Ryan Edwards and his wife have officially called it quits after 6 years of marriage, leaving fans of the reality TV couple in shock.
This year is calling for separations and farewells. Another day, another divorce. Former “Teen Mom’s” star Mackenzie Edwards filed for divorce against her husband Ryan Edwards after nearly 6 years of marriage.
The pair, who starred in the hit MTV show “Teen Mom OG,” announced the news in a joint statement, stating that the decision was made with “a heavy heart” but that they both feel it’s the right choice for their family.
The statement reads, “We have made the difficult decision to separate as a couple. We are grateful for the six years we have spent together and the memories we have created, but ultimately, we feel it’s best for us to go our separate ways. “We ask for privacy during this time as we navigate this difficult transition.”
Fans of the show were quick to express their sadness and support for the couple, with many taking to social media to share their thoughts.
“Sad to see them split up, but they always seemed to have a strong bond,” wrote one fan on Twitter.
Another fan commented, “I’m heartbroken for them, but I know they’ll both come out of this stronger than ever.”
Ryan Edwards and Mackenzie tied the knot in May 2017 and share two children together, Jagger and Stella. The couple had their fair share of ups and downs on the show, including Ryan’s struggles with substance abuse and legal issues.
Despite the challenges, they appeared to be a solid couple, often sharing sweet photos and messages about each other on social media.
The breakup comes after Ryan made headlines for his behavior on and off social media. In January, the MTV reality star hinted at problems in his marriage when he commented on one of Mackenzie’s Instagram posts.
“I’m not proud of being married to someone that stays out in bars and goes home with others guys,” he wrote in a since-deleted comment. “Tomorrow can’t get here fast enough! “Don’t you know what happens when u lay with dogs?” At this time, it’s unclear what led to their separation, but fans are hoping that they will both find happiness and peace in the next chapter of their lives.
