Watch: 'Teen Mom' Star Jenelle Evans' Son Jace, 16, Moves Out Amid Family DramaIn the inaugural episode of 16 and Pregnant, viewers were introduced to Maci Bookout, a Tennessee-based softball player and cheerleader with a self-described "wild side." Her four-wheel-riding fiancé Ryan Edwards had chased the dirtbike-obsessed teen down and dropped to one knee because, as each episode of the MTV series began, "I'm pregnant." Some 16 sweet years later, the reality star is 34 and done with pregnancy, having welcomed Bentley, now 16, with Ryan, plus Jayde, 10, and Maverick, 9, with her husband of nearly nine years Taylor McKinney. And while her and Ryan's romance didn't even make it to the end of that premiere episode, their relationship has cruised into a new chapter with Maci excitedly celebrating Ryan's engagement to Amanda Conner and the February arrival of their daughter Presley. (He also shares Jagger, 10, and Stella, 5, with ex-wife Mackenzie Standifer.) The former pair even added a joint Florida getaway to their what-I-did-on-summer-vacation list, coming together for a late July beach trip. "See...you can be a blended family," Amanda captioned her Facebook post documenting their travels. "But only if you want what's best for your children."photos16 and Pregnant: Where Are They Now?To hear Maci tell it, Amanda has been great for her crew. "She has been a game-changer, honestly," Maci raved in a January interview with E! News. "We're very close friends and she's just got really great energy. She's very authentic and she genuninely loves and cares about Ryan and Bentley so obviously that's all I could ever ask for." And Maci's not the only franchise star counting her blessings. Middle school sweethearts Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baliterra marked their 10th wedding anniversary August 22-some 16 years after they placed eldest daughter Carly for adoption. And several other series stars have successfully made the transition from puppy love to co-parenting. "We all talk a lot," Cheyenne Floyd told E! in 2023 of the relationship she and husband Zach Davis share with Cory Wharton, dad to her 8-year-old daughter Ryder, and his girlfriend Taylor Selfridge. "We have to. The kids are still so young, that we're still trying to figure out how we want to parent them, what our parenting styles are. And it evolves and it changes."InstagramWhile her relationship status is set in stone-already parents to Ace, 4, she and Zach announced in May that they're expecting another baby-other Teen Mom stars are still searching for their rock. Or not, in the case of mom of three Leah Messer, who quipped to E! in January, "I'm really focused on my career and my daughters. And I think everything will fall into place the way it is. If I'm meant to be that cat lady, I will be that." Amber Portwood, meanwhile, is hopeful she's just scratched the surface of life with the North Carolina mountain man she's been dating for several weeks. "He's got a job for 20-something years, same exact job," she shared during a June TikTok Live. "And he's super sweet to me." Whether that translates to forever remains to be seen, but several other Teen Mom alum have found their ideal partners. Keep reading to see how they all match up. MTV Catelynn Lowell & Tyler BaltierraViewers watched Catelynn Lowell and now-husband Tyler Baltierra make the difficult choice to place their first daughter, Carly, for adoption, in 2009 on the inaugural season of 16 and Pregnant. After 13 years together, the fan-favorite couple wed in August 2015 and have since had three more daughters: Novalee, Vaeda and Rya. While the absence of Carly-who lives with her adoptive parents, Brandon and Teresa Davis-still aches, the couple keep fighting for a future. Their hope is their bond "is whatever she wants," Catelynn told E! News in January 2025. "Whether she just wants a relationship with her biological siblings, if she wants to have a relationship with us, awesome. If she doesn't, totally understand. Whatever that looks like for her. Because it needs to be adoptee-centered." TwitterMaci Bookout & Ryan EdwardsTogether less than six months when she got pregnant, viewers saw Maci Bookout struggle with an irresponsible Ryan Edwards on 16 and Pregnant. Though they got engaged, the high school sweethearts split less than a year after their son Bentley was born in 2008. These days they're focused on building a co-parenting relationship. "We're in a good place," Maci revealed to E! News in 2023, adding that Ryan is showing up "more consistently now than maybe he ever has before."Instagram Maci Bookout & Taylor McKinneyMaci found her forever teammate in Texan Taylor McKinney in 2012 and the pair soon began building up their squad.
