Troubled Teen Mom star Ryan Edwards announces engagement to pregnant Amanda Conner (and his ex Maci Bookout approves)
Ryan Edwards popped the question to his pregnant girlfriend Amanda Conner.
The 37-year-old Teen Mom star went to work on Sunday Instagram to reveal that he and his now fiancée would soon be walking down the aisle by sharing a heartwarming clip from the romantic proposal.
It looked like the reality star got down on one knee during a winter family outing this weekend, surrounded by glittering slow ones and loved ones sitting around a campfire.
And it appears his eldest son, Bentley, 16 – who she shares with ex Maci Bookout – was also in attendance. The reality star also shares Jagger, 6, and Stella, 5, with his ex-wife Mackenzie Standifer.
Eagle-eyed fans also spotted a camera crew capturing the moment, indicating that the proposal may appear on the upcoming season of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter.
Although their special conversation was not audible, Ryan added Cooper Alan’s romantic hit, Take Forever (Hally’s Song), above the video, showing the adoration he has for his bride-to-be.
