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!
According to Mack, Maci told MTV “She’s not going to film unless [Ryan enters] rehab again and quit the show.”
Mackenzie and Ryan shared more details about their departure from MTV with E! News.
“[MTV wants] to take Maci’s word on how I’m doing,” Ryan said. “Maci’s said she’s not going to film unless I enter rehab again and quit the show. But I’m sober.”
“I know they did want five girls to begin with after Farrah left to sort of resemble Teen Mom 2,” Mackenzie claimed. “But they didn’t want to see another recovering addict storyline. So they’re writing us out of the show right now and making it seem like we dipped out on our baby, on Bentley and on everyone. And that’s just not the case.”
It seems that Mack and Ryan are still at odds with MTV, but that doesn’t mean their lives have been put on hold. Mack recently debuted a stunning new look that has fans shocked.
“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.”
