LEAH Messer’s ex Corey Simms has been spotted pushing his daughter, Ali, in a wheelchair during a holiday-themed bash.
Ali, 13, continues to deal with her major health battle as she was diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy in 2014.

Fans have seen Ali get diagnosed, tagged along on doctor’s appointments, and watched her try out different assistive technology, like a power wheelchair, on Teen Mom.
Tintin Myotonic MD is a rare form of progressive weakness disease that had existed in less than 20 cases around the world at the time of her diagnosis.
LOOK AT HER GO
In a new video posted on Corey’s, 34, father, Jeff’s Instagram page, the former Teen Mom star pushed his daughter in a wheelchair as she played the clarinet in her school’s Christmas parade.
The teen wore a festive Santa Claus hat while her wheelchair was decked out in holiday-themed decorations.
Jim captioned his post with: “Ali participated with her school marching band in the local Christmas parade!”
In the comment section, one fan asked why Ali wasn’t able to use her electric chair during the parade.
Jeff explained that she wouldn’t be able to play her clarinet and control the chair at the same time.
‘SO BEAUTIFUL!’
Meanwhile, others praised Corey for helping out his young daughter.
One wrote: “This is so beautiful to see. I love that he was there to make sure she got to be apart of it still!!”
“[Corey] has always been such a good guy and dad,” a second added.
A third said: “That’s awesome Ali! Sounds great!”
“She is killin!!!! Nothing stop that girl!! I can only imagine what its like watching her grown from the inside,” exclaimed a fourth.
A fifth commented: “Corey is a #girldad through and through!”
PROUD DAD
Over the summer, Jeff posted two photos of Corey, Ali, and her twin sister, Aleeah, as they competed in a horse riding competition.
The two teenage girls wore their riding attire, consisting of pants and a long-sleeved button-up shirt.
They had their long hair slicked back in matching buns as they smiled at the camera.

Corey was proud of his daughters and reminded everyone of that with his outfit.
He sported jeans and a silly graphic T-shirt that read: “Horse Show Dad. Clean the Boots. Hold the Horse. Write the Check.”
The father of three held a saddle in one hand as he beamed with joy.
Corey’s father captioned the post: “Corey, Grace and Aliannah at their horse show this weekend! #aligrace.”
Corey is also a father to eight-year-old Remi whom he shares with his wife, Miranda Patterson.
AN UPDATE ON ALI
Back in April, Leah, 31, shared an update on Ali’s health condition after fans shared their concerns after viewing the teen in a photo.
In the video, Leah’s three daughters Addie, 10, and Ali and Aleeah, 13 walked along to a fun song.
Leah shares Addie with her ex-husband, Jeremy Calvert – the two married in 2012 and divorced in 2015.
The trio wore sensible comfy clothing, and were filmed from behind as they walked up a dirt track.
The girls then entered a large arena, where a horse and rider could be seen trotting in the distance.
Leah captioned the post: “First time getting to see a big arena at the Kentucky Horse Park and they loved it!”
Many of the Teen Mom 2 fans were quick to voice their excitement over seeing Ali walking so comfortably.
One person said: “I would love to hear an update on Ali! I remember her doc saying she would go downhill after age 7 but she is walking amazing!”
Leah responded: “Alis’s determination is like no other. We always take it day by day and equestrian riding has brought her so much purpose and also improved her strength.
“She still uses her wheelchair for longer distances and in school to conserve her energy and allow her to be able to walk when she can for shorter distances. Overall she’s a fighter and never loses hope.”
‘THIS MADE ME CRY!’
Others also added their praise of the 30-year-old and her daughter.
One shared: “This made me cry. I love seeing Allie walking. She’s such a strong soul.”
“Allie is amazing her progress has been nothing short of amazing it’s so beautiful to see her living her best life,” wrote a second.
