‘Teen Mom’ Alum Amber Portwood Is Engaged to Boyfriend Gary
Amber Portwood is engaged to her boyfriend, Gary, as revealed exclusively by Us Weekly. A close source shared that the proposal occurred within the last two weeks, with Portwood’s engagement ring being made from a family stone that was reset into a new ring. The source expressed that she is incredibly happy about the engagement.
The couple has been actively working on strengthening their relationship before taking the next step. Engaging in couple’s therapy and open communication, they are being proactive in addressing any potential issues early on.
Earlier this year, it was reported by Us that the 34-year-old Teen Mom star had found a new love interest through a dating app. The relationship has been progressing steadily, with Gary, in his late 30s and without children of his own, proving to be family-oriented.
Unlike Portwood’s previous relationships, Gary had not watched Teen Mom before meeting her, allowing their connection to develop naturally.
Portwood, known for her appearances on reality TV shows like 16 and Pregnant and Teen Mom, has shared her personal life on screen since 2009. She has been a part of the Teen Mom franchise from 2009 to 2021, later returning for Teen Mom: Family Reunion in 2022 and Teen Mom: The Next Chapter in 2023.
Portwood has a daughter, Leah, with her ex Gary Shirley, and a son, James, with her former partner Andrew Glennon. Leah was born in November 2008, and Shirley was granted full custody in 2011. Portwood dated Glennon from 2017 to 2019.
Amber Portwood’s engagement news comes as a heartwarming update in her journey of love and relationships, showcasing a new chapter in her personal life.
