ATLANTA, GEORGIA: Armed with the realization that she wants nobody but Shekeb in her life, 'I Love A Mama's Boy' star Emily decided to finally give in and try to win over his mother Laila. Considering her bad blood with Laila, Emily knew it wouldn't be easy to impress her boyfriend's mother, but she was still willing to give it a fair shot. So, Emily decided to host a dinner party for Laila and cook some of her favorite dishes.

Unfortunately for Emily, it looks like it might be a little too late to turn a new leaf with Laila, as the Sekander household's matriarch has already decided to sabotage the dinner party by tagging Yussra along. Aside from shocking Shekeb and Emily by bringing Yussra along for the intimate dinner party, Laila further ruffled some feathers when she declared that Emily had no say in who Shekeb would marry!

Yussra's presence at the party clearly didn't sit well with Emily, while Laila smugly admits in her confessional that this is what she wanted all along. The dinner party atmosphere turned tense, and things escalated in no time when Emily confronted Laila about her intentions. Emily angrily asked Laila if she didn't want Shekeb to ever marry, or wanted him to marry Yussra instead of her. Laila dismissed Emily by saying that it wasn't up to her to decide who Shekeb would marry. Emily gasped at Laila's response and wondered why she as his girlfriend wouldn't have a say in Shekeb's marriage and partner.

It looks like the tension between the two ladies isn't going to end anytime soon. If Shekeb was hoping for peace between the two ladies in his life, then he might want to reconsider. We just hope that Laila's determination to split Emily and Shekeb won't actually put a dent in the couple's relationship. It'll definitely be interesting to watch how Shekeb navigates this tricky situation between his mother and his girlfriend. 

'I Love A Mama's Boy' season 3 airs every Sunday at 10/9c on TLC and is available for streaming on the Discovery+ app.
