While we’re all still getting used to the new quarantined way of life, Teen Mom UK star Amber Butler is doing it all with two little ones to contend with at the same time. The 22-year-old welcomed her second son, Hudson, back in September – a baby brother for five-year-old Brooklyn – and she’s found the transition to being a mum of two smoother than expected.
“I thought it would be really difficult [having two] because honestly I found having just Brooklyn really tough,” Amber tells heat. “But I feel like ever since he’s arrived, we’ve all - especially Brooklyn - grown up so much. Brooklyn is such a good big brother. He helps me with everything.”
And after struggling with being a 17-year-old mum to Brooklyn, Amber tells us she’s proud of her parenting skills these days.
“With Brooklyn I was literally just winging it. But the past six months [with Hudson] I have honestly smashed it because Brooklyn’s got a proper routine now. It means when the kids are in bed, I’ve got time to sit down, have a glass of wine and watch whatever I want to watch. It makes me feel like… literally, this is the life.”
While Teen Mom UK is now in its seventh series, Amber still laughs when we call her a “celeb mum” but is quick to let us her know her showbiz parent. “I really like Stacey Solomon. I always like watching her stories and think she’s a brilliant mum. It’s just nice to know that every mum is in the same boat.”
Teen Mom UK Series continues Wednesday 15th April at 8pm on MTV.
