The 14-year-olds became Britain’s youngest parents

In 2010, April Webster and Nathan Fishbourne became the youngest parents in the UK, a title that would follow them for years.

They were just 13 when April became pregnant, and by the time their son, Jamie, entered the world, they had both turned 14.

Their story made headlines, sparking debates, shock, and curiosity. The world watched, some with judgment, others with sympathy. But when the media frenzy faded, and the headlines moved on, what happened to the family that had once captured the world’s attention?

Didn’t tell her parents

Becoming a parent is one of life’s biggest milestones, and for 14-year-olds April Webster and Nathan Fishbourne, it was no different. But one thing set them apart — their incredibly young age.

April and Nathan’s story began when they met as classmates at St Cenydd School in Caerphilly, South Wales. But their teenage romance took an unexpected turn when April became pregnant at just 13.

April discovered she was pregnant with Jamie just one day before her 14th birthday – and the news sent shockwaves through their families. April had not told her parents about their sexual relationship because she felt “too embarrassed.”

According to April and Nathan, they took no precautions whilst having sex because after trying contraceptives once, Nathan didn’t like it.

Nathan’s parents, Julie and Ron, a retired trucker, were angry with their son at first.

”I had a real go at him and told him he had been stupid. But we can’t undo what has happened and will now accept Jamie into our family. There’s no way we’ll turn our backs on him,” Ron told The Sun at the time.

After the initial shock, both the maternal grandparents prepared themselves to fully support the young parents.

April’s mother, Maria, then 36, shared, ”It was a big shock at first, but we let April make the decision on whether to go through with it.”

Jamie was born in November 2010, arriving through a dramatic cesarean section. Weighing 8lbs 14oz at birth, Jamie’s start was challenging due to a malformed oesophagus that made feeding difficult. However, doctors performed an operation, and after spending 11 days in the hospital, he was declared healthy and allowed to go home.

By the time the British tabloids caught wind of the story, Jamie was already four weeks old. At that point, he was living with his mother, April, at her parents’ home.

To paint a clearer picture of the situation, April and her newborn shared a room with her 17-year-old sister, Robyn, who pitched in by helping to feed Jamie with a bottle. The family dynamic was unique, to say the least, with the young mother navigating both the challenges of new motherhood and living under her parents’ roof.

Nathan lived a few miles away with his parents.

Confusion surrounding the relationship

Despite the unconventional circumstances, April was determined to be the best mother she could be.

”Jamie wasn’t planned, but I’m going to be a great mum for him. He’s perfect and I’m going to give him everything he ever wants,” April said.

Back in 2010, it was still uncertain how the young parents would manage to figure out the best way to raise their son.

”I’d love to have him at weekends – and April can have him five days during the week,” Nathan said at the time.

But early on, there was confusion surrounding the state of their relationship. April revealed that they were having a ”cooling off period” and admitted that she was unsure if their partnership would last.

Four years later, April shared that she and Nathan were no longer a couple.

“I broke up with Nathan about three years ago; we’re not really in contact,” she said in 2014. “I don’t really want to be in contact with him. When I first had Jamie, I hoped we might stay together. There are no regrets, though.”

April had initially planned to continue her education, but she never took her GCSEs, which is generally regarded as the equivalent of a US High School diploma.

“I’m not in school or working, I’m just looking after Jamie and everything is going amazingly with him,” she said.

Thankfully, April’s family and friends have been supportive all the way.

“My mom and sister love having Jamie in the house. He’s fun. He goes to school in the mornings, which gives me time to chill out. I might go to college and take some exams when Jamie is older. I’m not planning on having another baby soon, though.”

If we take a look at April’s social media today, we can see how much her life has blossomed since Jamie’s arrival.


She’s now a proud mother of three, with Jamie Rhys, Rowan David, and Ava Lianne. April, now 28 years old and known as April Lianna, is in a happy new relationship with her partner, Jake Jones. It’s heartwarming to see how far April has come and how wonderfully her life is unfolding.

Looking at where Nathan is today, it seems things are going well for him too. In February 2023, he got engaged to his partner, Samantha, and he’s also built a new family with several children. It’s great to see that Nathan has found happiness and is thriving in his own way.

Teen pregnancy can undoubtedly bring a host of challenges, from societal judgment to the pressures of raising a child at a young age.

