Teen Mom OG star Amber Portwood welcomed her first child with Andrew Glennon on Tuesday, May 8, and we now have the very first photos of Leah’s little brother James Andrew Glennon! Plus, we’ve gathered up the congratulatory responses from some of Amber’s Teen Mom OG and Teen Mom 2 co-stars, including her ex Gary Shirley!
First, the photos… Above we have a BRAND SPANKIN’ NEW photo JUST tweeted by Amber that includes James and his big sister Leah together. “Big Sis and little James!” Amber wrote along with the photo. “She was so excited to meet her little brother?”
Here are a couple more pics of James Andrew Glennon:
I have to say, that is one cute lil baby y’all! And I don’t think Amber has ever looked more lovely! 🙂
As far as the reactions, we will start with those closest to Amber, including her mother Tonya Portwood and her ex, Gary Shirley:
We have our ups and down I think the ups are more frequent than the downs. But the point is we are trying & honestly I want the best for them & leah deserves both parents working together. Thanks for all the great support.

Amber’s brother Shawn “Bubby” Portwood has yet to respond on social media after James’ arrival, but he did share a couple of tweets the day before:
@AmberLPortwood I love you, sis! I hope Andrew is ready.

As far as Amber’s Teen Mom OG co-stars, both Maci and Catelynn shared sponsored links to an Us magazine article about Jame’s birth along with these congratulatory messages:
MACI: Amber and Andrew look sooo happy ❤️ congrats to them!
CATELYNN: Congratulations @AmberLPortwood I am SO happy for you!
As you might imagine, Farrah Abraham has yet to respond to Amber becoming a mom again. Combined with the volatile relationship between the two, Amber’s son was born on the same day as Sophia’s late dad, Derek Underwood, and Farrah spent the day with Sophia remembering him.
Also silent so far is Amber’s ex, Matt Baier.
UPDATE – Just after publishing the post we received a statement from Farrah’s dad, Michael Abraham: “From the Abraham family, we all wish Amber and Andrew big Congrats … and send blessings for James!”
Meanwhile, Teen Mom 2 stars Leah Messer and Jenelle Eason ladies shared their non-sponsored congrats to Amber on Twitter:
Congrats @AmberLPortwood !! ??????

Brianna DeJesus shared a sponsored link that included the message: “#BreakingNews Congrats!”
Kail Lowry shared a sponsored link on Instagram but she added a personal touch with a photo of her and Amber together:
We’d also like to offer up our congratulations to Amber and Andrew! We’re like many armchair viewers in that the pregnancy seemed MIGHTY quick, but I also have to concede that Andrew seems to have a lot of qualities that help to bring out the best in Amber. Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that his personality seems to not bring out the worst in Amber — i.e. her anger. Regardless of the phrasing, the two seem like a great fit.
We wish #Ambrew all the best and can’t wait to see their family’s story unfold on the next season of Teen Mom OG!
