According to one source, Ames responded to viewers online to give everyone a more thorough update. Ames reported that she and boyfriend Scott, whom she moved in with on the MTV program, are in fact still a couple. After getting pregnant, the religious Ames decided to return to a life of abstinence until she was married, which created some conflict between her and Scott. "Sex is a very important thing to me... that's why I'm waiting [until marriage]."
Ames also announced that she and Scott plan to marry in July and that her relationship with Scott has improved significantly since he became more involved with their six-month-old son, Dayton. "Scott's a good daddy and is getting much better," said Ames, "Him and Dayton have a great relationship now! It just took him a while to come around!"
