About

Gary Shirley is a reality television personality best known for appearing on MTV’s 16 & Pregnant and its spinoffs Teen Mom and Teen Mom: The Next Chapter. Shirley was born in Anderson, Indiana, where his early life came into the public eye when he began his journey as a young father on reality TV.

Shirley first rose to fame in 2009 when he appeared alongside then-girlfriend Amber Portwood on 16 & Pregnant. The exposure marked his entry into the MTV franchise and set the stage for his continuing presence on Teen Mom and later Teen Mom: The Next Chapter.

Outside of TV, he has pursued a career in law enforcement in Indiana. He was sworn in as a police officer in 2019.

Shirley’s relationship history includes his long-term partnership with Portwood, with whom he shares daughter Leah Leann Shirley (born 2008).
