Amber Portwood is one of the original girls fro MTV’s ’16 & Pregnant’ and has managed to stay with the series ever since. After MTV disposed of ’16 & Pregnant,’ it became evident that a follow-up series might be coming soon.
The fans’ intuition paid of as ‘Teen Mom’ branched off to multiple series focusing on the lives of the ‘OG’ cast. Amber was and still is one of the most prominent cast members.
Her storyline began when she was just a teenager trying her best to navigate through motherhood. Much like her co-stars, Amber had a tough time doing it all alone or even getting along with her then-boyfriend, Gary Shirley.
