Leah Messer brings in over $300,000 a season on Teen Mom 2.  But while she’s been rolling in cash, her new boyfriend Jason Jordan once struggled financially. Breaking Celebrity News can exclusively reveal Jordan filed for bankruptcy in 2002.

In papers obtained from the United Bankruptcy Court Southern District of West Virginia, Jordan filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy on April 25, 2002.

At the time, he owed creditors $43, 071.17

His debts included $10,000 for his 1998 Pontiac Grand Am, $33,071,71 in credit card bills and loans, and more.

Jordan, 39, who was 23 at the time of the filing, was employed as a waiter at Texas Steakhouse for only three weeks. He earned $1,700 in 2000 and $800 in 2001.

He had total monthly expenses of $1,031 despite earning $0 a month at the time.

The case was discharged on August 6, 2002.

The two-time divorcee debuted her new man on social media on the Fourth of July. The Ashley’s Reality Roundup identified him and reported that they have been dating for months.

Jordan is father to a son named Raylan and lives in West Virginia near Messer.

He has already met her children, as he has been photographed playing at the beach with her daughters Ali and Aleeah, 8, with ex-husband Corey Simms, and Adalynn, 4, with ex-husband Jeremy Calvert.
