<p id=”par-2_60″>After months of relative calm between Ryan Edwards and his soon-to-be ex-wife, Mackenzie Standifer, Standifer has<a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/mackenzie-standifer-and-ryan-edwards-ordered-not-to-contact-each-other-amid-divorce.html/”> returned to social media</a>, and she’s feeling feisty. In a recent TikTok comment, Standifer called out Edwards for failing to contribute to the needs of the two children he shares with her. That, however, wasn’t the juiciest tidbit gleaned from Standifer’s social media comments.</p>

In it, Standifer suggested that her former flame has a secret child that no one knows about. Standifer raged that Edwards has “5 kids” in her post. In a follow-up comment, Standifer suggests that the Edwards family has “kept it quiet” for 10 years by using their money, power, and privilege. She did not elaborate further.</p>

<p id=”par-4_51″>While Standifer noted that Edwards has “five kids,” <em>Teen Mom </em>fans are only aware of three children belonging to the troubled TV personality, at least officially. Edwards became a father for the first time in 2008 when Bentley Edwards was born. Edwards shares Bentley with his high school girlfriend, <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/teen-mom-maci-bookout-posts-quote-feeling-empty-ryan-edwards-early-prison-release.html/”>Maci Bookout.</a></p>

<p id=”par-5_59″>In 2018, Mackenzie Standifer gave birth to Jagger Edwards, considered Edwards’ second son. They welcomed their daughter, Stella Edwards, in 2020. The secret child Standifer alluded to would likely have been born sometime between Bentley and Jagger. The fifth child Standifer referred to is likely the child <em>Teen Mom</em> fans think Edwards is expecting with his girlfriend, <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/maci-bookout-amanda-conner-high-school-class-appeared-16-and-pregnant.html/”>Amanda Conner.</a></p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-are-mackenzie-standifer-and-ryan-edwards-divorced-yet”>Are Mackenzie Standifer and Ryan Edwards divorced yet?</h2>
<p id=”par-6_56″>Mackenzie Standifer and Ryan Edwards clearly dislike each other. Despite their disdain for one another, they are still married, at least technically. Standifer filed for divorce from Edwards last year after he went on a drug-fueled rampage that left Standifer’s home destroyed. While Standifer filed to end her marriage, she didn’t follow up with the process.</p>

Ryan Edwards Requests Custody and Child Support in Divorce Filing </a>
</p>
</div>
<p id=”par-7_54″>In February 2024, a judge <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/teen-mom-og-mackenzie-standifer-and-ryan-edwards-remain-married-divorce-case-dismissed.html/”>dismissed the divorce</a> due to inactivity. The following month, both Standifer and Edwards filed again. The divorce is in progress, but it’s unclear when the couple could see a judge finalize it. Despite still being married, Edwards has more than moved on. It’s unclear if Standifer is dating anyone.</p>
