TEEN Mom star Kiaya Elliot’s baby daddy X’zayveon Gambrell was all smiles in a new mugshot as he was released from prison after four-years behind bars.
A Department of Corrections official exclusively revealed to The Celeb Report that X’zayveon, 21, was released from the Pocahontas State Correctional Center on May 9th and he’s currently out on parole and under supervision in Virginia.
Kiaya, 21, gave birth to their son Amour, 4, after X’zayveon was already in custody on charges of receiving a stolen firearm, felony possession of weapon/ammo (not a gun) and possession of marijuana with intent to distribute.
He was sentenced to five-years behind bars and was denied parole in 2019 because of his “extensive criminal record, and serious nature and circumstances of offenses,” according to RadarOnline.
The parole board added that they had concluded he “should serve more of your sentence prior to release on parole” and “the board concludes you to be a risk to the community.”
His release date was set for January 9, 2023, but he was released early.

X’zayveon’s release was just in time for him to make an appearance in the upcoming season of Young & Pregnant, as was evident in the trailer for the upcoming season that Kiaya shared to her Instagram account.
In an emotional clip, the MTV star was shown looking on as X’zayveon and their son shared an emotional embrace as they reunited after his release.
The Teen Mom star captioned the clip on her Instagram: “We’ve missed you guys!! That’s why I’m sooo excited that Teen Mom: Young & Pregnant is returning for an all-new season on MY BIRTHDAY Tuesday, June 28th.”
KIAYA’S OWN ARREST
Last year, Kiaya found herself in her own legal troubles after she was reportedly arrested on three assault and gun charges.
The 21-year-old poked fun at her mugshot in a TikTok clip and explained that the arrest happened while she was in the middle of taking out her cornrows.
The TV personality was arrested after a fight allegedly broke out at a party in Virginia on March 21, The Ashley’s Reality Round-Up reported.
Kiaya reportedly got involved in the altercation while attending the bash with her on-off girlfriend Teazha.
“A guy eventually jumped into the fight and Kiaya claimed he pulled out a gun and pointed it at her,” a source told the outlet.
“Kiaya wasn’t really injured, but she did file charges against the guy for assault and battery and for pointing a gun at her.”
The man was arrested and is due in court next month for the charges.
It appears that the guy filed an assault charge on Kiaya a few days after his arrest.
Another woman also filed an assault charge against the MTV star, and accused her of pointing/brandishing a gun at him.
Kiaya was arrested on March 25 and later bailed out for $3,500.
She joked about the arrest in a TikTok, filming herself laughing and covering her face.
