Along with Bristol Palin, Cheyenne Floyd is one of the two newest additions to the Teen Mom franchise.
Cheyenne had experienced a taste of the spotlight as a result of her role on The Challenge, but she’s never known anything quite like Teen Mom fame.
And it turns out she’s not that crazy about it.
Cheyenne is in a new relationship but she’s going to great lengths to keep the whole thing a secret.
Why? Well, it turns out she’s got some good reasons for keeping this thing on the DL.
Take a look:
New Girl
Cheyenne might be one of the newest additions to the Teen Mom family, but she’s a savvy veteran when it comes to playing the media game.
Old Flame
Throughout much of her time in the Teen Mom spotlight, Cheyenne has been grappling with a tumultuous on/off relationship with Cory Wharton.
On to the Next One
These days, Cheyenne has moved on to a new relationship — and it’s different from her last one in a very big way.
Mystery Man
Despite the fact that fans are clamoring for details about her new dude, Cheyenne had decided to keep his identity under wraps.
But Why?
And what led Cheyenne to this curious decision? Well, it seems all that public pressure may have had an impact on her previous relationship.
Life On the DL
“I think it’s important to take this time to enjoy each another outside of a public eye,†Floyd recently told Life & Style.
Taking It Slow
Cheyenne explained to the tabloid that she feels this approach will allow her and her new man to “get to know each other on a more personal level.”
Sounds Like She’s Thought This Through
“It allows for us to continue to cultivate something genuine and easy-going without the pressures of outside influence,†Floyd continued.
A Joint Decision
Cheyenne went on to note that she and her boyfriend reached this decision together.
Cheyenne’s Plan
“It’s as simple as making sure that we differentiate what we have together and what we allow others to be welcomed into,†she told the magazine.
Getting Serious
One might think that Cheyenne would be wary about commitment after her various messy breakups with Cory — but that doesn’t seem to be the case.
Locking It Down
Asked if she could imagine being with the mystery man for the rest of her life, Floyd replied, “I believe so.â€Â
An Unexpected Response
It seems that response even caught Cheyenne off-guard, as she replied, “It’s crazy that I’ve found myself saying that or even believing it, but this feels different than anything I’ve been involved with before.â€Â
Reason Enough
Things are going so well that Cheyenne plans to keep the relationship on the down-low for the foreseeable future.
A Solid Plan
“Things are going better than I could’ve imagined honestly, and that’s part of the reason I want to keep it this way for now,” she said.
Another Little One
Asked if she could imagine expanding her family with her new dude, Floyd sounded optimistic about the possibility.
One Step At a Time
“It’s definitely crossed my mind,†she told Life & Style. “In lieu of my situation now (as far as coparenting), it’s somewhat been a blessing because I’ve shifted my focus, since Ryder, to really be the best mother that I can be regardless of the circumstances.â€Â
Keeping Her Priorities Straight
“So moving forward, I would want to be settled down and married before welcoming a new addition, in a perfect world,” Cheyenne continued.
Stepmom Material?
As for Cory’s rekindled romance with former girlfriend Taylor Selfridge, Cheyenne seems thoroughly unbothered.
Making It Work
“I’m happy for him if he’s happy, and I’m definitely not devastated,†she recently told Us Weekly.
Remaining Focused
The important thing is that Cheyenne and Cory have a co-parenting relationship that’s been described as “healthy” and “great,” and it doesn’t look like that will be changing anytime soon.
