Maci Bookout can see Ryan Edwards‘ growth as a dad.
The star from “Teen Mom,” who has a 16-year-old son named Bentley with her ex, praised her former partner several months following the birth of his daughter Presley in February, whom he had with his fiancée Amanda Conner.
Maci observed that Ryan, who has children Jagger (10) and Stella (5) with his ex-partner Mackenzie Standife, appears different to her now than he did when their first child, Bentley, was born. She remarked in a confession, “When Bentley came into our lives, we were still kids ourselves. We were absolutely terrified.
At 33 years old, she who became a mother to Bentley at age 17 during her appearance on the precursor show 16 & Pregnant, expressed that Ryan has been “taking in each moment more and is clearly much more present. It required considerable effort to reach this point.
As a lifestyle enthusiast, I eagerly anticipate those special moments when all my little ones can gather together. It’s truly heartwarming to envision them sharing laughter, creating treasured memories, and forming bonds that will last a lifetime.
Maci and Ryan have made significant strides in their co-parenting journey. As the Teen Mom star—who is also mother to Jayde (9) and Maverick (8) with her husband Taylor McKinney—shared exclusively with TopMob News in 2024, “A lot of effort has been put forth by everyone involved.” She continued, “We have focused on personal growth, which has led to a natural improvement in our co-parenting.
Besides seeing an enhancement in his interactions with others, it’s also worth mentioning that Ryan’s self-relationship seems to have significantly improved, as pointed out by Maci.
“I feel like he’s done the work, is still doing the work,” she said. “And it’s really cool to see.”

Not just Ryan’s interactions with others have seen an upgrade, as Maci pointed out; his self-relationship too seems to be in a healthier state now.
“I feel like he’s done the work, is still doing the work,” she said. “And it’s really cool to see.”
Read on to see which Teen Mom couples are still together and which called it quits.
Audience members witnessed Catelynn Lowell and her now-spouse Tyler Baltierra face a challenging decision to give their first child, Carly, up for adoption, during the premiere of ’16 and Pregnant’ in 2009. Since then, this beloved pair has been together for 13 years, and they exchanged vows in August 2015. They have since welcomed three more daughters into their family: Novalee, Vaeda, and Rya.
Although the void left by Carly, who resides with her adopted family, Brandon and Teresa Davis, continues to be felt deeply, they remain steadfast in their pursuit of a hopeful future.
In an interview with TopMob News in January 2025, Catelynn expressed their connection with the adoptee is whatever she desires: a bond with biological siblings, a relationship with them, or no contact at all. Whatever form it takes, it’s crucial for her to be comfortable and in control, as it should be guided by her needs and preferences.
In the span of less than six months since they began their relationship, viewers witnessed Maci Bookout grapple with Ryan Edwards’ irresponsible behavior on the show 16 and Pregnant. Despite their engagement, this high school sweetheart couple separated less than a year after welcoming their son Bentley in 2008.
Currently, they are concentrating on establishing a collaborative parenting bond. In 2023, Maci disclosed this to TopMob News, stating that Ryan is being more regular than perhaps he has been in the past.
As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase it this way: In the year 2012, I found my lifelong partner in Texas native Taylor McKinney. We started growing our family unit shortly after and were blessed with our beautiful daughter Jayde in May 2015. A year later, we added another joyous member to our team, our son Maverick. October of the same year saw us exchanging vows in Florida and officially becoming a married duo.
Speaking to TopMob News in 2023, she described her partner as her life and parenting companion, as well as a key figure in their TTM Lifestyle fashion brand. “He’s simply my preferred choice,” she said. “Despite facing challenging times together, I find myself still picking him at the end of the day. He brings me joy, and even on days when I feel like giving him a stern rebuke, I’d rather fight with him or go through difficult periods together than be without that turmoil with anyone else.
Even though both of us have ventured into new romantic relationships post our time on MTV’s The Challenge, my former co-star and I remain deeply committed to nurturing our beautiful daughter Ryder as loving parents.
Cheyenne shared with TopMob News in March 2020, “From the very start of Cory joining Ryder’s life, our main focus has been about the kind of father and parent he wanted to be. I didn’t want him to be a dad who only shows up at fun times or for social media moments. He needed to commit fully. From the get-go, I believe he admired my approach, which is why we co-parent so effectively.
Following the end of their romance in 2018, they chose to rekindle their relationship. During Cheyenne’s 28th birthday party, she announced on Instagram that she was back with Zach again. In May 2021, they were blessed with their first child, a son named Ace, and got married in September 2022.
