Teen Mom Star Amber Portwood Opens Up About Getting Over Gary Shirley

Teen Mom OG Amber Portwood

Amber Portwood has come a very long way since Teen Mom went off the air two and a half years ago. It’s back now – as Teen Mom OG – and Amber credits prison for saving her life and now she credits her new fiance, Matt Baier, for helping her get over Gary Shirley once and for all. Amber and Gary are TOXIC together so this is a good thing.

Speaking to OK!, Amber said, “I think Matt helped me get completely over him. It was months before that though that I made the decision to not want to have the relationship with Gary anymore. It was just really hard to move forward with somebody and trust another man and actually feel like I could love another person. I never thought I could find somebody that I loved more than Gary, and obviously I was wrong. I love this man more than anything.”

Amber also opened up about the amount of time she spends with Leah. “I still see BooBoo as much as I can,” Amber said, acknowledging that she isn’t able to spend as much time with Leah as she did in the summer because of school.

“Whenever she wants to come over, I always say yes,” continued Amber. “It’s a normal back and forth kind of thing, but I do want to get joint custody and have a little bit of say-so in certain things. I think that would make me feel better.”

About the new season, Amber said, “I hope people can see the changes I’ve done and how hard I’ve work on myself and my life. And I think people are going to be surprised. You are going to see moments where I get angry again but I’m not perfect.”

Tonight on Teen Mom OG, Amber pulls one of her drama queen stunts over Gary‘s new girlfriend, Kristina, and Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra host a party to reveal the gender of their baby. Live tweet with us during the show!
