Amber Portwood visits her son in California<\/a> for half of their time together.<\/p>\nAndrew Glennon has custody of James following a lengthy (and multi-phase) custody war.<\/p>\n
Many of us still remember him as a baby. But James is nearly five years old.<\/p>\n
And, thanks to Andrew, Teen Mom fans have a major update on this precious kid. Yes, we mean a photo.<\/p>\n<\/noscript>Taking to his private social media page, Andrew Glennon shared a rare photo of (almost) 5-year-old son James Glennon! Both guys are rocking some phenomenal shirts. (Photo Credit: Facebook)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAndrew Glennon may have posted it privately, but that just means that only a specific circle of social media users can see this pic.<\/p>\n
While it\u2019s easy to get distracted by these truly excellent shirts, we cannot help but marvel at how James is growing up.<\/p>\n
He will be five years old in May. This little sweetie is getting to grow up far from reality TV cameras, and we should all feel grateful for that.<\/p>\nAndrew Glennon shared this sweet photo of himself holding James, the son he shares with Amber Portwood.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIn case you need a reminder, most of the planet has not really seen James since he was still a literal <\/em>baby.<\/p>\n(Don\u2019t get us wrong, he\u2019s still a \u201cbaby\u201d to most of us \u2026 but he is also old enough to not want anyone to call him one. Because he\u2019s nearly five!)<\/p>\n
It is strange to think that, in most of the photos where we last saw him, Andrew and Amber were still a happy couple. Or, at least, pretending to be happy together.<\/p>\nAmber Portwood and Andrew Glennon in happier times. Following Amber\u2019s arrest for assault, things have never been the same.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n(But hey, Andrew\u2019s taste in shirts has remained pretty fantastic the entire time)<\/p>\n
Amber threw all of that apparent happiness away in early July of 2019.<\/p>\n
Enraged over a bridge closing that interfered with Fourth of July plans, she began to strike her then-partner while he held their young son. When he fled into a room to protect himself and the baby, Amber hacked at the door with a machete.<\/p>\nThe door may have withstood the machete attack, but it was still a violent nightmare for the humans sheltering behind it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAndrew was not the first partner whom Amber had violently attacked. <\/p>\n
She once again avoided prison time following her act of domestic violence (yes, she has been to prison, but not directly for abusing a partner), but not without admitting to her crime.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Andrew has ultimately gained primary physical custody. The court allowed him to move with James to Southern California.<\/p>\nAndrew Glennon of Teen Mom OG \u2013 Amber Portwood\u2019s former lover \u2013 on a recent installment of the hit MTV series.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAndrew made the case to the court that he cannot find jobs in his line of work in Indiana. He was only ever there for Amber.<\/p>\n
However, he had multiple job offers on the table in SoCal. Additionally, he had a home and family support for James there, too.<\/p>\n
The court was able to verify that Andrew and James were welcome to move in with Andrew\u2019s mother \u2014 in her Malibu mansion. And she was not the only family around to play with and help care for little James, either.<\/p>\nAndrew Glennon takes a photo with baby James in his nursery.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nReportedly, Amber recently reached a new threshold \u2014 full visits with James, as their custodial decision outlined.<\/p>\n
Right now, that means that she has him for five days a month.<\/p>\n
Every other month, those five days are in California. On alternating months, those five days are in Indiana.<\/p>\nAmber Portwood looks pretty sullen in this look at the long-time cast member on Teen Mom OG.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nDuring all of this, Amber\u2019s most outspoken advocate \u2014 Amber herself \u2014 has at times appeared to critics to depict herself as the victim of some sort of injustice<\/em>.<\/p>\nBut family court\u2019s role is to determine the best outcome for the child. Not the greatest happiness for the worst parent.<\/p>\n
We do not envy Amber\u2019s traumatic life. But she has chosen, as an adult, to pay a lot of that forward.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