In an interview with TopMob News in 2024, Cheyenne shared that the previous two years were spent crossing items off their list. Specifically, they managed to achieve three significant milestones: having a baby (Ace), getting married, and purchasing a home.
She went on to say, “I have no desire for action or setting new goals. Instead, I yearn for tranquility. My aim is simply to remain still and content with our current situation. I wish for us to appreciate one another more deeply. That’s all I ask for.
Developing a connection during filming for ‘Ex on the Beach’ might seem unlikely to be the beginning of a romantic tale, but fast forward several years with two beautiful daughters, Mila and Maya, in tow, Cory and ‘Are You the One?’ alum Taylor Selfridge are still creating quite a splash.
2023 found me overjoyed and bursting at the seams with excitement as I shared the news with TopMob News – we’ve finally bought a house! I could sense the curiosity in everyone’s eyes, especially about our wedding plans. Let me set your minds at ease, it’s indeed a topic of conversation between us. We’re still in search of that perfect ring and I’m planning to pop the question soon. Taylor truly deserves this milestone, and it’s something we both eagerly anticipate. For now, we’re focusing on taking each step carefully as we move forward together towards our special day.
After tying the knot with Mackenzie Standifer in May 2017, Ryan found himself checking into rehab. During his treatment, Mackenzie gave birth to their first child, Jagger, in 2018.
Initially, the couple welcomed baby girl Stella in January 2020, but Mackenzie filed for divorce three years after that. Currently, Ryan is betrothed to Amanda Conner, who is pregnant with their first child.
Despite their tumultuous relationship ending definitively in 2013, this former couple has successfully shared parenting responsibilities of their now teenage daughter Leah for quite some time.
In an interview with TopMob News in January 2022, Amber shared, “We enjoy each other’s company from afar, yet our bond remains strong. Our connection has evolved into something more akin to a family rather than just a relationship.
It’s true that families can have disagreements at times. Lately, Amber has been vocalizing quite a few statements about Gary on social media, which implies that their relationship as exes might not be very amicable now.
Following several years as a couple, a proposal, and an attempt at reconciliation on the show “Marriage Boot Camp”, Amber and Boston-native Matt Baier ended their engagement in 2017.
In my perspective, there comes a time when one becomes fatigued by constant input and gradually finds themselves detaching emotionally in a partnership. This is how I believe our situation started to unfold. As the relationship wore on, I found myself growing indifferent, struggling to care as deeply as before. To protect myself from potential pain, I erected a barrier around my heart.
On the set of “Marriage Boot Camp,” Amber developed feelings for crew member Andrew Glennon. They first appeared as a couple at the 2017 MTV Movie Awards, and in May 2018, they welcomed their first child, James, into their family.
However, the pair parted ways shortly following Amber’s arrest on charges of domestic battery in July 2019. After a protracted legal dispute, it was determined that their son would reside primarily with Andrew, who is originally from California, and he was granted both legal and physical custody in 2022.
The “Teen Mom” celebrity shared with TopMob News that they’ve put in a lot of effort to enhance themselves personally and strengthen their bond with their kids. They emphasized that despite openly discussing their history with substance abuse and mental health issues, everyone deserves an opportunity for redemption, and should not be defined solely by their past struggles.
Persisting in my efforts, I tell you, “Even if your path hasn’t always been smooth, but you’ve striven to grow into a better, stronger and compassionate individual today, continue on your journey as I am. I promise I won’t back down in my struggle for the children who mean the world to me.
Following an online encounter with Amber, Dimitri Garcia first appeared on “Teen Mom OG” in April 2020. On the program, Amber revealed that Dimitri is from Belgium and ten years older than her, but she finds him very attractive. As they grew closer, they decided to meet because of their mutual fondness for each other.
In April 2021, Amber disclosed on the special reunion episode of Teen Mom OG that she was still seeing Dimitri. “We’ve known each other for approximately 18 months,” she clarified. “However, I haven’t met him in a year.” Despite not publicly confirming a breakup, Amber later presented her new partner, Gary Wayt, during the June 2024 episode of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter.
In the whirlwind of autumn 2023, as I swiped through a dating app, it was none other than Gary 2.0 who captured my screen when Amber, a seasoned Teen Mom, presented him to her fellow cast members over a virtual gathering.
