Imprisoned Teen Mom star Amber Portwood will finally get to see her daughter Leah because her baby daddy has agreed to bring the 3-year-old to the jail, and Amber's brother exclusively told Breaking Celebrity News he's hoping the visit will motivate her to get out as fast as she can.
"Just to clear up confusion I had to find out for my daughter, Amber and myself if it was best for Leah to go where her mommy is and visit," Gary Shirley wrote on his Facebook page late Sunday.
"I learned that it is the best thing for Leah and Amber."
Amber's brother Shawn Portwood couldn't agree more and is hoping a visit from Leah is just what the embattled MTV star needs to keep her head up in prison and motivate herself to get out.
"It is great news. I am happy to hear that Amber will be able to see Leah. It is something that they both need right now in their lives," Shawn told Breaking Celebrity News.
