In 2010, April Webster and Nathan Fishbourne made headlines as Britain’s youngest parents. Both were just 14 years old when their son, Jamie, was born. April had become pregnant at 13 and discovered it only a day before her 14th birthday. The young couple, classmates at St. Cenydd School in Caerphilly, South Wales, had been in a typical teenage relationship, unaware of the life-changing responsibility ahead.
April was initially too embarrassed to tell her parents about the pregnancy, but with their support, she carried the baby to term. Nathan admitted they hadn’t used protection, citing personal discomfort. While the news shocked both families, they ultimately chose to rally behind the teens. Jamie was born in November 2010 via cesarean section, weighing nearly nine pounds.
Shortly after birth, Jamie faced a serious health complication—a malformed oesophagus—which required urgent surgery. Thankfully, he recovered well and was discharged after 11 days. April and her baby moved in with her parents and older sister, Robyn, who played a big role in helping raise Jamie. Nathan was involved in the early days, and they tried to co-parent.
However, their relationship didn’t last. By 2011, April and Nathan had gone their separate ways. In later interviews, April confirmed they no longer had contact. She did not finish her GCSEs but focused entirely on raising Jamie, taking on the challenges of teenage motherhood with determination.
Now 28, April is a mother of three children: Jamie, Ava Lianne, and Rowan David. She lives with her current partner, Jake Jones, and seems to be thriving in her role as a mother. She occasionally shares glimpses of her life online, showing pride in her children and resilience through the years.
Nathan, meanwhile, has moved on with his own life. He got engaged to a woman named Samantha in 2023 and is also raising children. Though their early experience was intense and public, both April and Nathan appear to have found stability and happiness in adulthood.
