Rise to Fame

Andrew Glennon is a professional cinematographer, having worked on several short film projects. He has worked in the camera and electrical department for projects like ‘Silent Sea’, ‘The First Date’, ‘Kiss Kiss’, ‘U.Z.L.A’, etc. and took up jobs as a cinematographer for a few short films like ‘Takers’ and ‘The Player’.

In August 2017, he shot to fame when he was seen kissing ‘Teen Mom OG’ star, Amber Portwood, at her home in Indianapolis. He first met her while working on the sets of the ‘WEtv’ reality TV show ‘Marriage Boot Camp’, where she was trying to sort out her issues with her then-fiancé, Matt Baier. Their passionate kiss sparked a controversy, but they temporarily cooled off their relationship till the production of the show wrapped up. She had agreed to feature on the show after discovering that Baier had cheated on her with multiple women and even had children with them. In early 2017, she was reportedly accused of domestic abuse towards Baier. After several reconciliation attempts, she called off their wedding.

Amber Portwood had achieved fame much before her engagement with Baier. After dropping out of high school due to a teenage pregnancy with her baby’s father, Gary Shirley, the couple got engaged and lived together for some time before welcoming their daughter, Leah. In 2009, they shot to fame with the ‘MTV’ reality show ’16 and Pregnant’, but ultimately separated in 2011 on a bad note. She had reportedly physically assaulted him and left him with a permanent scar on his face. In 2012, she was given a five-year imprisonment sentence for drugs possession, but was released early in November 2013. Thereafter, in 2015, she featured on the show ‘Teen Mom OG’.

After she broke up with Baier, Andrew started dating her. In spite of her troubled past, he accepted her whole-heartedly and they eventually moved in together. He soon started featuring with her on the ‘MTV’ show ‘Teen Mom OG’. She has reportedly been on medication for depression even after the birth of their son. They had discussed a possible marriage in recent weeks but he was seen arguing with her on many recent episodes of the show.

His popularity on Instagram has grown after meeting Amber and his account has become a ‘verified’ one. Most of his posts are about family life but he occasionally posts affiliated and sponsored product posts too.
