During part two of the Teen Mom: The Next Chapter reunion, Leah was grilled about her split from Jaylan.

The star was not able to say much due to a legal agreement between her and her ex, however, she was able to give some context.

Leah began by admitting: "A breakup sucks. I’m hurt, I’m sad, but I’m also not going to fall victim to my circumstances. So I’m gonna move forward. I’m gonna go through the emotions. I’m gonna get through it and at the end of the day I think we all have a story to tell, and it’s on our time to tell our stories."

She confirmed that she was not unfaithful to Jaylan, nor did he uncover anything about her, saying: "No, I didn't cheat."

In fact, the star told hosts Dr. Drew Pinksky and Nessa that whatever the cause for their split, it was not on her.

She added: "I think eventually he'll share. ... But it's not for me to."

Leah said that she did not try to talk Jaylan out of leaving her after whatever caused their breakup, adding that she "had questions" and was "so confused."

She said she questioned to herself: "Have we been living a lie the year and a half?"

The star added, however, that viewers "should have empathy" for Jaylan.

She confirmed to Dr. Drew that the cause for their split has something to do with Jaylan and is not something about him that can be changed.

Leah then cryptically added: "How am I supposed to have a romantic relationship with you that doesn’t exist?”

Ask whether their romance was genuine or not, Leah said: “I think Jaylan genuinely loves us … at the capacity that he knows how to love.”

Leah also revealed on the reunion set that her kids "still want Jay to be able to come around."

She said on the show: "We still love him."
