UK’s Youngest Parents: Where Are They Now?
In 2010, April Webster and Nathan Fishbourne became the UK’s youngest parents at just 14 years old when their son, Jamie, was born. Their story drew national attention, sparking both concern and curiosity. April discovered her pregnancy at 13 and hadn’t told her parents out of embarrassment. Nathan admitted they used no contraception. Though both families were initially shocked, they offered support. Jamie was born via C-section and required surgery shortly after birth due to a health complication, but recovered well.
The young couple didn’t stay together. By 2014, April confirmed they had split and were no longer in contact. She left school to focus on raising Jamie but expressed interest in continuing her education later.
Today, April, now 28, is a mother of three and in a happy relationship with her partner, Jake. Nathan has also moved on—he’s engaged and has more children of his own. Despite their early start and challenges, both have built stable, fulfilling lives.
Their journey is a powerful reminder that with support and resilience, young parents can overcome the odds and thrive.
