In 2010, April Webster and Nathan Fishbourne became the youngest parents in the UK. April was only 13 when she became pregnant, and Nathan was 14 when their son, Jamie, was born. Their story “sparked media attention, generating both sympathy and criticism.”

The two met at St. Cenydd School in South Wales. April learned she was pregnant the day before her 14th birthday, shocking both families, who eventually offered their support. Jamie was born via cesarean section in November 2010 and faced health issues due to a malformed oesophagus, but after surgery and 11 days in the hospital, he recovered and went home.

April lived with her parents while Nathan, living nearby, planned to help care for Jamie on weekends. “April was determined to be the best mother she could be,” though the young couple’s future was uncertain.

By 2014, they had separated. April chose to focus on raising Jamie, later saying she had no regrets.

Now 28, April—who goes by April Lianna—has three children and a stable relationship with Jake Jones. Nathan is engaged to Samantha and has a family of his own. Their story shows how “early setbacks can become lasting family bonds.”