Despite his proposal in May 2024, their relationship didn’t last long. During her brother’s wedding in North Carolina in June, there was an argument between them and Gary left abruptly, causing Amber to report him as missing.
And while Gary was soon located, the duo’s engagment wasn’t the only thing left broken.
Amber shared on “Teen Mom: The Next Chapter” that she spent three to four days believing her fiancé was deceased. She had to cope with the emotional burden of grieving and struggling to understand why such a thing would happen to her. At this moment, she’s grappling with some tough experiences.
She went on, “This man shattered me. Before him, I was solid and steady. For the first time in years, I’m not functioning at my best because a man proposed to me with a ring.
A few months following the arrival of their daughter Emilee in April 2015, Gary and Kristina Anderson eventually tied the knot in a charming seaside wedding ceremony.
In his 2022 Instagram post, Gary expressed, “Your soul is one of the most radiant ones I’ve encountered. I can’t imagine going through life without you by my side.
In December 2008, two months before Sophia’s birth, the man who was Farrah Abraham’s daughter’s father tragically lost his life in an accident.
In her first significant romance following the demise of her high school sweetheart, Farrah was involved with real estate professional Simon Saran for a span of more than two years, with periods of both togetherness and separation.
Despite their bitter separation in 2017, which was as unpleasant as cease-and-desist proceedings can be, they made an effort, albeit faltering, to preserve their friendship.
Simon expressed to TopMob News that he holds no grudges against Farrah. He explained they come from distinct backgrounds; she prefers the artificial side of things while he seeks authenticity. Despite their differences, he wishes only the best and much success for her in all her future pursuits.
As a devoted follower of their story, I would put it this way: Back when my son Jace was just a newborn in 2009, his parents – namely Jenelle Evans and Andrew Lewis – parted ways. Regrettably, throughout Jace’s adolescence, the model had little to no active role in his life.
Jenelle pondered on a 2019 episode of Teen Mom 2, saying, “I do feel sorry for Jace since he’s his father. Yet, I know his character, and I don’t want him to let my son down. I don’t wish for him to reappear only to disappear again.
Following a one-year marriage to Courtland Rogers and the birth of her second child, Kaiser, with ex-boyfriend Nathan Griffin in 2014, Jenelle then got married to David Eason on their North Carolina property in September 2017. This wedding took place eight months after they had welcomed their daughter, Ensley, into the family.
Following a turbulent period, David was accused and charged with a minor child abuse offense concerning Jace. Jenelle compared it to a malicious smear campaign at the time. Later, she disclosed that they had parted ways. “I wanted to file for divorce immediately,” she stated on social media, “but in North Carolina, you must be legally separated for a year first, and you need to demonstrate two distinct residences.
Recall the suave individual who once posed the question to his ex-girlfriend, Chelsea Houska, regarding when he could officially transfer ownership of what he referred to as a “mistake”?
Completely in the rearview.
Despite the long odds, the former Teen Mom star and current HGTV personality maintains a surprisingly peaceful connection with her high school ex, Adam Lind, who is Aubree’s father. She shared this in an interview with Us Weekly: “There’s no negative energy and it’s just an open relationship.” She added that there are no lingering resentments and their encounters are always amicable.
Back in 2014, Chelsea and Cole DeBoer first crossed paths at a gas station, which later led to their marriage in October 2016. Since then, they’ve expanded their family with the arrival of their son Watson in 2017, followed by daughters Layne in 2018 and Walker in 2021. Now, this loving couple has embarked on a new shared venture: Their HGTV series, “Down Home Fab.
Speaking with TopMob News, I expressed my enthusiasm about potentially returning to TV. I wanted the comeback to be refreshing, uplifting, and a chance for audiences to truly see who I am. It simply felt like the perfect fit, as I described it, this was an incredibly exciting opportunity to share that authentic side of me.
Initially friends turned spouses, Leah Messer and Corey Simms aimed to build a lifelong bond. However, only six months after their October 2010 wedding, the parents of now-teenage twins Aleeah and Aliannah decided to part ways by filing for divorce.
Corey has been married to Miranda Patterson since 2013.
In the year 2012, Leah got married to Jeremy Calvert. The following year, they were blessed with a daughter whom they named Adalynn.
Despite parting ways in 2015, they have been diligent in co-parenting their daughter, with outcomes that can at times be varied. Speaking to TopMob News, Leah expressed her contentment, stating, “I see a more complete and improved version of myself through this experience. Witnessing what they adore and cherish, and being able to encourage them in their lives is nothing short of enchanting. I revel in it. I cherish being a mother, particularly for my daughters.
