Inside Teen Mom Kailyn Lowry’s inner circle featuring nanny Natalie and BFF Bone as star ices out ex-BFF Leah Messer
KAILYN Lowry's circle of friends is shrinking amid an ugly feud with Teen Mom 2 co-star Leah Messer.
The reality star has made no secret that she keeps her circle tight.
Teen Mom 2 fans were shocked to see that Kailyn, 30, recently unfollowed Leah, 29, on social media.
The pair had been very close for years, even vacationing together in the past, so the move seemed unusual.
Per an insider: "Kail unfollowing Leah comes down to Briana.
"Once Briana and Leah were on the Teen Mom Family Reunion and Leah wasn't mean to Briana, that didn't sit well with Kail."

The source went on: "It should be noted that Leah did walk away when Kail was brought up and made Briana aware she didn't want to discuss Kail as she's friends with her but Leahs was still nice to Briana."
With Leah ousted as her BFF, Kailyn has turned to her other gal pals for support.
She is known to be close with her nanny, Natalie, and her BFF Bone.

Bone, meanwhile, came to her defense amid drama between Kailyn and Briana.
Here's what you need to know about the reality star's gal pals.
TIGHT-KNIT
Kailyn has been open about the fact that she is selective about who she lets in and doesn't want to "make new friends."
In 2021, she discussed her philosophy on friendship on her Coffee Convos podcast, which she co-hosts with Lindsie Chrisley.
Kailyn confessed that she has "very few friendships" she views as worthy of putting time and effort into.
She explained: "I was struggling for a long time with separating friendships from acquaintances – like, everyone was my friend.
"Whereas now, I don't feel obligated to answer certain text messages, I don't feel obligated to give certain people my new phone number.
"I don't care to even have, like, small talk, maybe that sounds really rude and I don't mean for it to be offensive, I just don't want to make new friends.
"I can make new acquaintances but there's very few friendships that I actually invest my time in."
KRISTEN HOOK
After narrowing down who's a friend and who's an acquaintance, Kailyn began spending a majority of her time with her podcast co-host Lindsie and pal Kristen Hook.
Kristen isn't just Kailyn's friend, she's her assistant.
The pair have appeared together in photos on social media, and Kristen occasionally posts only about Kailyn.
Kristen has not posted about or with the MTV star , however.

She, Chris and her best friend Shirley dancing together.
Then, on her Instagram Story she posted what appeared to be a direct message exchange with Kailyn's pal Bone.
Bone appeared to share a portion of the Florida native's earlier stories containing texts between her and Javi Marroquin, to which Briana replied: "Missed u, where have u been?
"Glad u have her back again, she needs a friend.
"Maybe I'll see u at the reunion next month."
Bone responded: "See you there."
In another Instagram Story slide, Briana wrote: "If you really didn't care you wouldn't post about me so I'm a little flattered.
"Love you bestie!
"Thanks for trying to paint this nasty narrative on me but it's just not gonna work.
"Stop doing things out of malice."
Bone and Kailyn often spend time together, even bringing the kids along as they pal around.
