Cory Wharton is certainly not one to turn down the opportunity for more camera time, even if he has to be the one manning the camera!
People magazine announced today that the Teen Mom OG dad will be starring in a ‘Teen Mom’ special with his girlfriend Taylor Selfridge, set to air next month.
The special— which was filmed entirely by Cory & Co., due to production on all ‘Teen Mom’ shows being shut down due to the global pandemic— will showcase the end of Taylor’s pregnancy, as well as Cory and Taylor adapting their birth plan to fit safety requirements. It will also show the birth of their daughter, Mila, who arrived on April 22.
In a sneak peek clip, Cory comforts Taylor as she worries that Cory won’t be allowed in the delivery room during Mila’s birth.
Although Cory was allowed to be in the room for Mila’s birth, due to strict social distancing rules in California, Cory’s other daughter, Ryder, and their family members were not allowed to be present for the birth. Mila arrived healthy, weighing in at 9 lbs, 5 oz.
“With their home state of California under a strict shelter-in-place order, the couple must figure out how to quarantine together and adapt their labor plans,” People reports.
Since all ‘Teen Mom’ producers and crew have been grounded since mid-March, they were not part of the filming process. (The show’s editors continue to work from home.)
“It’s a self shot episode!” Cory tells the camera proudly.
The short sneak peek clip also shows Taylor in labor, pushing out Mila (because…’Teen Mom’…) and Ryder finally meeting her baby sister.
‘Teen Mom OG At Home: Cory & Taylor’s Birth Special” is set to air Tuesday, June 9 on MTV.
Watch the sneak peek clip below!

Maybe it’s just because I feel that I had a traumatic experience birthing my baby 7 months ago, but it makes me feel all sorts of uncomfortable thinking about thousands of people getting to witness you at your most vulnerable and painful time being half naked birthing a child. No thank you.
I have no interest in seeing Taylot squeeze out Cory’s crochfruit but I would listen to Jay do the DVD commentary.
I can’t help but wonder whether their “celebrity reality show” status enabled Cory to be able to be in the delivery room. I’ve read so many heartbreaking stories of women whose full term babies died at birth and their husbands weren’t allowed to be with their wives. Or fathers sitting in the parking lot of a hospital waiting for a text from their wife that their child was born & healthy.
@Gemma– Currently in LA County and most of California, partners are allowed in the delivery room. Some hospitals are not allowing partners in the operating room if the woman has to have a C-section, though. -The Ashley
I’m actually happy to hear that! At least there moms can have their partners are supportive loved ones there. It’s very difficult to go through it alone.
Now I know a lot of people are bored during lockdown, but nobody’s bored enough to watch this ffs.
If you thought I was gonna let a little pandemic stop me from getting my face on TV, you’re crazy!
Hahaha
Ugh, famewhores. I can’t stand how they acted when Cory was preparing to leave. Like he was going to Iraq to serve his country, poor Cory, be safe, Daddy’s leaving for work. While he’s just competing in a stupid ass MTV show, and has no real job. Sorry, not sorry, “insta influencer” is not a real job. Same goes for Taylor.
Well… it’s a job if it pays the bills. We are just the people they (company paying them) capitalize on.
