Boy or girl?!
When your entire stardom revolves around pregnancy, it’s no surprise that fans will always wonder when the next pregnancy announcement is coming. Although many of the Teen Mom stars have sworn up and down that they’re done having children, time and again their unexpected pregnancies take fans by surprise. Even though Maci Bookout has confirmed that she’s done having biological children in the past, this season of Teen Mom OG, she was singing a different tune.
Maci and her husband Taylor have had a lot on their plate with Ryan Edwards’ addiction this season, but they’ve also been considering expanding their family. Even though they’ve revealed that they see themselves adopting in the future, fans noticed Maci mention once or twice that she was thinking of having a biological child as well.
Could Maci already be pregnant? It seems that the key to that answer could be found in this shocking photo!
Baby Plans
When Maci Bookout found herself pregnant with her third child, she didn’t hide the fact that it was an unexpected surprise. She vented that having two babies at the same time would present more than its fair share of problems, but of course Maci and her husband Taylor McKinney made raising three kids look like a piece of cake.
But since then, they’ve been seriously considering expanding their family. There’s just one twist: they want to adopt!
“What kind of timeline were you thinking about for adoption?” Taylor asked his wife in an episode of Teen Mom OG.
Maci revealed, “A year, two years… But we both agreed that when we adopt, we do not want to adopt a baby. We want to adopt a child.” They went on to agree that they would want a child between four and six years old.
“If you still want another baby, then I’ll do it — but I still want to adopt, too. And if that’s really what you want naturally, I want to do it now,” Maci revealed. Well, now it looks like they went through with their plans!
Wild and Free
The McKinney family took some time to celebrate Maci for Mother’s Day — and it seems she might soon have four children celebrating her! Maci captioned the video, “When Taylor asked me what I wanted to do for Mother's Day, I told him I wanted to be wild and free! Took the top off the jeep, strapped the babies in and went to the mountains 💜 Hoping that one day my children will appreciate being healthy, wild and free!”
In the video, Maci and her entire family jam out to a country song called “Wild As You.” But it’s not until the very end of the clip that fans noticed something different. In the final shot of Maci and her family standing on top of the Jeep, fans thought they saw a baby bump!
Baby Bump?
“Did I see a bump in the picture?” wrote Instagram user @esmi_bbys. User @stacie_culotta agreed, “I see a bump!!!!!”
This is far from the only shot that has fans thinking Maci is already pregnant. In a recent selfie of her with Jayde and Maverick, fans zeroed in on the shape of Maci’s face!
“She’s pregnant again!! Those cheeks tell all!” wrote Instagram user @minot.noir on this picture of Maci. User mysticalostrich agreed, “She looks pregnant! HER CHEEKS! 😊😏” User @mariagro79 wrote, “Yes shes looks pregnant… Besides the round face she totally has a bump.”
In fact, Maci’s skin is looking so smooth and full that fans have wondered if she’s gotten botox!
Face Changes
Reddit user VickiVyvanse wrote, “Does Maci use Botox? Watching the reunion and her forehead was so smooth,” adding this image of Maci at the reunion.
“Idk about Botox, but I’ve seen some speculation on Twitter that she’s pregnant bc her face does look fuller,” wrote user spookyookydoo. They added, “While I do not think she’s pregnant, I do think her face looks different. Can’t quite put my finger on what though.” User Pinkiexoxoxo wrote, “I definitely don’t think she’s pregnant either but I do think she looks great with a little extra weight on her and it very well could be here that she has that extra weight on….”
Unfortunately, Maci Bookout has a lot on her hands, whether or not she’s pregnant. Her baby daddy Ryan Edwards has been battling his addiction to heroin for the duration of the recent season of Teen Mom OG.
Although he insisted that he was sober, Maci refused to give him additional custody with Bentley until he passed a drug test. Apparently that was the right move, since Ryan Edwardswas just busted driving with heroin!
"I Have a Problem"
According to a citation from Red Bank City Court in Tennessee and published by Radar Online, 30-year-old Ryan Edwards was pulled over at traffic stop because he had an expired tag. One officer noticed that Ryan had an open backpack in the passenger seat with hypodermic needles inside.
“I asked Edwards if he had any medical conditions and he replied, ‘No,’” the citation published by Radar reads. “I then asked why he had a hypodermic needle in his backpack and he replied, ‘I don’t know.’ I told them that the vehicle will be searched and he should inform me if there are more and Edwards replied, ‘Yes, probably.’”
When the vehicle was searched, police found fourteen hypodermic needles in Ryan’s possession. One of them was loaded with heroin, and there was also a “bag tied in the center console with a dark substance inside,” reports Radar. When the police officer asked what it was, Ryan replied, “It’s heroin and I have a problem.”
Difficult Timing
Officers also found two silver spoons with residue as well as a scale. Ryan was in possession of 1.8 grams of heroin.
Ryan wasn’t arrested, but he was issued a misdemeanor citation for simple possession of heroin and possession of drug paraphernalia.
There’s never a good time to be arrested for heroin use, but Ryan’s arrest comes at a particularly difficult time for his family. This is because his wife Mackenzie Standifer has just confirmed her pregnancy!
Name Game
“Ryan is actually really excited about this baby,” a source revealed to The Ashley’s Reality Roundup at the time. “They were trying to keep it quiet in the beginning, though, because they knew that [viewers] would have a lot of negative things to say.” In fact, they’ve already revealed the name and gender of their baby!
“[Mackenzie] is due October 16 and they are having a boy,” a source close to Ryan and Mackenzie spilled to Radar Online. They even revealed the name of the baby!
Unfaithful
“They plan to name their son Jagger,” the source revealed.
“Ryan was so excited [about the pregnancy] he couldn’t contain himself,” Mackenzie told a producer on a recent episode of Teen Mom OG. But Ryan didn’t seem quite so excited. “Crib, stroller, diapers, clothes, baby food, bottles… Call me when he’s about three,” he said.
Ryan’s resignation isn’t the only thing coming between him and Mackenzie. He has also just been busted cheating on Mackenzie with his ex! If Maci is pregnant, she’ll have a lot more on her hands than just raising a newborn!
