Ryan Edwards’ love life has been complicated since the day Teen Mom fans met him Maci Bookouts 16 and pregnant episode. He hasn’t outgrown those complications yet, it seems. Ryan is currently married for the second time, but from the sounds of it, that marriage will likely end sooner rather than later. At the very least, Ryan’s wife, Amanda Conner, recently claimed that she is in the middle of a divorce. Here’s what we know so far.

Amanda Conner told police she is in the process of divorcing Ryan Edwards

Amanda Conner and Ryan Edwards were spotted together immediately after her arrest in late May, but apparently they didn’t kiss and made up. Just a day after the incident that brought them back into the spotlight (more on that later), Amanda called 911 to request an escort to the house she shared with Ryan to retrieve more of her belongings.

In a recording obtained by The Ashley Reality Roundup GroupAmanda told the dispatcher that she was in the middle of a divorce and didn’t feel comfortable going to the home she shared with her estranged husband to pick up her things. She then accused Ryan of being abusive in the past. Amanda went on to say that she had photographic evidence of injuries she suffered at his hands. She also said she was afraid he would damage her belongings before she could retrieve them.

Although Amanda claims she and Ryan are in the middle of a divorce, no public filing has been found.

The drama started with the arrest of Amanda Conner

Amanda Conner and Ryan Edwards were reportedly going through a rough patch for weeks or months before Memorial Day, but things got serious in late May after Amanda’s arrest. On May 24, around 4 a.m., Ryan Edwards called 911 to report that his wife had driven away with their child in the car. He told dispatchers he was concerned she was under the influence of narcotics.

Police caught up with Amanda in Chattanooga, on a notoriously winding mountain road. According to court records, she was driving on the wrong side of the road when officers saw her. She was arrested and charged with driving under the influence and child abuse. Her bond was set at $16,000 and posted.

The relationship timeline

Amanda Conner and Ryan Edwards have one of reality TV’s more complicated love stories. The two met in the summer of 2023 while they were both in court-ordered rehab and went public with their relationship later that year. Amanda rose to fame by poking fun at Mackenzie Standifer, Ryan’s first wife, on TikTok, before she started appearing on Teen Mom: The Next Chapter. Ryan was still legally married to Mackenzie until August 2025, although they split in February 2023 after Mackenzie accused Ryan of domestic violence.

Ryan and Amanda welcomed their first child together in February 2025. In August, Ryan finalized his long and contentious divorce from Standifer. Just two weeks later, he and Amanda exchanged vows. Although they looked outwardly happy together, rumors swirled that all was not well in the weeks leading up to Amanda’s arrest. Rumors of public arguments and questions about the couple’s sobriety circulated.

While it’s unclear exactly what the future holds for the couple, things are clearly not going well right now.
