Amber Portwood’s missing fiancé, Gary Wayt, was seen on video surveillance in Oklahoma on Wednesday, Bryson City Police confirmed to Page Six.
We’re told police got a notification that his license plate was on the highway and got a video of him driving his car in the Sooner State — hundreds of miles from where he was last seen with the “Teen Mom” star in North Carolina.
Additionally, a Verizon store in Oklahoma also confirmed to authorities that he was there. It’s unclear if he purchased anything.
Page Six reached out to Portwood for comment but didn’t immediately hear back.
On Tuesday, Portwood, 34, admitted she was “worried” about Wayt after he was reported missing the day prior.
“This is a huge deal, his parents, everybody is very worried. I am worried,” the MTV star told Elle Bee on YouTube.
“There was not a big blowout fight or anything like that, OK? He is a missing person right now.”
Portwood shared that Wayt, 39, left the North Carolina residence where they were staying without his phone and was later spotted alone at Walgreens on Sunday.
The mom of two added that Wayt took his keys and wallet with him but he doesn’t have a GPS in his car to find his way around.
“We are in the mountains,” she explained. “He has never driven in the mountains. We are very scared right now.”
The “Never Too Late” author then became emotional as she shared that no one had heard from her fiancé “in three days.”
She also denied reports that they got into an “explosive argument” before he left.
“I am not what people have been saying about me all of these years,” Portwood added, seemingly referring to past reports about her alleged violent past.
“I changed a long time ago, OK, you have to understand this. Please listen to what I am saying, I am an honest person to you guys.”
However, Portwood did share that they had an “emotional” conversation about Wayt’s “parents being Vietnamese” and who she is.
On Tuesday, Bryson police posted that Wayt was missing on their Facebook page.
“Missing person GARY R. WAYT. 39 yrs old. 6’01” 205 pounds bald with brown eyes, last seen 06/09/2024 on Arlington Ave. area of Bryson City NC,” they wrote.
Authorities said Wayt was driving a 2009 grey SUV Nissan Rouge with Indiana license plates. They asked for anyone with information to contact Chief Robinson or Assistant Chief Dover.
In June 2024, news surfaced that Portwood and Wayt got engaged after meeting through a dating app the year prior.
She is mom to daughter Leah, 15, with ex Gary Shirley and son James, 6, whom she shares with ex Andrew Glennon.
In 2022, Portwood lost custody of her second child following a heated altercation with his father.
