RYAN’S PAST RELATIONSHIPS
Before marrying his ex Mackenzie, he dated Maci Bookout and they share a 15-year-old son named Bentley.
They were briefly engaged but called it off in 2009.
In 2017, he married Mackenzie.
In February 2023, Ryan and Mackenzie called it quits.
Towards the end of their relationship, the two faced enormous difficulties, including complaints of domestic violence, and he even destroyed Mack’s house.
In court documents, she listed the date of their separation as January 2023, after he “became erratic and violent.”
They have two children together: Jagger, 5, and Stella, 4.
The divorce was rejected on February 19, 2024, as the case had not been filed for 270 days.
However, a few weeks later in March, The US Sun exclusively Ryan filed for divorce from Mackenzie.
YOUR PRISONS
Since early 2023, Ryan has been in and out of prison due to drug, harassment, and other charges.
On April 7, 2023, Ryan was found by police around midnight that night, unconscious in the driver’s seat of his truck and was arrested for possession of a controlled substance and driving under the influence.
Weeks later, on April 20, he was sentenced to 11 months and 29 days in prison.
In July, he was released to a rehabilitation center in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and in August, he was ordered to go to a halfway house after completing a month in rehab.
At the halfway house, he met his current girlfriend, Amanda.
Ultimately, the drug charge was dismissed in a plea deal on November 6.
The judge in the case was “hesitant” to approve the agreement, but went ahead and scheduled the follow-up hearing.
In late November 2023, Ryan and Amanda were thrown out of a bar after a fight broke out.
Days later, on December 5, Ryan was ordered to go to court for a check-up, where the judge in his case, Judge Starnes, “lost patience” with him and he was arrested.
At his December 8 hearing, it was established that the MTV star had passed a drug test but failed to comply with other terms of his probation.
On April 23, 2024, it was revealed by The US Sun that Ryan was one year drug free during his court hearing.
We are here for a follow-up to see how you are doing. I don’t see any probation violations. You have been drug free for over a year. This is an achievement. I’m glad you’re okay,” Judge Starnes said.
Ryan will return to court on November 18.
That same day, he was spotted walking hand in hand and smiling with Amanda.
