The former 16 and Pregnant star’s cause of death is currently unknown. 

The Celeb Report can exclusively reveal Jordan’s fiance and baby daddy, Michael Schaffer, died on September 9, 2021. 

According to Michael’s obituary, the Maryland native was survived by his “beloved fiancée-in-love, Jordan Cashmyer, and daughter, Lyla Nalani Schaffer.”

Michael was described as an “extremely loyal and devoted father, partner, son, brother and friend.”

The obituary continued: “He was a bright light in the lives of everyone he knew, and he brought great joy and warmth to everyone he met with his one-of-a-kind sense of humor, and his generous and respectful nature. 

“He had a profound passion for his work and career as a chef, both at home cooking for family as well as at work in world-class fine dining restaurants. Michael was also a spiritual man, and he believed in the virtue of loving people unconditionally. He will be missed forever.”

The family requested donations be given to National Alliance on Mental Illness.

Michael’s sister also set up a GoFundMe for Jordan and Lyla. 

The page, which raised $7,899, read: “In life things happen in which we have no control. Mike’s time on this earth has ended. Mike was so in love with Jordan and having Lyla was the highlight of his life. I hope we all help Jordan to lay Mike to rest without having to worry about a financial burden. Thank you.”

The Maryland Coroner’s Office was unavailable to confirm the cause of death to The Celeb Report.

Police also found two hypodermic syringes and a burnt spoon.

The report claimed the syringes and spoon were used for heroin. 

She was arrested again on June 20, 2017 for two counts of possession of not marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

BABY DADDY DRAMA

Jordan gave birth to daughter Genevieve with baby daddy Derek Taylor on MTV’s 16 and Pregnant.

Genevive had been in the care of Derek and his mother because of Jordan’s struggle with addiction.  

Derek commented on her passing, though the two were clearly on bad terms at the time of her death despite her recent sobriety. 

When someone commented that they are sorry for Derek and Genevieve’s loss, he responded over Twitter: “We didn’t lose anything.”
