AceShowbiz - In the September 12 episode of "Teen Mom: The Next Chapter", Amber Portwood (34) opened up about the profound heartache she experienced during her ex-fiance Gary Wayt's (39) disappearance in June.

"This man broke me," Portwood confessed to executive producer Kiki Malone. Despite her stability, the uncertainty about Wayt's whereabouts left her shattered.

Wayt was reported missing from a small town in North Carolina on June 11, but authorities located him three days later. No further updates were provided, and the case was closed.

Portwood's journey has been a tumultuous one since her days on "16 and Pregnant". She has experienced multiple relationships, including a contentious romance with Gary Shirley, with whom she shares daughter Leah.

In an emotional response to online criticism, Portwood defended herself against false accusations that she may have harmed Wayt. "I had to deal with that," she said. "Do you know how that feels when people are calling you a murderer to your f**king fiance?"

During her doctor's appointment, Portwood expressed her severe emotional distress. She described it as a "really bad episode" and admitted to struggling with clear thinking.

"If you want to show what heartbreak is, this is it," she said through tears. "It's not just about a man. He looked at my family, my daughter, and just asked to be a big, happy family."

Portwood's former relationship with Gary Wayt ended in an abrupt engagement. Sources reported that Wayt is now engaged to a new woman. While Portwood sent congratulations, she admitted that she was still reeling from the events.

"Teen Mom: The Next Chapter" explores the relationships and challenges faced by the cast members, including Amber Portwood's search for Gary Wayt and the impact it had on her emotional well-being.
