Cheyenne, 30, has now confirmed that the incident is going to trial.
During a reunion interview, Cheyenne and Zach sat side-by-side as they opened up about the situation and the legal side of things.
At one point, the host asked: “How’s your anxiety since the shooting?”
“Terrible,” Cheyenne replied straight away, before she laughed and added: “It’s so bad.”
Zach interjected and revealed: “It’s subsided though,” as Cheyenne continued: “I feel like it’s gotten a lot better, I can leave my house now, I can drive now, and that took a long time.
“It’s a lot, I mean we went almost a year without talking about it,” she then said as the host replied: “What, why?!”
“I mean we didn’t talk about it on the show, we just didn’t feel… we talked amongst ourselves, but I mean publicly we didn’t talk about it for a year, so that always adds an extra layer of things .”
Cheyenne revealed: “And that added more anxiety and more questions that we can’t answer because it’s an open case.

“We found out recently that we’re gonna start a trial soon so now we really can’t talk about it.”
The host then said: “Okay, you probably won’t be able to answer this then, how do you know who the shooter was and what his motives were?”
“We can’t,” Zach and Cheyenne both said at the same time.
The Teen Mom alum also opened up about how the shooting had affected her two children, Ryder and Ace.
“Ace was only two months so he has no idea what happened to him, but for Ryder, I mean Ryder never knew what a gun was before this,” she explained.
“Or she never had anxiety in a car or if she saw an accident, she would never talk about it, now she is just more aware of certain things.”
Cheyenne confirmed that she has spoken to children’s therapists, who recommended her to give her daughter a “six-month grace period.”
When asked how Ryder, now five, had spoken about the shooting, Cheyenne said: “She processed it pretty well because in the first two months when she would talk about it, she explained it as it happened.”
