‘They’re being very proactive in their relationship and are doing the work to prevent problems before they start,’ the person said.
It comes five months after news broke that Portwood was in a new romantic relationship.
‘She met him on a dating app four months ago. They are taking their time getting to know each other, but it’s getting serious,’ a source told Us Weekly at the beginning of the year.
Gary lives in Portwood’s hometown, Indianapolis, and is in his late 30s.
He does not have kids, but is close to his parents and ‘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 seen Amber’s reality television series.
‘All the guys Amber has dated before she met on social media and were fans of the show,’ the source explained.
‘This new man in her life has actually never seen Teen Mom so she feels she can finally date in the way she’s always wanted to,’ the person close to Portwood said.
Amber was introduced to MTV audiences on 16 and Pregnant in 2009.
She moved on to become a cast member on Teen Mom and Teen Mom OG, which lasted from 2009 to 2021.
She was back in front of cameras on 2022’s Teen Mom: Family Reunion and 2023’s Teen Mom: The Next Chapter.
