Teen Mom’s Cory Wharton and daughters Ryder, 4, & Mila, 1, pose as pirates after his emotional return from The Challenge
TEEN Mom OG star Cory Wharton and daughters Ryder, 4, and Mila, 1, posed as pirates.
The 30-year-old shared the sweet snaps after his emotional return from The Challenge.
The family members looked adorable in matching pirate costumes as Cory read the girls the children’s book Grace and the Gravy Pirates.
Cory, Ryder and Mila matched in white tops, black vests and red and black striped bottoms, while the MTV star took to look one step farther by donning a black eyepatch.
Alongside the sweet photos, Cory wrote: “Who said we can’t dress up for Thanksgiving too?!
“While you spend time with your family this Thanksgiving, I highly recommend keeping things a little more interesting by downloading this e-book.
“You can even watch Grace and the Gravy Pirates take their maiden voyage during the 95th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.”
Cory shares Ryder with ex Cheyenne Floyd, 29, while he shared Mila with girlfriend Taylor Selfridge, 27.
CORY'S HOMECOMING
He shared the pirate-themed photos after he posted a clip of his emotional reunion with Ryder when he returned home from filming The Challenge.
In the tear-jerking clip, the Teen Mom OG star held up a sign that said: "Daddy's home Mooch! I missed you Ryder K!"
Ryder was so happy to see her absent father as she screamed and rushed over to hug him.
The two dropped to the ground and rolled over together while sharing kisses.
As the duo bumped their foreheads together, Cory said: "I'm back."
He had returned to his young daughter after being gone for two and a half months to film the other MTV show.
Corey captioned the clip: "This is when I got to surprise Ryder from coming home from The Challenge."
THE CHALLENGE EXIT
The reality star recently explained his reasoning for leaving MTV's The Challenge by sharing a sweet snap of himself with Ryder.
In the photo, the two were blowing air at the dandelion that she had picked up.
When he asked what she wished for, Ryder said: "I hope you don’t go back on The Challenge."
Cory captioned the post: "I knew that I needed to take a break from the show."
While referring to Mila, he said: "If my little four-year-old is sitting there telling me: 'Daddy, I don’t want you to go and my other one-year-old could barely even recognize me when I came home from double agents, that’s a sign."
The MTV star realized he needed to create memories "with my family and my daughters," and not just for the show.
