Some mothers might be slightly concerned if their son was dating a woman who was caught on camera shoving, punching, slapping and choking their loved one.

But the mother of Clinton Yunker, the new boyfriend of Teen Mom star Amber Portwood, is unfazed by her 23-year-old son's sudden infamy.

Judith Reagan spoke out exclusively to Breaking Celebrity News, revealing how she feels about the budding romance.

"I am pleased Clinton is in a mature relationship with Amber," Judith said.

"It has been very difficult for us since the relationship began because there have been so many negative articles written about him."

Portwood is currently facing felony domestic violence charges in Indiana after MTV showed her violently assaulting ex-fiance Gary Shirley on the reality show.

Yunker, who is also a young parent, has also had his fair share of trouble; he plead guilty to misdemeanor charges for possession of marijuana and battery in the past.
