Maci and Ryan had Bentley when they were on Teen Mom OG. However, the relationship ended in a breakup. Bentley went with Maci, and his interaction with Ryan ceased. However, Maci and Ryan are back in a co-parenting relationship.
The star recently reflected on the co-parenting relationship. She had been proud of Ryan’s progress in his sobriety journey. However, this time, she talks about how the pair co-parent Bentley and how it is going. Maci and Ryan hadn’t been on speaking terms once, so this is a big step.
Teen Mom: Maci Surprised About Her & Ryan’s Co-parenting Journey
Maci and Ryan might not have had the best relationship in the past, but they are improving. They are now in an amicable co-parenting relationship. Ryan also celebrated Easter with Maci and her family. His girlfriend Amanda was also there. Even Maci can’t believe how far she and Ryan have come.
In an exclusive E! interview, Maci revealed it was “hard.” But they have a lot of “mutual respect” for each other. The former Teen Mom couple also communicates more openly now. If one of them “has a question,” they can call the other person without hesitation. They are doing much better now. In fact, she, her husband Taylor, Ryan, and his girlfriend Amanda are a comfortable blended family.
Maci revealed that she and Ryan are “just friends” but have matured as co-parents. They are more careful about how they “talk” and “handle something.” According to Maci, the pair enters “those conversations in a more gentle” and “understanding way.” While they still have a long way to go, Maci feels they have made good progress. Things are well and working for all the parties, including their son Bentley.
Regarding Bentley’s involvement, Maci said they leave him “out a lot” of their parental conversations. She wants to share things with Bentley, but the latter “doesn’t want to know certain things.” He has also asked her not to tell him certain things. So, the Teen Mom star does exactly that. But she and Ryan ask Bentley what he wants to do and how he wants to do things. However, mostly, the adults do the talking.
Teen Mom: Maci Is Okay With Adopting
Maci and Taylor had discussed the latter getting a vasectomy, but he didn’t want that. The pair accepted their different points of view. But they were firm about not wanting kids then. While they are over getting pregnant, there are other ways to have a baby.
In her interview with InTouch, Maci discussed “adoption” and “fostering.” The Teen Mom star revealed she and Taylor had “specific expectations and goals” about what they would “want to be able to provide” a child. But they are “not in the right space” for another pregnancy. But they were okay with the earlier options.
Maci said “adoption” and “fostering” would never be “off the table.” But they weren’t “realistic” right now. The star worries that she and Taylor “wouldn’t be able to give everything” to the baby if they adopted or fostered one. So they might adopt a baby now, but it might be possible in the future.
