TEEN Mom star Amber Portwood has sparked concern by sharing a “sad” selfie after her ex Andrew Glennon posted a snap of their son James.
The 32-year-old looked downcast in a new photo at home that she posted on Instagram on Wednesday.

Amber pouted while posing in her living room in the snap, which she captioned: “Hump day #vibes #headingoutthedoor #meetings.”
Her fans flooded the comments section with their concern for the Teen Mom OG star.
One wrote, “You almost always look so sad,” with a crying face emoji and another added: “I hope you’re doing okay Amber.”
She posted the selfie just hours after Andrew shared a very rare photo of James.
The U.S. Sun can exclusively reveal the photo of the single dad smiling as an energetic James threw up both his arms in the air behind him.
Andrew, 38, shared the snap on his private social media.
James, who turns five in May, has been living in Malibu, California, after Andrew was awarded full custody of their son, and permission to relocate them out of Indiana.
Amber has regular monthly visits with James which include overnights.
As The U.S. Sun exclusively reported, James’ new life is far different than what it looked like previously.
James and his father Andrew Glennon relocated to Malibu in August, soon after an Indiana judge granted him full custody.
While the physical distance has grown between Amber and her son, she is making her visits with him a top priority, the insider claimed.
“Amber is now at the full visits with James that the court set forth for them in their final custodial decision. She has him five days a month, and her time with him alternates between California and Indiana.”
Another insider close to the Teen Mom star added that the toddler is actually “with her right now and she is thrilled about the time with him.”
They added that when Amber isn’t with James she is frequently on FaceTime with him to bridge the gaps between visits.
“Amber has been trying really hard to make sure she’s in James’ life despite the distance. It’s tough on her, but she’s making it work,” the source added.
CUSTODY WAR
Andrew was granted sole custody of James in July and has since relocated with him to his mother’s $5million estate in Malibu – more than 2,000 miles away from Amber’s Indiana home.
Amber opened up about how she’s feeling since the custody loss in part two of the Teen Mom: The Next Chapter reunion special that aired in December 2022.
After a brief recap of season one, Dr. Drew asked Amber: “So what are your thoughts as you watch that?”
She responded: “Uhh, just ready to not be here. Don’t want to deal with that right now.”
The host inquired further, asking: “Don’t want to deal with the James thing?”
Amber flatly answered: “All of that. All of it. All of it was horrible.”
Amber has appeared on MTV since she welcomed her now 14-year-old daughter, Leah, with her ex-fiancé, Gary Shirley, in a 2009 episode of 16 and Pregnant.
Her struggles with mental health and addiction were extensively covered on the show, as was her stint in prison.
Over 10 years ago, the star served 17 months behind bars on drug charges.
After her release in 2013, she fought to remain sober, reconnect with her daughter, and resume her studies in college.