However, in this case, we see that despite the early struggles, both April and Nathan have managed to build positive and fulfilling lives. It warms our hearts to see that both are involved in their parenthood and are there as Jamie grows into a young man. Wishing them all the best in the future!

Their stories are a reminder that, while the journey is not easy, with support and determination, it is possible to overcome adversity and find happiness.

Keith Urban breaks down when he hears Kelly Clarkson sing her heart out

We knew we were looking at a star when we first saw Kelly Clarkson in her environment. The extraordinarily gifted singer has repeatedly demonstrated that she is not only capable of hitting high notes with her strong voice but also of delivering them with genuine, sincere emotion.

She has the ability to sing songs that most of us would never ever think to try, but when she sings from the heart, something unique happens. The natural-born star’s performance of one of her own songs on the well-known TV talent show American Idol may be the most moving example of it. For Clarkson, who was making a comeback to the American Idol stage, this was a very sentimental event.

However, nobody could have predicted the range of emotions that would be surfacing from within her—Kelly Clarkson was also pregnant at the time of this performance. The judges merely sat in front of her to watch the performance, not to pass judgment.

Thousands of people nationwide were already familiar with Kelly Clarkson’s name at the time of this performance. The 36-year-old had demonstrated to the world how powerful her songwriting was and how she could move an entire crowd to tears.

The now-pregnant former American Idol winner took the stage one more to deliver her heartfelt popular ballad, “Piece by Piece.” She sung it from the bottom of her heart, causing tears to fall down the faces of everyone in the crowd. Everyone in the room, including the judges, was paying attention. Above all, her influence was evident on Keith Urban’s cheeks, a juror. He was just unable to contain his tears.

Above all, her influence was evident on Keith Urban’s cheeks, a juror. He was just unable to contain his tears. It is well known that Kelly Clarkson has a unique ability to convey emotion through her voice. She sang her hit song in front of an emotional audience on this particular day, proving it beyond a doubt.

However, because this song is based on Kelly’s own experiences, it resonates deeply with her. Kelly has to pause the song to gather herself just a few minutes in. Additionally, this occurs twice. She manages to muster the strength to finish her act in a stunning manner.

Kelly is truly excellent; her performance was so passionate and lovely! Additionally, Keith is incredibly gorgeous on the inside and out. You have to like him. ❤. Singing from the heart is something I greatly like in performers. To be honest, I sobbed uncontrollably during Kelly Clarkson’s performance. If Kelly’s performance touched you deeply, please share this story on Facebook with your loved ones.

Meet Yazemeenah Rossi, the 68-year-old hailed as the “world’s most beautiful grandmother”

I am full of admiration for people who prove that age is just a number.

Whether the person climbs mountains, bikes, plays computer games, it warms my heart when I see elderly people challenging the general idea that age plays a role.

This woman has been called “the world’s most beautiful grandmother” for years, which may not surprise you when you see what she looks like. But she is also a perfect example of beauty not being tied to youth.


Yazemeenah Rossi, born on December 21, 1955 in Corsica, France, has been on magazine covers from around the world. You might have even come across her in campaigns, appreciating her presence without necessarily pausing to consider her identity or age.

Over the years, she has also been working as an actress and appeared in several movies such as Timeless BeautyRelevator and The Grasslands.

At the outset of their modeling careers, aspiring models often find themselves compelled to work without compensation or for nominal fees, all in an effort to construct a substantial portfolio. However, Yazemeenah’s breakthrough came comparatively swiftly, defying the norm in the industry.

The French model and actress did not begin her career in her teens like most models do — she was already over 30 when she started, and she embarked on modeling at an age when models usually retire.

Unveils secret of her beauty

Already then, Yazemeenah was proving that she did not have to be young to be a model — something she would continue to prove over the next 30 years.

”I was a mother of two kids at 20, working from home, making clothes, knitting, interior design for friends and private clients. I knew since teen that I would never work in an office or stay at the same place through all my life, so even at the time when raising my children I was very active and independent,” she said in 2020.

Although she managed to work continuously as a model during all these years, she says that the model industry remains primarily for the young.

“There was a time, some years ago, when I started to think things would gradually begin to change and we’d start to see more older models, but that did not happen. I do believe that men and women have the same concerns about growing old, although men might talk less about it. Nobody likes to see their skin give in to gravity. At the same time, growing old is something beautiful because you become stronger with the passing of time,” Yazemeenah told Vice.

