It’s been about a week since Ryan Edwards got out of rehab, and the former Teen Mom OG star has been keeping a low profile during that time.
That’s a very good thing, as the last time he checked out of a treatment facility, Edwards immediately started bashing Maci Bookout on Instagram.
This time around, he’s keeping his nose clean, focusing on his sobriety, and spending time with his newborn son.
But that doesn’t mean we’re totally in the dark about how Ryan is doing these days.
Both Maci and Ryan’s wife, Mackenzie Standifer, have offered updates recently, and so far, fans like what they’re seeing.
Take a look:
Triumphant Ryan
We don’t want to jinx him, but it looks like Ryan may have finally turned things around.
Sticking It Out
Despite initial reports that he left rehab early again, Ryan reportedly lasted for the entire 90-day course of treatment.
Moves Like Jagger
Ryan even missed the birth of his second son, Jagger, in order to complete treatment.
The Return
But now that he’s back, it seems Ryan is making up for lost time.
Q&A
Mackenzie recently took to Instagram to answer fans’ questions about what life’s been like since welcoming Jagger into the world.
Point-Blank
The question that got the most attention, of course, had to do with Mackenzie’s relationship with Ryan.
Life With Ryan
“How’s life now that Ryan’s home with the kids and new baby?” one follower asked.
Big Help
“He’s the biggest help,†Mack responded. “I love this man.â€Â
Nothing But Praise
And Mackenzie wasn’t done gushing about Ryan there.
Brimming With Gratitude
“God has blessed me with the most caring husband and kids,” she continued in a separate IG story.
Vulnerability
“It’s hard to be vulnerable and it means so much to have them in my corner!” Mackenzie added.
Words of Wisdom
Standifer concluded with some advice for fans, writing, “Don’t give up on love. It’s real. It breaks walls that have been built out of stone.â€Â
Happy Endings
It sounds like Mackenzie is happier than she’s ever been.
Darkest Before the Dawn
Of course, she had to get through one of the most difficult periods of her life in order to get here.
Maci’s Thoughts
Of course, it’s no surprise that Mackenzie is in Ryan’s corner. What IS surprising about this week is that we learned the extent to which Maci is rooting for Edwards.
Bound By Bentley
Ryan is the father of Maci’s oldest child, Bentley, but he’s also been brutally cruel to her over the years.
A Threat to Her Safety
In fact, Maci is currently protected by a restraining order that prevents Ryan from making contact with her.
Surprising Compassion
So many fans were surprised by a scene in this week’s episode of Teen Mom OG in which Maci had nothing but good things to say about her ex.
Bentley Geared Up
The scene showed Bentley returning from his first visit with his new half-brother.
Ryan’s Genes
“He looks like daddy a lot,” Bentley reported when asked about Jagger’s appearance.
Dad in the ‘Hab
While Ryan was still in rehab at the time, Bentley skyped with him and reported that he should be home in “probably about a week or three weeks.”
Keeping It Positive
“That’s good,” Bookout responded. “That will be good for your dad. Good thing you’re a good big brother!”
A Good Situation
Obviously, it’s not easy for an addict to stay sober under any conditions.
Support Network
But Ryan is leaving treatment under just about the best conditions anyone could ask for.
We Wish Him the Best
He’s financially well-off; he’s surrounded by people who love him, and he’s got plenty of support. Here’s hoping he’ll be able to turn things around.
