Ryan Edwards is about to give a different kind of ball and chain a chance.
Over the past few years, this Teen Mom alum has seen the inside of a prison cell a worrying number of times — due to various parole violations and drug offenses.
Today, however, Edwards is in the news for a reason that will lock him up figuratively…rather than literally.
Yes, friends, Ryan Edwards is engaged.
The 37-year-old confirmed the romantic news on January 12 by uploading a video of himself getting down on one knee to propose to Amanda Connor, who is also expecting Ryan's child.
In the video (below, set to Cooper Alan's “Take Forever”), Edwards is sitting around a fire and it's hard not to notice a camerawoman filming the proposal and his subsequent acceptance.
We can only assume it's because he will be featured in a future episode of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter.
The reality star shares son Bentley, 16, with Maci Bookout, as well as son Stella, 6, and daughter, 5, with ex-wife Mackenzie Standifer.
In the images, Bentley seems truly present at this major life moment. Which is nice.
Edwards, as MTV viewers know all too well, struggled with drug addiction over the years; he was last arrested in December 2023.
However, the father of three began dating Conner around September of that year and Bookout supported the romance. Very united, we must emphasize.
“She's really easy to be around,” Bookout told Us Weekly in May 2024. “You know when you meet people and you can just feel the energy? She just has really good energy.
Added Maci at the time:
“We get along really well and we just get along. She's really supportive of Bentley and Ryan and everything that's going on with him. It happened naturally. »
About three months ago, Edwards and Conner announced that the latter was pregnant with a girl. And they seemed really excited about it.
“Honesty is one of my biggest things, honest about who you are, who me and Ryan are, I want to be honest about that,” Conner told Us Weekly.
“I don’t want to hide anything from him. I will be very careful. I don't want to be a helicopter mom, but I don't want our child to go through everything we had to go through.
“I just want her to be very open to the world, but have a strong mentality about certain things.”
