Mackenzie McKee’s Pregnancy Announcement Causes Questions About the Future of ‘Teen Mom: The Next Chapter’
Mackenzie McKee has officially ended months of speculation by Teen Mom: The Next Chapter fans. The mother of three is growing her family with her Fiancé, Khesanio Hall. Mackenzie McKee’s pregnancy doesn’t come as a big surprise, but where and how she announced the big news did. McKee’s announcement location actually has fans wondering if Teen Mom: The Next Chapter is on the chopping block.
Mackenzie McKee announces she’s pregnant with twins
Mackenzie McKee has officially announced her pregnancy. McKee appeared with her co-star, Briana DeJesus, on The Drew Barrymore Show today to talk about raising teens. Mackenzie also shared some big news. Mackenzie announced that she was officially expecting. She insisted no one knew. Mackenzie, who conceived via IVF, had one more big surprise. She and Khesanio aren’t expecting just one baby; the duo will welcome twins.
Mackenzie and Khesanio became engaged last year. Mackenzie was previously married to Josh McKee, with whom she shares three children. Josh’s lack of involvement in the lives of their children, Gannon, Jaxie, and Broncs, has been covered in Teen Mom: The Next Chapter. Mackenzie, who is at high risk during pregnancy due to diabetes, had a tubal ligation after the birth of Broncs seven years ago. The tubal ligation led her and Khesanio on their IVF journey.
The announcement has caused speculation about the future of ‘Teen Mom: The Next Chapter’
Mackenzie McKee’s pregnancy announcement might not have shocked anyone. Her announcement on The Drew Barrymore Show is leading to serious speculation, though. Fans fear the announcement outside MTV could mean Teen Mom: The Next Chapter has been canceled. The timing of the appearance, DeJesus’ inclusion in the segment, and everything else happening in the Teen Mom world aren’t adding up to fans. MTV is currently airing season 2B of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter and Mackenzie’s IVF journey is being addressed.
If the series were healthy, MTV would likely want Mackenzie to announce her pregnancy on the series. The fact that she announced it elsewhere makes it look like MTV is reconsidering its commitment to the franchise or trying to pull out all the stops to reach new viewers. Either way, the appearance might indicate trouble for the long-running show.
Fans of the famed reality TV franchise will continue to speculate about the health of the series. Still, MTV is staying quiet. The network has neither confirmed nor denied rumors that the series is failing. Right now, filming doesn’t appear to be underway. According to the Ashley Reality Roundup Group, most of the cast was last together in January when they filmed a reunion special. Amber Portwood, who insisted she was pulling the plug on the series weeks ago, reportedly was not invited. Only time will tell.
