Teen Mom 3 Star Matt McCann Lines Up a Full-Time Job — With Benefits!

The time has come to check in on everyone's favorite ginger (and his chin-strap): Teen Mom 3's Matt McCann. Fans of MTV have watched Matt transform from a drug-addled moth to a beautiful sober butterfly, but his transition hasn't been easy. Not only was Alexandria Sekella’s baby daddy homeless for a while, he accidentally fell down a cliff and broke all his bones a while back. Yikes!

Fortunately, Matt met the love of his life, Lekota Koch, a few months ago, and this gorgeous gal has helped her man get his life back on track. Thanks to Lekota's non-stop support, Matt has managed to stay sober, reunite with his daughter, Arabella, and even get back into the workforce!

Matt's career journey has been a huge pain, but was definitely worth the agro. "Im not just sitting here doing nothing. Im working on getting my SS card, I just got my birth certificate," Matt tweeted back in July, adding "I need both for an ID so then I can hopefully get a job so that I can support myself, my gf and my daughter."

Now that Matt has all his paperwork in order, he's been able to actively pursue jobs. The dude's been working super-late hours to support his family, but it looks like he's taking things up a notch with an even better gig! "Guess who got a pretty decent paying fulltime job with benefits?!" Matt tweeted on March 1. "This guy!!!"

Matt didn't elaborate on the details of his job, but we can only assume he's a Professional Facial Hair Grower. Congratulations are definitely in order!

Alexandria Sekella Slams Rumors That She's Dating a Guy With a Criminal Past

The internet is buzzing with rumors that Teen Mom 3's Alexandria Sekella has herself a boyfriend. And not just any boyfriend! Word on the street is that she's dating a guy named Peter Gruppo, a Pennsylvania native with some questionable history.

Not only has Peter been charged with institutional vandalism, criminal trespass, and criminal mischief, he was charged with possessing instruments of a crime and corruption of minors. Oh, and he also got kicked off his football team and has a few speeding tickets. Yikes.

Peter doesn't exactly sound like a good romantic fit for notoriously sensible Alex (he hardly seems like stepfather material!), but she's taken it to Twitter to clear things up.

"Just to clear all the BS @WakeUpNow_Pete and I are not currently dating we are good friends who talk n flirt," Alex clarified, adding, "I flirt with a ton of guys I work at a college I'm single am I not allowed to flirt."

Alex can flirt with whoever she pleases, and her private dating life is definitely her business. Then again, Peter does sound like he has some explaining to do … especially when it comes to that "corruption of minors" charge. Sigh, this whole saga makes us think of our shame-spiraling imaginary boyfriend Justin Bieber. What happened to you, buddy?

Do you think Alex should be dating (or flirting with!) someone with such a sordid past? Sound off in the comments.

Alexandria Sekella Dishes on Her Relationship Status: "I Date a Lot"

Teen Mom 3's Alexandria Sekella is living life according to the '90s-style wisdom of Big Pun: "I'm not a playa I just crush a lot."

This former reality star (Teen Mom 3 was cancelled … noooooo!) has been single and ready to mingle since splitting up from her baby daddy, Matthew McCann, but that doesn't mean she's been living the life of a wallflower. Between bringing home the bacon and taking care of her adorable daughter, Alex finds time to casually date. In fact, she dates up a storm.

"I date I date a lot but I refuse to post it all over the internet for everyone to judge," Aex revealed on Ask.fm. "When I am in a real serious relationship I will announce it."

Alex might date a lot, but her requirements for a boyfriend are pretty intense. Not only does she need to find a mature dude who's ready to settle down, she needs a guy who's willing to co-parent her daughter, Arabella. Oh, and there's also the fact that Alex is currently abstinent — which means potential boyfriends won't be seeing any action until they put a ring on it!

Alex hasn't taken it to Twitter to make any formal announcements about her dating life, so we assume that she's keeping things casual for now. Honestly, we don't even know when this busy gal finds time to go out what with her nonstop schedule as a dance instructor and full-time mom!

Alexandria Sekella Starts Co Parenting Classes With Matt McCann

Teen Mom 3 star Alexandria Sekella's life has turned upside down and it's all thanks to her baby daddy, the chin-strapped heart throb known as Matt McCann. Thanks to hardcore drug addiction plus this one really unfortunate time that he fell off a cliff, Matt hasn't exactly been there for Alex. He dropped out of her life shortly after their drama-filled breakup, and until recently he hadn't seen his daughter, Arabella, for a year.

The good news? Matt's sobered up and has a new zest for daddyhood, and he just filed for visitation. This dude gets to see Bellie once a week and every other weekend, and there's nothing Alex can do about it — despite the fact that she's more than a little upset about Matt suddenly taking an interest in their daughter's life.

Now that Matt's in the picture, he and Alex will have to work together to raise their little girl — and you know what that means! Time to co-parent like there's no tomorrow. Alex has officially started co-parenting education classes (COPE), and unfortunately she seems less than thrilled about the experience. "Well let's get this over with COPE," Alex posted to Instagram.

See? Not exactly happy to be there. But at least Alex is trying to give the class a positive spin — she wore bright purple sequined Uggs to lift her spirits!

Hopefully, Alex's COPE classes will help to mend her relationship with Matt. He'll be in her life forever, so they might as well get along! Do you think Alex and her sexy-exy will be able to successfully co-parent their daughter, or are these classes a waste of time?

Alexandria Sekella's Dad Still Can't Accept That She's a Teen Mom

Teen Mom 3 star Alexandria Sekella welcomed a beautiful baby girl into the world on July 18, 2011 — but this celebration of new life didn't go the way Alex had always imagined. Getting pregnant as a teenager was not in the plans, and as a result Alex put aside her dreams of becoming a professional dancer in order to raise Arabella. Thankfully Alex's parents stuck by her side throughout the entire ordeal, though both encouraged her to place Bellie for adoption.

