On a recent episode of Teen Mom OG, Mackenzie questioned Ryan about his relationship with Maci while the newlyweds were discussing their first children. She has a 4-year-old son with her ex, Zachary Stephens.
As a former teen mom, Mackenzie asked Ryan about the pressure that she felt at a young age to marry a co-parent. “I was seventeen,” she recalled to Ryan. “I lived with my mom and dad… yeah, it was hard. I remember when I got pregnant, they wanted me to marry [my baby daddy] Zach and do the right thing.”
“That would have been awful if Maci and I got married,” Ryan said. “Just completely awful.”
“But you know what?” Mackenzie responded. “I respect you so much for the fact that you had the balls to say ‘No, this isn’t what makes me happy…’”
However, the couple was very close to walking down the aisle.
