TEEN Mom alum Gary Shirley has shared a loved-up snap with wife Kristina as he puts his latest drama with ex Amber Portwood behind him.
The MTV star, 35, has daughter Leah, 13, with Amber, and claimed full custody back in 2011, but was seen enjoying a child-free day with his spouse at Starbucks.
Gary and Kristina, who married in 2015, were seen cuddled up outside the coffee joint for their sweet date.
They were clad in face coverings to adhere to guidance while staying snug in sports gear.
He flashed a peace sign to the camera while Kristina beamed from behind her mask.
Gary took to his Instagram page to share the duo of snaps and the caption: “Time for an updated EMG! Behind me is @kristina_shirley3 she’s just a peach! And I love peaches. And I love her
“Thanks for the ride sweet cheeks! Oh btw we have matching masks! We did it on purpose too!
.”
Fans flooded his image with love including, most noticeably, ex Amber.
She posted a trio of red love hearts to give her seal of approval.
This prompted one Teen Mom fan to comment: “You’re the best!”
Another then gushed: “Proud of you Amber. Xxx”
The apparent truce came after Gary slammed Amber last year for “embarrassing” teen Leah with a series of Instagram Live videos filmed amid “manic” episodes.
It also represented a calming of emotion between the pair after Amber stormed off stage during their fight during the finale of Teen Mom OG.
Later that episode, Gary and Amber attended therapy together.
When asked why he joined his ex for therapy, Gary explained: “Me and my wife, we’re trying to have a relationship with Amber.
“Not only to be good co-parents, but also to try to be more understanding.”
AMBER’S ANGST
Amber has a total of two children, giving birth to her first child, Leah, at 18 years old in 2008 and her second child, James Andrew Glennon, in 2018.
She revealed her thoughts on herself as a mother in the latest TV series, Teen Mom: Family Reunion.
“Sometimes I don’t feel like I am a mom,” Amber said.
“I let my anger kind of take over my life. I just wasn’t a good mom. I wasn’t there for my daughter when she needed me and I was an addict and in jail for fighting.”
She responded to Dr. Bryant about the steps she has taken on being a good parent.
“I’ve literally tried to just keep on being there for my daughter and be there for my son as much as I can,” Amber said.
The TV personality added that she has also taken intervention classes and anger management classes.
She has now scored a victory in a nasty custody war with ex Andrew Glennon over their son.
AMBER TARGETS KRISTINA
Back in March 2021, Amber shocked fans when she called out Gary’s wife Kristina in an Instagram Live rant.
In a previous Teen Mom OG episode, Leah said she doesn’t have a “bond” with Amber and that Kristina is the one who looks after her.
Several hours after the episode aired, Amber took to Instagram to brand Kristina a “liar” and claim that she “spoils” Leah.
“When you’re a w***e, you’re a w***e. When you’re a homewrecker, you’re a homewrecker,” the MTV star said.
“When you’re a liar, you’re a liar,” she added.
