She reflects on their growing independence and the challenges of guiding teenagers in today’s world. “It’s the little things, like booking their first gynecologist appointments together and having open conversations… that I think will be enough to break the cycle,” Leah says.
Leah wants her daughters to enjoy their youth and focus on personal growth rather than rushing into serious relationships. “I have a hard time accepting the whole relationship thing right now. It’s too young. Have fun, have a social life, strive for your goals,” she shares. Drawing on her own experiences—married twice before 20—Leah hopes to help her girls avoid the same pitfalls.
A Family That Supports Each Other
The episode also highlights family unity. The twins’ father, Corey Simms, joins the celebration, giving the classic “dad rules”: behave, respect boundaries, and keep things age-appropriate. Aleeah’s boyfriend greets both parents politely and presents her with a flower crown, symbolizing the sweet and respectful nature of this milestone.
After the dance, Leah hosted an after-party at home, ensuring her daughters could enjoy the night safely. While Aleeah stayed with friends, Ali preferred a quieter evening, showcasing their individual personalities. “I want them to have fun in a safe environment,” Leah explains.
Overcoming Health Challenges
Ali, now 15, has faced additional hurdles. Diagnosed in 2014 with a rare progressive muscle disease, Leah has supported her through every stage, combining medical care with therapies like equine therapy to strengthen both body and mind. Today, Ali’s determination and growth continue to inspire Leah and viewers alike.
