A family insider close to the Teen Mom OG star exclusively revealed to star exclusively revealed to RadarOnline.com that the family fears the pregnancy is too soon.
Although Portwood’s mom Tonya and cousin Krystal are “excited,” her brother Shawn has his concerns. “Shawn was shocked more than anything,” the source said. “He doesn’t have any negative thoughts about it, but the main issue is he still hasn’t met him.”
As RadarOnline.com exclusively reported, Glennon was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol in March 2014. He was ordered to serve 96 hours in Los Angeles County Jail and pay $2,120 in fines and fees.
He was also charged with two counts of “unlawfully owning, possessing, purchasing, receiving and having custody and control of a firearm, to wit, a handgun,” in July 2010. He also hit with charges of possession of a rifle, baton and metal knuckles by a felon. He pled not guilty to all five counts and the charges against him were dismissed.
But when Shawn spoke with Glennon over the phone, he felt more at ease over the pregnancy. “Shawn talked to him and told him he was good in his book,” the source said. “He seems to be the type to have a good head on his shoulders. He’s not a bum. He has goals. The man is doing the right thing to be where he is right now with his production job, he’s making a living.”
“They've only known each other a few months,” the insider told RadarOnline.com. “You need to get to know somebody well.”
In an interview with Us Weekly, Portwood revealed that she has weaned herself off her medication for bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder. The insider revealed it has her family concerned.
“It’s concerning because her body is used to taking medication so it will mess with her,” the source said. “Hopefully she is getting medical advice. She’s doing okay.”
