April Webster and Nathan Fishbourne made headlines in 2010 as the youngest parents in the United Kingdom. April was 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 pair met as classmates at St. Cenydd School in Caerphilly, South Wales. Their adolescent romance took a dramatic turn when April discovered her pregnancy just one day before her 14th birthday. The news shocked both families, though they ultimately pledged support for the young parents.
Jamie was born in November 2010 via a cesarean section. He faced immediate health challenges, including a malformed oesophagus that required surgery. After 11 days in the hospital, Jamie was deemed healthy enough to return home, where April lived with her parents and sister, balancing motherhood with family life.
Nathan and his parents lived nearby, and initially, there was uncertainty about the young couple’s relationship. April was determined to be the best mother she could be, while Nathan hoped to remain involved, planning to care for Jamie on weekends.
By 2014, April revealed that she and Nathan had separated and were no longer in contact. She had not completed her GCSEs, choosing instead to focus on raising Jamie with the support of her family. Despite the challenges, she remained positive about her role as a mother.
