Despite their insistence that things are done, Leah and Jeremy keep sparking rumors with their couple-y behavior. When Dr. Drew noticed the parents’ flirty quips during the reunion, he flat out asked the formerly married couple, “Are you guys rekindling your relationship?”
It was immediately apparent how embarrassed they were and they avoided answering the question. “This is just how we are,” Leah said. “We don’t flirt. We just… talk.”
Jeremy added, “Me and Leah have a very healthy relationship.” But that wasn’t enough for Dr. Drew.
He revisited the topic, demanding, “I’ve asked you now multiple times: Do you harbor any feelings for each other? Is this relationship being rekindled?” The couple’s silent response said it all.
“I feel like we just get along!” Leah finally said defensively.
Jeremy groaned, “This is f–king awkward.” Jeremy and Leah never confirmed that they’re dating again, but they also refused to say that they weren’t.

“I think the silence says whatever it says, and people can draw their own conclusions,” pointed out Dr. Drew. “But if you want to leave the silence to stand, so be it.”
Jeremy immediately replied: “So be it!”
For months, their refusal to respond was the closest thing to an answer from Leah and Jeremy. Fans frantically tried to figure out the status of the co-parents based on all the conflicting signs.
Leah finally gave an inside scoop on the couple’s complicated situation to Kailyn on her podcast. On getting back together, Leah stated bluntly, “No…I think he knows that. I mean, we’re friends and we get along great for Addie.” She eventually added, “I guess at first maybe I considered [getting back with Jeremy]… why not try it again for Addie’s sake’ but at the end of the day we weren’t happy. We didn’t do well together but we do great as friends.”