Alex obviously decided to keep Bellie, and to this day Alex's dad, Jim, still has trouble accepting that she opted to raise her kiddo as a single mom. In a new sneak peek clip, Alex and Jim sit down for a father/daughter chat at Arabella's first birthday, and Jim doesn't hold back his feelings.

"I'm still not happy about it," he says. "Don't get me wrong. You know how much I love you and how much I love this baby … I'm still very pissed."

Alex reminds her dad that they can't change the past (ain't that the truth?), and he finally shows a bit of optimism. "We're going to have to make this work," Jim concludes.

Still, he's not convinced that things are going as smoothly as Alex believes. "You're 18 years old and doing the job load of somebody in their 30s," he laments.

No one ever said being a teen mom would be easy, but at least Alex is doing the best she can and taking responsibility.

Do you think Jim is being rational or defeatist? Weigh in below.

Teen Mom 3's Alexandria Sekella Reveals Blood Disorder

This week's episode of Teen Mom 3 was all kinds of dramatic, but Alexandria Sekella took a break from the nonstop drams in her life by heading over to her local tattoo parlor for some celebratory ink. Alex decided to tattoo a giant image of her daughter's footprint on her shoulder, a super painful process that caused her to straight-up pass out.

Yep, one moment Alex was happily getting her tat on, and the next she'd turned pale, started shaking like a leaf, and was slumped over in her chair. The really crazy part? Alex kept getting inked despite passing out!

Fans were obviously concerned to see their favorite starlet suffering from a fainting spell, so Alex took it to Twitter to clear a few things up.

"Worst moment in my life found out I had blood disorder ugh," she tweeted after the episode, confirming that the disorder is what caused her to pass out.

Alex hasn't elaborated about what kind of blood disorder she has, but the good news? It looks like she's in perfect health nowadays, and she confirmed via Twitter that she'll "be fine now."

Phew! Is it just us or do this crop of Teen Mom stars have more health problems than usual? Between worrying about Alex's blood disorder, Matt McCann's bronchitis, and Mackenzie Douthit's diabetes, we're never going to get a good night's sleep! 

Alexandria Sekella's Baby Daddy Claims He Was Illegally Removed From Arabella's Birth Certificate!

Things are heating up between Teen Mom 3's Matt McCann and Alexandria Sekella — and we don't mean in a sexy way. Despite being largely absent from his daughter's life for the past few years, Matt is seeking increased rights now that he's clean and sober. As you might expect, Alex is less than thrilled that Matt suddenly wants in on the action after months of absent parenting, and she doesn't think he stands a chance in the courtroom.

Apparently, Matt's name isn't on Arabella's birth certificate, which could negatively impact his appeal for visitation and custody. The weird part? Matt claims his name was on the birth certificate, and that Alex removed it illegally!

"So I called Vital Statistics today and I got an appointment in Harrisburgh.. Guess whose name was illegally removed from their child's BC?" he tweeted on September 10, adding "It's all good. I'll be getting put back on and it makes her look terrible."

Matt claims he signed an acknowledgement of paternity at the hospital when Bellie was born, but Alex's side of the story is pretty different.

"Ask him did he sign papers in the hospital?" she posted to AskFM. "I can't give his name he actually has to sign for his name to be on it."

So, what does Alex have to say about Matt's claims that his name was illegally removed from the birth certificate?

"If I 'illegally' removed matt from the BC then he can get a copy of my petition to have it done right?" she tweeted. "Haha #lies."

Sigh, looks like we'll have to wait for Alex and Matt's upcoming court date for this issue to be resolved. In the meantime, can't we all just get along?!

Alexandria Sekella Granted Order of Protection Against Her Baby Daddy!

Why do we have the feeling that Alexandria Sekella will bring all kinds of drama to the table during Teen Mom 3? This brunette bombshell is in an ongoing feud with her baby daddy, Matt McCann, and the latest? She's taken out an Order of Protection From Abuse (PFA) against him, ensuring that he can't come near her, or their daughter Arabella.

"Was granted a PFA I'm so happy right now," Alex tweeted on July 19, clarifying that the measure is tantamount to a "restraining order."

Hmmm, considering that Matt hasn't seen Alex in over a year, we're slightly surprised that she felt the need to get a restraining order against him — and so is his girlfriend, Lekota Koch!

"From my understanding what a PFA is, there has to be some form of domestic abuse or fear of domestic abuse,” Lekota tells RadarOnline. “They don’t live together. They have no contact whatsoever. There’s no way that she could have gotten a PFA because there is no contact between them. She has no proof that he has threatened her."

Lekota claims that Alex could have gotten a 24-hour PFA, but even this would have been impossible given that she hasn't been in contact with Matt.

“Yesterday she could have gotten a 24 hour PFA for emergencies only,” Lekota explains. “But she would have to prove that she was in immediate danger, which we didn’t have any contact yesterday so she couldn’t have proved that.”

Alex claims that she got the PFA for her own protection, saying "now I have police behind me of something happens." Meanwhile, Matt and Lekota haven't been formally notified of Alex's PFA, and Lekota isn't in a position to ask for an explanation.

“I would love to ask her but I’m not allowed to have contact with her. I’m not allowed to directly speak to her, so I don’t know," she says. "I am flabbergasted. I don’t understand where this whole PFA came from. It just makes no sense.”

Alex's response to Lekota's claims? "oh I know she's crazy," she tweeted. "obviously doesn't know what she's talking about I got him with all his tweets."

Guess we'll have to wait and see if Matt gets a formal order in the mail, in which case he won't be able to see Alex or Arabella for an entire year!
