Standifer entered the public eye in 2016 when she began dating Ryan Edwards, the father of Bentley Edwards (whom he shares with Teen Mom star Maci Bookout). Standifer was already a mother to her son, Hudson, from a previous marriage.

Her initial appearances on Teen Mom OG brought intense media attention. One of the most infamous moments occurred during Season 6, when she was filmed driving Edwards to their quick parking-lot elopement in May 2017 while he struggled to stay awake behind the wheel—an incident that highlighted his underlying battles with substance abuse to millions of viewers.

During her time on the show, Standifer frequently defended Edwards against critics, including Maci Bookout.

New man?

Ryan Edwards’ ex wife Mackenzie apparently found herself a new man.

Teen Mom fans speculate that she “stole” him from her best friend.

“That was her good friends husband” one fan commented.
