Amanda Conner entered the Teen Mom universe not as an original cast member, but as the partner of Ryan Edwards (the ex of Maci Bookout).
- The Meeting: Amanda and Ryan reportedly met in late 2023 while both were participating in court-ordered rehab for ongoing substance abuse struggles.
- Reality TV Ambitions: Long before joining the Teen Mom circle, Amanda had brief stints in reality television. She once appeared on The Jerry Springer Show and was featured briefly alongside a pregnant friend in an early season of MTV’s 16 and Pregnant (2008).
Getting tested

After Amanda’s recent arrested for DUI, she was ordered by court to get regularly tested.
Amanda filmed herself in “action”, getting McDonald’s before the test.
“I’m on an ankle monitor as well but the differences in our situations are vast. My charges were not drug related- I was just poor and living in my car shit happens you know. I could not ever imagine flaunting this clunky, inconvenient thing to the public. I’m humiliated enough without having to share it with the world. Y’all are a safe space though 💕” one fan commented.
