Amber Portwood is showing love for her daughter, Leah, on her birthday. The Teen Mom OG star has been going through a rough time the last few months following her arrest, but she took a moment to send some love to her oldest child.
"Happy 11th Birthday my beautiful girl!!! I love our hugs. I love our kisses and I love singing together while looking into each other's eyes. I love how you make me feel every time I see you. I love the text messages we send of funny gifs and when you say Goodnight but keep texting emojis," the MTV star penned.
She continued, "But what I love most of all is when you tell me I love you Mommy and I say I love you too beautiful..you are everything and more. Happy Birthday my beautiful girl with the 'ocean eyes' ❤??"
Fans first met Amber when she was expecting Leah with her ex-fiance, Gary Shirley, on the hit MTV show 16 & Pregnant in 2009.
Over the years, fans watched Amber go through a lot of ups and downs when it came to co-parenting, as well as personal battles.
From her battles with mental health to her prison sentence, fans have watched it all.
In August 2017, Amber debuted her new romance with Andrew Glennon.

In May 2018, the two welcomed their first child together, James.
On the show, Amber showed her fans the progress she was making when it came to her mental health and invited cameras into her therapy sessions.
Amber's co-parenting relationship with Gary and his wife, Kristina, even improved over the years.
In July 2019, the Teen Mom world was left speechless when news of Amber's arrest broke. The MTV star was arrested for alleged domestic violence following a fight with Andrew.
In late October 2019, a judge accepted Amber's plea deal in the domestic violence case. The MTV star avoided jail time in the case and is on probation for 906 days. She also must complete parenting classes and 26 weeks of Batterers’ Intervention Program.
In early November 2019, Amber filed an Information and Verified Motion for Rule to Show Cause. According to the filing, Amber claimed that her ex-boyfriend has “denied Mother all parenting time since October 22, 2019,” violating their mediated agreement.
Since Amber's arrest, audio tapes, as well as the footage allegedly from the night of her arrest, have been released.
