Ryan Edwards

On second thought...

... perhaps Maci Bookout actually does still hate Ryan Edwards.

When Mackenzie Standifer first started dating Ryan Edwards, she was openly unhappy.

You might think she was miserable because of Edwards' addictions, or the fact that his narcissism and general crappiness are rivaled in the annals of Teen Mom baby daddy history only by the likes David Eason or Adam Lind.

If you've kept up with all the Teen Mom gossip over the years, then you know that the relationship between Maci Bookout and Ryan Edwards hasn't been great for a while now.

And you also know that that's a major understatement.

The good news is that Ryan Edwards has come a long way since the time when he passed out while driving to his wedding with Mackenzie Standifer.

The less-encouraging news is that recovery is a lifelong process, and Ryan will need to remain vigilant for the rest of his days if he hopes to remain sober and be the kind of husband and father his family deserves.

On New Year's Day, troubled reality star Ryan Edwards and his wife Mackenzie Standifer welcomed their third child.

It's their second baby together; Ryan and Mackenzie both have additional sons from their previous relationships.

There was a time when it looked as though Teen Mom ne'er do well Ryan Edwards wouldn't be able to cut it as a family man.

After all, his first child with Mackenzie Standifer was born while Ryan was still in rehab. That's usually never a good sign.

According to a brand new and blessed new report, Ryan Edwards and Mackenzie Edwards rang in 2020 in grand fashion:

By becoming parents once again!

Troubled Teen Mom OG ne'er-do-well Ryan Edwards suddenly has a brand new reason to stay clean, sober and out of jail.

Or, to be more specific, Ryan Edwards will have a brand new reason to stay clean, sober and out of jail ... in about six months.

Earlier this year, Ryan Edwards left rehab after completing a 90-day course of treatment.

Family, friends, and fans were hopeful for his future -- but also wary.

If you're a longtime Teen Mom OG viewer, you know that Maci Bookout's baby daddy Ryan Edwards has been to hell and back over the course of the past two years.

Granted, many of Ryan's problems are self-created, and he's inflicted a tremendous amount of pain on his loved ones, but we're still rooting for the guy.

It appears as if a three-month stint behind bars truly may have rehabilitated Ryan Edwards.

We can't say for certain, of course. We may need to wait and see if he joins Tinder any time soon and hits some woman on there up for some cocaine.
