Breaking Celebrity News exclusively reported in October that Ryan Edwards checked into rehab. On this week’s Teen Mom OG, Edwards’ wife Mackenzie confirmed he is currently seeking treatment for his substance abuse issues after a relapse.
His mother Jen explained how he checked into a 90-day intensive rehab facility. He could only make two 10-minute phone calls a week.
“It is a relapse or slip, it was getting out of control,” his mother Jen said, as Mackenzie added, “It was about to spiral bad.”
She continued, “Right before he left he said his kids deserve to have the healthiest dad and what better time to go than now.”
When a producer asked about Ryan not being there for the birth of their son Jagger, she responded, “If I did not love Ryan I would call him the most selfish a**hole ever for missing this. But this is a drop in the baby’s life. If he’s going to miss him being born, but be healthy forever, what more can I ask for?”
Also on the episode, Amber Portwood opened up about her miscarriage with Matt Baier.
“I never told anybody, but when I was with Matt I had a miscarriage,” Portwood said. "I didn’t hear the heartbeat, I didn’t go to the hospital or anything.”
She explained how she “blamed” herself, while Baier “got really drunk because of it.”

“I had already had a conversation with my doctor about my missed periods because of course with my tubes being tied there was no concern,” she explained to a producer. “When I started having the pains and they intensified, I decided to call the doctor again.”
She continued, “They found there was a fetus and it was in my left fallopian tube. There was a heartbeat. It implanted in the fallopian tube and not the uterus. I just said get it done with. One of the hardest things I’ve been through.”
Also on the episode, Bristol Palin moved into her new home after her divorce from Dakota Meyer. But she learned that Meyer’s Kentucky home was broken into by the man who has been harassing her family for years.
“His house had gotten broken into,” she told her sister. “It was the stalker.”
She explained how the stalker has been harassing her family ever since her mother ran for vice president. They even have a protection order against him.
“He’s been in and out of jail, but recently he’s been on the run from the law,” she said. “But I’m by myself with the kids in a house in Texas 4000 miles away from everyone I know. I get maybe four hours of sleep as it is because I’ve had this constant threat for years. Super scary.”
