“They are very proactive in their relationship and do their best to prevent problems before they start,” the person said.
It comes five months after news broke that Portwood was in a new romantic relationship.
‘Four months ago she met him on a dating app. They’re taking time to get to know each other, but things are getting serious,” a source said We weekly at the beginning of the year.
Gary lives in Portwood’s hometown of Indianapolis and is in his late 30s.
He has no children but has a good relationship with his parents and is “very family oriented,” it was reported.
According to the publication, Gary — who shares the same name as Amber’s ex-boyfriend and baby daddy Gary Shirley — has never watched Amber’s reality TV series.
“All the guys Amber dated before meeting on social media were fans of the show,” the source explains.
“This new man in her life has actually never seen Teen Mom before, so she feels like she can finally date the way she’s always wanted to,” the person close to Portwood said.
Amber was introduced to the MTV audience in 2009 on 16 and Pregnant.
She then became a cast member of Teen Mom and Teen Mom OG, which lasted from 2009 to 2021.
She faced the cameras again in 2022’s Teen Mom: Family Reunion and 2023’s Teen Mom: The Next Chapter.
