The legal troubles of Love After Lockup star Amber Eggers: A closer look
Amber Eggers first appeared on the show during its second season, where her storyline focused on her relationship with Vincent Gonzalez. She had connected with Vincent while serving her prison sentence. The two began a relationship with Vincent hoping to establish a long-term commitment with Amber. He also went on to propose marriage to Amber shortly after her release.
However, their relationship was not smooth sailing because Amber wasn't as emotionally invested in the relationship as Vincent. She later revealed that her involvement with Vincent was for other reasons, such as efforts to stabilize her life after incarceration.
Amber came back in later episodes, focusing on her relationship with her ex-cellmate, Puppy. The connection between Amber and Puppy became a core part of her storyline as Puppy developed feelings for Amber.
Although Amber and Puppy share a long history and a bond, she claimed she didn't feel comfortable pursuing the romantic dynamic with him. During the time Amber spent on the show, her story revolved around trying to deal with personal relationships and life after prison.
