<p id=”par-1_72″>Ryan Edwards’ girlfriend, Amanda Conner, has made her debut on <em><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/teen-mom/?swcfpc=1″>Teen Mom: The Next Chapter</a></em>. Edwards’ live-in lover appears interested in cozying up to Maci Bookout, and while <em>Teen Mom</em> fans are suspicious of her, Bookout seems fine with it. That might be because she and Conner have known each other for years. Maci Bookout confirmed what fans have long suspected about Amanda Conner; she appeared in Bookout’s <em><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/16-and-pregnant-alums-who-have-died-since-appearing-mtv-show.html/”>16 and Pregnant</a> </em>episode.</p>

<p id=”par-3_63″>The episode shared clips of Conner interacting with Bookout in <em>16 and Pregnant</em>, although it doesn’t appear the pair were friends outside of the school setting. Bookout’s revelation isn’t news to some eagle-eyed viewers. While this is the first time Bookout confirmed she knew Edwards’ girlfriend before they hooked up, fans of the series theorized that <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/teen-mom-fans-spy-ryan-edwards-new-girlfriend-maci-bookout-16-pregnant-episode-jerry-springer.html/”>Conner appeared in Bookout’s episode</a> months ago.</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-amanda-conner-appeared-on-another-tv-show”>Amanda Conner appeared on another TV show</h2>
<p id=”par-4_70″>Amanda Conner recently made her debut on <em>Teen Mom: The Next Chapter</em>, but it’s not her first foray into reality TV. Aside from her brief appearance on <em>16 and Pregnant</em>, Conner also appeared on <em>The Jerry Springer</em> <em>Show</em>. In a 2010 episode of the talk show, She confronted her best friend for sleeping with her boyfriend. There was plenty of drama during the taping, but the drama didn’t end there.</p>
<p id=”par-5_61″>On her way out of New York following the taping, Conner and her then-boyfriend, Jesse Lee Lewis, were arrested in Rye, New York, for petty larceny. According to <a target=”_blank” href=”https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/jerry-springer-show-couple-arrested-in-westchester/” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>CBS News</a>, the Tennessee duo were at the Westchester County Airport when they were accused of stealing jewelry from a woman on their flight. It is unclear how the legal issue was resolved.</p>

<p id=”par-6_38″>Amanda Conner seems incredibly interested in making a “co-parenting” relationship with Maci Bookout work. Clearly, she is taking her relationship with Ryan Edwards seriously. How long has Conner been dating Ryan Edwards, and are they headed for marriage?</p>
