After splitting with longtime beau Matt Baier after a series of ups and downs documented on Teen Mom OG, it seems like Amber Portwood is trying love out again.
Nearly two months after the reality cast member called it quits with Baier, Portwood was seen kissing a tall mystery man in Indianapolis. According to E! News, the man’s name is Andrew Glennon, and the new couple met while Portwood and Baier were filming Marriage Boot Camp.

A source revealed that Baier and Portwood called their relationship off during production of the reality series. The two are reportedly “still in touch,” but a separate source said Portwood is “very happy” in her new relationship.
Portwood addressed her new man after a fan tweeted, asking her if she has a thing for “old guys now.”
“He’s 33?? I’m 27…that’s perfect to me and that’s all that matters,”Portwood tweeted.
So how did this new coupling come about? Scroll down for more details on their blossoming relationship.
The couple grew close on ‘Marriage Boot Camp’
A source said Glennon was working as a crew member on Marriage Boot Camp when he first crossed paths with Portwood.
“It makes sense Amber and Andrew grew close during filming. Her relationship with Matt was in bad shape and when you’re shooting a show like this where there is a lot of heightened emotion, participants bond with the crew,” an insider said.
They didn’t pursue their romance until after production wrapped.
Despite the timing of their meeting, a source said everything was done correctly between the MTV reality regular and her new beau.
The source insisted that lines weren’t crossed and “nothing happened” between Portwood and Glennon until she got back home.
“She didn’t cheat,” the insider said.
Portwood is seemingly open with her romance now, even posting an Instagram photo — sans caption — of someone who appears to be her new man.
He’s not her usual type…
In an unverified Instagram account with Glennon’s name — that Portwood follows — his dark hair and his beard seems to match the man Portwood was pictured cuddling with.
“Andrew is a bit nerdy,” a source said, “but she likes that about him. She sounds very happy.”
“He’s really tall, well over 6 ft., which Amber loves,” the source continued.
Former flame Matt Baier, on the other hand, seemed to be on the shorter side.
They’re nearly inseparable…
“During filming, Andrew noticed Amber before she noticed him. He contacted her once filming ended. She and Matt were broken up and she invited him to come visit,” a source shared.
It sounds like these two could be the real deal!
Glennon arrived a “few weeks later” and “he’s been with her ever since. It’s been a longer stay than either of them expected.”
Glennon has a background in the entertainment industry…
Glennon comes from Malibu, California. According to an IMDb page that’s linked to his name, the 33-year-old has worked in production for awhile, including jobs in the camera department and as a cinematographer for a few short films and other similar independent projects.
Because of his job, he’s reportedly “gig to gig” and has the time right now to be in Indianapolis with Portwood.
