The couple briefly split toward the end of Season 1 after Shekeb showed reluctance to move in with Emily and instead chose to stay with his mother

The men featured on ‘I Love A Mama’s Boy’ never cease to surprise us with their awfully terrible decision-making skills. Fans of the popular TLC show are no strangers to the messy relationship between Shekeb and his girlfriend of three years Emily, thanks to his mother Laila third-wheeling them all the time. The couple briefly split toward the end of Season 1 after Shekeb showed reluctance to move in with Emily and instead chose to continue staying with his mother.

But as the saying goes distance makes hearts grow fonder, the time apart from each other helped Shekeb and Emily reassess their relationship and eventually decided to give it another shot. But Shekeb slyly decided to keep this major decision from his mother and instead ambushed her by inviting Emily to their home one fine day. As expected the ladies didn’t handle the situation well and the meeting ended in tears and a shouting match. But after watching her son’s undying love and affection toward Emily, Laila decided to keep her feelings aside and give her son’s girlfriend a chance. When she heard that her son was planning on buying an engagement ring for Emily she decided to tag along and help him pick out a perfect ring. Although on the surface it might look like a really sweet gesture, Laila had some strong ulterior motives for accompanying her son for ring shopping.
