'I Love A Mama's Boy' Season 4 star Matt McAdams could risk his close bond with his mother, Kelly McAdams, by keeping a major secret. Matt has been eager to start a new chapter of his life away from his mother, and it appears he's taking the first steps toward independence by searching for a new home

The preview for the upcoming episode hints that Matt has chosen a house, all while keeping his overbearing mother in the dark. Kelly loves controlling nearly every aspect of Matt's life, from picking his clothes to managing his social calendar and even hovering during his dates. She would be devastated to learn about his plans to move out. Matt does deserve the long-awaited independence but it's not possible without truly breaking his bond with his mother. Keeping such a major step a secret could be a deal breaker of the mother-son's already complicated relationship. However, given Kelly's deep attachment to Matt, she likely won't stay angry for long. Instead, she'll try to use her manipulative tactics to convince him to move back in with her.

Kelly may play health scare card to manipulate Matt McAdams

'I Love A Mama's Boy' star Kelly McAdams has been struggling with sleep apnea and requires assistance putting on a mask before going to bed. With this condition, a person may stop breathing during sleep, and if left untreated, it can lead to more serious health issues. Matt McAdams has been planning to move out for a long time but always ditched his plans because of Kelly's health scare. However, Kelly would use her manipulative tactics again to keep Matt under control.

Kelly could use her health scare as an emotional tool to prevent Matt from moving out, leaning into her vulnerability to manipulate him while reminding him of a son's duty. Kelly's health issues have always been the perfect excuse to pull him back into her orbit but this time her plans might have different results. However, Matt seems to understand her mother's manipulation and has kept his plans a secret just to avoid falling into her trap again.
