TEEN Mom star Mackenzie Edwards has posted a telling quote on her Instagram Story after her troubled ex Ryan entered into rehab.
The MTV dad, who shares his oldest son Bentley with Teen Mom star Maci Bookout, was arrested in February and again in March.

Mackenzie, 26, has – for the most part – been quiet about her estranged husband Ryan’s struggles.
Recently, however, she appeared to allude to the situation in an Instagram Story post.
She shared a quote that read: “There is not one day in your life that God does not already know about.
“There are no shocks or surprises. He is not worried about your today or tomorrow and He has already forgiven your past.
“He walks with you and gives your the grace for all the days to come – whatever they hold.”
She did not mention her husband by name, nor has she shared much about it at all.
The post came two weeks after Ryan’s most recent arrest and hours after news broke that the reality star father had been ordered into rehab.
GETTING HELP
On Wednesday, Page Six reported that a Tenessee judge ordered that Ryan get help for his substance abuse issues.
He is required to serve a sentence of 11 months and 29 days unless he is in rehab as a condition of a plea deal, documents obtained by the outlet revealed.
Ryan will also have to wear a GPS monitor, “successfully” complete substance abuse treatment, have zero contact with Mackenzie and not use social media in any capacity related to her.
The MTV star plead guilty to harassing his estranged wife.
There is, however, still a pending court date set for April 20 for that crime and another separate charge of possession of a controlled substance.
Possession of drug paraphernalia, violation of an order of protection, and stalking charges against him were all dropped.
A spokesperson for the Hamilton County Court confirmed to Page Six that Ryan is not currently in custody.
He is, however, on probation.
DOING TIME
Ryan was arrested on March 1 for aggravated stalking and violating a protection order on March 1 after authorities issued two warrants for his arrest on February 23.
The U.S. Sun previously confirmed that Ryan was released from jail just one day after the arrest.
He was “bonded out” after being held on $50,000 bail.
Ryan was set to appear in court again on March 6.
The Arrest Affidavit from Tennessee courts obtained by The U.S. Sun reveals the cryptic texts that landed him behind bars.
Ryan violated Mackenzie’s protection order against him by texting her on February 19 at 1:45am: “My god I don’t haven’t [sic] to live my life without you! Sorry!”
He texted her again on February 23 at 4:57pm: “For what it’s worth, I’m sorry and I do miss you.”
The court papers continued: “Mrs. Edwards didn’t respond to any messages from Mr. Edwards.”
Ryan was previously arrested for harassment, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of a controlled substance, and order of protection violation on February 10.
He has a court hearing for those charges at the end of the month.
Mackenzie filed a petition for a protection order against Ryan on February 8.
Mackenzie wrote in court papers of an alleged January 15, 2023 fight: “Arguing, Ryan punched holes in the walls and doors. [He] held me up by my neck to the wall. Threw me down in hallway and said if he could not have me no one could.
“Opened pocket knife, put to my back like he was going to kill me. This was in front of children. I tried to leave, he smashed my phone, took my car keys.”
Mackenzie wrote that a co-worker then called 911.
In the petition, Mackenzie claimed of a January 24, 2023 fight: “[He] came into bedroom where I was laying down. Pretending like he’s going to punch my face. Breaks bed with me in it. Getting in my face yelling.
“I went to get kids and leave. He wouldn’t let me leave. Threw me down in living room. Threw menthol nicotine in my eyes.”
Mackenzie claimed in the petition that her father called authorities and that officers found a loaded AR gun in the home.
She then described a February 8, 2023 phone call where he threatened her, claiming: “Phone call threatening me, saying I’m not going to like what’s going to happen to me.”
Mackenzie then named a motorcycle gang he joined and claimed they “will find [her].”
Ryan claimed to The U.S. Sun that he did not join the gang.
Mackenzie also noted Ryan has a “vast history of substance abuse.”
She claimed in the petition that sheriffs “documented him stating still using heroin” on January 28.
The former MTV star initially requested Ryan have no contact with her and stay away from her home and workplace.
She requested temporary custody of their children Jagger, four, and Stella, three, though she did not ask they be protected from their father.
She also asked the court to order Ryan to move out of their home “immediately.”
The mom of three listed three of Ryan’s guns.
On February 9, the court issued a temporary order of protection.
Ryan told The U.S. Sun of Mackenzie’s claims at the time: “I don’t speak for her. I never wanted to hurt her, just tried telling her. I would have loved to work on it because I still at the time wanted to.”
Mackenzie did not immediately respond to The U.S. Sun’s request for comment on the petition.
The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office told The U.S. Sun of the claims: “We do not have any additional comment to make on this incident other than what was originally listed in our press release.”
