya, 3. Taylor later confirmed she made the decision to leave, sharing that she was tired of not getting basic respect from the person she spent nine years with.

The breakup follows a rocky stretch for the couple. In September, Cory publicly apologized for crossing boundaries with The Challenge castmate Izzy Fairthorne, and fans had also watched past infidelity conversations play out on Teen Mom. Cory and Taylor first met in November 2017 while filming MTV’s Ex On the Beach, so their entire relationship unfolded on camera in front of a deeply invested audience.

Now Cory and Taylor are entering a brand-new chapter as co-parents. Cory also shares daughter Ryder, 9, with ex Cheyenne Floyd, so there are several family dynamics to balance. Fans are already flooding social media with reactions, and it’s clear this one hit a lot of people harder than your average celebrity split. What do you think about how this all ended?
