'Teen Mom OG' alum Ryan Edwards, the ups and downs of Mackenzie Edwards

The drama continues even when the cameras stop. Former Teen mom OG stars Ryan Edwards And Mackenzie Edwards were fired from the show in 2021, but controversy has continued to follow the couple ever since.

Ryan joined the franchise in 2009 during the first season of 16 and pregnantas father of Maci Booksson, Bentley. After the Tennesseans' romance quickly soured, the Things That Matter co-founder struggled to find a way to deal with her ex — a difficult situation that played out on MTV for years and only got worse when Ryan suffered from substance abuse.

However, Ryan's addiction issues not only affected his relationships with Bentley and Maci, it also had a major impact on his romance with Mackenzie, who he met in 2016 and married a year later.

The couple, who welcomed two children of their own while Ryan was in and out of rehab, split in February 2023 after Ryan was arrested and charged with harassing Mackenzie. He was then arrested several times throughout the year on various charges – including drunken driving – before being sentenced to nearly 12 months in prison after pleading guilty to harassing Mackenzie. The estranged couple was spotted spending time together in August, seven months after Mackenzie filed for divorce.