“Age is definitely a state of mind. If you are connected with your inner child, you can recharge your batteries and keep that energy. You need to have a playful, adventurous, curious spirit,” she says, adding there are no real “magic tricks” to keep you looking youthful.

Many who look at this beautiful lady are convinced that she has gone under the knife. Some say that it’s impossible to look so beautiful and young when you are almost 70 years old.

“I haven’t had any cosmetic surgery so far. The idea of going under the knife when I am perfectly healthy doesn’t make much sense to me.”

Over the years, the beautiful and timeless Yasmina Rossi has been praised for accepting and embracing her appearance just the way it was.

“I take oil and use it on my skin. I put rapeseed oil on my hair. I scrub my skin once a week with olive oil and fine sugar, and I eat an avocado a day and organic meat and fish,” she told The Potion Tree.

In December 2023, Yazemeenah will turn 68.

But she isn’t going to be slowing down as she told The Daily Mail, “I will model until the end of my life,” and added “But it’s not about modeling, it’s about witnessing, witnessing beauty, energy makes us alive…”

Older women should be proud of their bodies because each stage of life brings its own unique beauty and significance!

In essence, being proud of your body is a declaration of self-worth, a stand against ageism, and an affirmation of the beauty that comes with the passage of time. It is a celebration of the journey they’ve undertaken and the strength they possess, inspiring others to embrace their own bodies with love and appreciation.

This woman is really a source of inspiration. Press the share button so your friends can also see that age is just a number!

Grandma’s final photo of granddaughter minutes before she’s killed

A woman has shared a picture depicting the final moments of her granddaughter’s life shortly before the three-year-old’s tragic passing.

According to devastating reports, Scarlett Jensen was killed in a hit-and-run on October 7, 2022. Along with her 2-year-old brother, Henry, she was being minded by her grandmother as her mother, Samantha Jensen, and father were out of town for a wedding.

Yet when the three of them were out walking in the family’s private driveway in Oldtown, Idaho, something unthinkable happened. A Chevy Tahoe came racing down the road, running over Scarlett, her grandmother, and her brother.

“My mother was waving her hands, screaming for him to stop and she tried to grab my children to move them out of the way but he was going too fast,” Samantha Jensen recalled.

“Scarlett was killed almost instantly and my mom and Henry were critically injured.”

The suspect driving the Chevy fled the scene on foot before ultimately being apprehended several miles away. He is now serving a ten year prison sentence.

“Henry was life-flighted to the children’s hospital where they found a fractured spine, six broken ribs, a broken jaw, a broken collarbone, a liver laceration and several other injuries,” Samantha told PEOPLE.

“My mom had several broken bones but was able to be released from the hospital.”

She added: “Henry spent a week in the PICU before he was stable enough to come home, and he had a full body brace on for 10 weeks.”

In the weeks that followed, the family was enveloped in grief, but there was one small moment of reprieve when Samantha found a seemingly innocuous photo her mother had taken of Scarlett shortly before her death.

“My mom lost her phone when they were hit and it took us a while to find it, so when we finally did I was going through pictures and found that one,” Jensen says. “I looked at the timestamp and realized it was only five minutes before her declared time of death, so it must have been taken seconds before the person hit them.”

According to PEOPLE, the image in question was taken when Scarlett’s grandmother had taken her two grandchildren out to get ice cream.

“When they arrived home to our back driveway, Scarlett wanted to get out of the stroller to pick flowers,” Samantha explained. “That’s when my mom took the last picture I have of her alive.”

The heartbroken mother explained that her days now differ. Some are naturally tougher than others, but the family is doing its best to tackle their enormous grief.

“Some days, it feels like I am drowning, and some days I am able to tread water,” she told PEOPLE. “My whole family is putting in a lot of work in therapy and trying to heal as much as possible. My faith in the Lord has saved my life and helped me tremendously in my healing journey.”

At first the devastated mother found it difficult to look at the final picture of her little girl. 2 years on from her passing, though, Samantha came to realize that the image is a token of a beautiful life.

“I am so incredibly thankful to have that photo,” she told PEOPLE. “It captures the peaceful feeling of her last moments, the beauty she was surrounded by when she took her last breaths. I will forever picture her happy and carefree, picking flowers with her best friend and Meemaw.”

Rest in peace, Scarlett.
