TEEN Mom Leah Messer was praised for looking "happy and healthy" in new photos days after she was labeled as "unrecognizable."
Fans were happy to see Leah with her new boyfriend Jaylan Mobley, but hated to see that her appearance was so altered by a heavy filter.
In Leah's latest post, the Teen Mom 2 star smiled cheerfully in a festive, red and white Christmas sweater.
Leah, 29, glowed as one of her daughters reached up to cup her cheeks.
She posed in front of a Christmas tree and showed off a fancy silver new watch.
Leah's long dark locks were worn in curls and the reality star wore a full face of makeup.
Fans poured in the comments as one wrote: "You look stunning and happy," as a second agreed, "So happy for you!"
A third posted: "Happy looks good on you."

Her twin girls, Ali and Aleeah, 12, and her youngest child, Addie, eight, posed with their dog for the adorable snap.
The entire group had huge smiles on their faces as they posed together in front of the Christmas tree.
The star captioned the post: "Merry Merry Christmas!"
In the first Instagram Story, Jaylan and Leah filmed themselves while they were inside their car.
The TV star could have been using a filter because her cheeks were perked up in makeup and her eyes appeared to be blue-ish.
The Dan+Shay song, Officially Christmas, played in the background.

One wrote: "That filter makes her unrecognizable. She doesn’t need a filter."

A third fan added, "His eyes look tiny!" while another chimed in, "She’s unrecognizable with that filter."

Leah captured the outing on her Instagram Stories where in one clip he sang a Christmas song with her and her kids.

Ali had picked the "very fluffy" tree while Aleeah chose the "tin foil" one.
Aleeah said: "Look at Jay! He wants that one!"
While hiding behind a tree, Jay replied: "I'm going to be Mr. Grinch!"
When the group returned to the car, Leah mentioned that Ali wanted "to name the Christmas tree."
Jaylan then named Ali "the cutest Grinch."
Aleeah mentioned the name Bob for the Christmas tree, which Jaylan also agreed with.
