It looks like Maci Bookout’s son, Bentley, is going to have yet another sibling very soon!
And no, it’s not Maci herself who is giving him another brother or sister. Instead, this half-sibling will come from his father, Ryan Edwards and his wife Mackenzie!
Even though the two have been very quiet during this pregnancy, they’re now spilling all of the details about the exciting news!
Maci Bookout has had a pretty difficult storyline when it comes to her first baby daddy and ex boyfriend, Ryan Edwards. She’s had to watch with worry as he battled an addiction opiates, and things got even more complicated when his new girlfriend, Mackenzie Edwards, was introduced.
At first, Maci and Mackenzie got along great. After Maci met up with Mackenzie for the first time, she told her husband Taylor McKinney that she was happy Ryan had found her.
But their relationship didn’t stay good for very much longer.
Mackenzie and Maci stopped seeing eye to eye, specifically because Mackenzie refused to admit that Ryan was addicted. Soon, Mackenzie and Ryan found themselves booted from the show!
The couple confirmed this update to People.
“We’re not returning to Teen Mom this season,” Mackenzie spilled in the interview. However, she claimed that it was MTV’s decision.
“The network [MTV] told us they don’t want to show Ryan as a recovering addict,” Mackenzie said. She added that MTV “did want to enter a contract with our unborn baby and have the baby film with Ryan’s parents so it would look like someone else is raising it.”
Mackenzie went on, “They want to talk about us but they don’t want to pay us and film us.” Mackenzie claimed that Maci was in on the decision, threatening not to film unless Ryan and Mackenzie were off!
But luckily for those who love watching Ryan and Mack’s story, this disagreement between them and MTV wasn’t destined to last forever. In fact, to the surprise of many, they appeared in the most recent season of Teen Mom OG, and will also be in the next!
It probably doesn’t hurt that the couple have a huge change coming in their family: they’re expecting their second child together!
And now Mackenzie is confirming that her birth -- which is coming very soon -- will be filmed for the show!
Ryan Edwards’ father, Larry, confirmed this update to The Sun Online.
“She will be here after Christmas and the New Year,” Larry revealed. “Ryan said he is going to spoil her. He wants to give her my camaro! She’s going to be a daddy’s girl.”
He also confirmed that the birth will be filmed. “The crew is going to come in town a day or two before the baby comes to film the birth.”
Although Mackenzie and Ryan have been keeping the name of their child a secret, Larry dropped a huge hint about the name!
He revealed that his granddaughter will have a “family name.”
“The middle name is after a member on my wife Jen’s side. The first name is a modern name. It’s cool,” he shared.

Maci Bookout Reveals Pregnancy In Shocking Photo?
With Teen Mom 2 winding down with the airing of the reunion specials, fans have one thing on their minds: when will Teen Mom OG return?
Even though Teen Mom 2 served endless drama this season, we can’t stop wondering what’s going on with the OG girls. From domestic violence to arrests and everything in between, we have a lot to catch up on. But does Maci Bookout have a huge reveal that fans didn’t expect?
Maci Bookout has had a pretty complicated storyline in the past seasons of Teen Mom OG. Much like her Teen Mom 2 counterpart Chelsea Houska, she’s had to battle to co-parent with a baby daddy who is struggling with substance abuse.
Meanwhile, she’s also had to battle the family of that co-parent, Ryan Edwards! Last season’s reunions grew increasingly tense when it grew clear that Ryan’s wife Mackenzie Standifer and his parents were unwilling to admit to the complications of Ryan’s substance abuse, and even blamed Maci for some of his problems!
In fact, Maci’s next child could have a playdate if the families manage to patch things up, since Mackenzie Edwards is having her second child, and she recently got a drastic makeover!
“Lunch with baby love,” Mack captioned this shot of her and her son, Jagger. It looks like Mack has gone brunette!
Fans poured out support on Instagram.
“You look great!” one fan wrote. “You are seriously gorgeous!!!” another gushed.
Mackenzie recently revealed that she is pregnant with a girl who will be arriving in January, and that Ryan is stepping up to the plate.
“Finding out she was pregnant again put a pep in his step on the dad part,” an insider told Radar Online. “He’s been helping with the kids and everything. Has kept his nose clean and is stepping up.”
But Mack isn’t the only one making waves on Instagram. Maci’s recent post has fans buzzing about a potential pregnancy!
Maci and Tyler decided to model these Things That Matter jackets themselves, and many fans thought that they spotted a baby bump!
“Are u pregnant?!?!?!?!!!!!” one fan demanded in the comments section. Another wrote, “Are you prego or just a bad angle? The position of your fist on your hip too.”
One fan chimed in, “Something we can finally comment on! So are you expecting 🤰🏽? You are glowing! Congratulations if so!” Another added, “You look like you are pregnant in this photo. If you are congrats!”
But many fans wrote in with their annoyance of these constant questions as well. “Man y'all can't just like a picture without asking if someone is fricken pregnant!! How rude!” one fan wrote. Another typed, “do you know how rude it is to ask if she's preggo! If she is she'll let us know when she wants too.”
