The Teen Mom star clarified that there "was not a big blowout fight or anything like that" between her and her boyfriend, before admitting that they had "a discussion" before he left the house.

"Nobody was heated or anything, it was emotional because it had something to do with the fact of his parents being Vietnamese and me being who I am," Portwood said. "He was very upset about this, I was upset. We do not yell at each other, we do not hurt each other."

She added that when Wayt left, "he took his keys and he took his wallet but he did not take his phone."

"We are very in love. This man asked me to be with him, this man then asked me to marry him," she said, before issuing a plea to the public: "Please, if anybody sees him or hears anything, please, I am begging all of you guys."

"I am praying for anybody that sees him. Nobody has found him or heard from him yet."
