The MTV star went on to discuss the nature of the show as well as the details of when and where to find it.
As excited as Teen Mom fans were about the upcoming project they seem equally as interested in how much older and like her father Gary’s daughter appeared.
One fan said, “She’s your mini me! So glad she’s got you as her parent, you are a great dad”
Another commenter agreed, “Can’t wait…and she is so your mini me”.
Most followers seemed to genuinely look forward to show’s premiere.
One macaroni and cheese lover commented: “Please make a video on making mac & cheese that is my favorite.”
Another added” “How awesome!!!! Congrats to you guys for sharing something you enjoy doing together!!! Look forward to tuning in!”
STAND UP GUY ON THE STAND
Gary, who shares daughter Leah with ex Amber Portwood, 31, recently testified in a nasty custody battle between the Teen Mom and another one of her ex’s Andrew Glennon, 37.
In audio of the explosive custody hearing exclusively obtained by The Celeb Report, Gary took the stand to defend Amber.
As The Celeb Report exclusively reported, Amber’s second baby daddy Andrew, wants to move with their son James, 3, to California, which the mother of two, an Indiana native, is fighting to prevent.
Gary, who currently has a positive relationship with Amber despite their volatile past, testified for nearly an hour in Indiana court on March 3 of this year.
The doting dad became emotional as he recalled Amber’s stint in prison during her former battle with drugs.
The Teen Mom dad told the judge: “Amber is a different person now than she was with me, and she is a different person than she was even a year and a half ago.”
“I do notice more positive things. Actually, I am very proud of her. It’s a great responsibility that she has.”
“It’s a different bond with James than she had with Leah,” Gary added, sounding like he was holding back tears.
“Because when Leah was that age, she was in prison and some other things going on with her, and I think that the person she is today is not the person she was then.
NIGHT OUT EQUALS NIGHT OFF
Gary seems to have found peace within his own marriage as the Indiana policeman took to Instagram to celebrate wife, Kristina Anderson’s, “beautiful soul”.
In the post, Kristina, 33, plants a kiss Gary’s cheek before making a silly face in the next photo.

Gary captioned “No Cooking Tonight! Love this girl!…I don’t know how I would do this without you.”
