Edwards’ live-in lover appears interested in cozying up to Maci Bookout, and suspicion surrounds her, Bookout seems fine with it. That might be because she and Conner have known each other for years.

Maci Bookout confirms Amanda Conner appeared in her episode of ’16 and Pregnant’
On the most recent episode of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter, Maci Bookout explained to her husband, Taylor McKinney, that Amanda Conner did appear in her episode of 16 and Pregnant. Bookout revealed that Conner was in her classes in her final year of high school.
The episode shared clips of Conner interacting with Bookout in 16 and Pregnant, although it doesn’t appear the pair were friends outside of the school setting. Bookout’s revelation isn’t news to some eagle-eyed viewers. While this is the first time Bookout confirmed she knew Edwards’ girlfriend before they hooked up, fans of the series theorized that Conner appeared in Bookout’s episode months ago.
Amanda Conner appeared on another TV show
Amanda Conner recently made her debut on Teen Mom: The Next Chapter, but it’s not her first foray into reality TV. Aside from her brief appearance on 16 and Pregnant, Conner also appeared on The Jerry Springer Show. In a 2010 episode of the talk show, she confronted her best friend for sleeping with her boyfriend. There was plenty of drama during the taping, but it didn’t end there.
On her way out of New York following the taping, Conner and her then-boyfriend, Jesse Lee Lewis, were arrested in Rye, New York, for petty larceny. According to CBS News, the Tennessee duo were at the Westchester County Airport when they were accused of stealing jewelry from a woman on their flight. It is unclear how the legal issue was resolved.

Amanda Conner seems incredibly interested in making a “co-parenting” relationship with Maci Bookout work. Clearly, she is taking her relationship with Ryan Edwards seriously. How long has Conner been dating Ryan Edwards, and are they headed for marriage?
Edwards and Conner first met while in the same rehab facility. While it’s unclear exactly when they started dating, they were first spotted together in the summer of 2023.
