REMEMBERING LAILAH
Olivia, 31, has most recently been living in Naples, Florida with her two children, but is from North Carolina.
She has sole custody of Kaden after a court battle with Teen Mom alum David in 2019.
David, who recently finalized his divorce from Jenelle Evans, is not the father of Lailah.
Though she was once active on social media, Olivia has not spoken out since the horrific tragedy of losing Lailah.
According to an obituary, Lailah will be mourned at a funeral service on June 14 in North Carolina.
“Lailah’s light touched everyone,” the obituary reads.
“Her kindness, encouragement, and joyful heart were gifts she freely gave.
“She reminded us all what it means to love, to cherish, and to be present with one another.”
SECOND HORRIBLE TRAGEDY
Olivia’s horrific loss comes after another tragedy in the Teen Mom world.
16 & Pregnant star Whitney Purvis’ son Weston Gosa died at just 16 years old earlier this month.
“Life is so cruel and unfair. I just don’t understand,” wrote Whitney, who appeared on the show in 2009.
“My baby is gone and I don’t know what to do with myself.”
Weston’s stepmother Amy Gosa exclusively told The U.S. Sun that the teen suffered from many serious health issues, including type 1 diabetes, Addison’s disease and Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency.
“He had several health issues, so we’re thinking it was an underlying issue we didn’t know about,” Amy said, shutting down rumors Weston died from a drug overdose.
“It’s very hurtful seeing all the comments saying he died from fentanyl.”