By the year 2021, when Leah made it official on Instagram with Jaylan Mobley, this U.S. Army officer had already won over not just Leah, but also her children.
The couple announced their engagement in August 2022, but broke up that October.
A year after the event, the Teen Mom celebrity admitted to TopMob News that they really needed the breakup. They have since gained valuable insights from their past relationship and are optimistic about their future, feeling as though a new chapter in their life is just starting.
At the tender age of seventeen, Kailyn Lowry had her first child, Isaac, with her high school sweetheart Jo Rivera, in the year 2010.
Although they separated a year afterwards, they have now established a harmonious co-parenting setup. Interestingly, Kailyn teamed up with Jo’s wife, Vee Torres, to host her discontinued podcast titled “Baby Mamas No Drama“. Reflecting on their past as teenagers, Kailyn penned on X following Jo and Vee’s 2018 wedding, expressing that she couldn’t wish for a better stepmother for Isaac.
Kailyn’s second child, Lincoln, became part of the team in November 2013. This was approximately a year following Kailyn’s marriage to her son’s father, Javi Marroquin, who was then a prominent figure on Teen Mom 2.
In late 2016, their relationship had its ups and downs, with Javi and his fiancée, Lauren Comeau (who are already parents to son Eli), announcing in December 2023 that they were expecting their second child together, this time a girl.
Kailyn gave birth to sons Lux and Creed while in an off-again, on-again relationship with Chris Lopez, but ultimately decided to part ways permanently.
She shared with TopMob News in 2020 that currently, there is no communication between us. However, I’m optimistic that things will improve over time, but I don’t have any grand plans. I don’t wish to express anything negative. I simply hope for the best for our children, that everything resolves itself in whatever way it may.
Kailyn is content with her current partner, Elijah Scott, as she feels they have established a solid base. According to her conversation with People, Elijah is unlike any of her previous partners or her children’s fathers. “He’s quite distinct,” she said of Elijah, who is the father of her son Rio and twins Verse and Valley. “He works with concrete, getting his hands dirty on the job. Yet, he’s also a devoted family man. He has strong ties with his own family as well as ours, making him an excellent partner for me. I believe our relationship is a good fit.
A strong enough one that she finally said yes to one of his many proposals, in fact.
In an interview with TopMob News in September 2024, Kailyn firmly stated that her neighbor-turned-partner repeatedly proposed marriage to her, and she never explicitly declined. She explained, “I would simply respond with ‘Yes,’ but I wasn’t ready at that moment.
As much as I admit that the construction worker significantly shifted my perspective on matrimony, I’m not in a hurry to start shopping for a wedding gown just yet. Humorously put, whether or not I tie the knot soon hinges on the particular day you ask me about it now.
Despite experiencing numerous highs and lows since the birth of their daughter Kloie in 2017, Indiana residents Jade Cline and Sean Austin hinted to followers in January 2022 that they were experiencing a period of growth and improvement.
She shared with TopMob News that significant events occurred in our lives, along with substantial advancements in Sean’s life and future. I am incredibly proud of him and where we stand now. Eight months following this conversation, the couple announced their engagement, tying the knot in October 2023.
In 2024, Jade confided in TopMob News that her relationship isn’t flawless all the time. However, she emphasized that their love for one another keeps them going, and they manage to make things function smoothly despite any challenges.
In the year 2021, residents of California, Ashley Jones and Bar Smith, had a private wedding ceremony. This was four years following the arrival of their child, Holly, into their family.
But after calling off their romance several times, Ashley officially filed for divorce in 2024.
Following the birth of Nova in 2011 between Teen Mom star Briana DeJesus and Devoin Austin II, there were signs that they might rekindle their relationship.
In the year 2024, I confidently shared with TopMob News my evolving romantic preferences: “Nowadays, I’m yearning for a real man, not the boys I’ve grown accustomed to dating in the past. I want a fully-grown, mature companion who can match my passion and zest for life.
Following her stint on the solitary season of “Teen Mom 3”, Briana became a cast member on “Teen Mom 2” during its eighth season, and welcomed her second daughter, Stella, with ex-partner Luis Miguel, in July 2017.
After that point, Luis’ participation has been minimal at most. In an episode of Teen Mom 2 from December 2019, Briana shared with Dr. Drew, “I believe he desires a family with me, but since I’m not providing that to him, he seems to want to distance himself entirely.
