Ryan Edwards is officially off the market!
The Teen Mom: The Next Chapter star and Amanda Conner tied the knot, confirming their new status on Wednesday, September 3. The couple shared a photo of their marriage certificate on their “Life With Ryan and Amanda” Facebook page, showing that a Hamilton County, Tennessee, clerk certified their union. A court clerk also verified to The Ashley’s Reality Roundup that the wedding took place that same day.
Amanda celebrated the news on TikTok with a “surprise” video featuring their marriage certificate and her sparkling new wedding ring, while Ryan relaxed beside her in bed. Fans flooded the comments with congratulatory messages, including, “Finally he found the right Mrs. Edwards!!” and, “Congratulations Mrs. Edwards.”
The wedding comes just weeks after Ryan finalized his divorce from Mackenzie Standifer in August. Amanda appeared to celebrate the milestone herself, sharing via Instagram Story: “Today is a day we shall cherish & celebrate.”

Ryan and Amanda’s love story began in 2023, and the couple got engaged two years later. Their relationship has been documented on MTV’s Teen Mom: The Next Chapter, including the announcement that Amanda was expecting. In February, she gave birth to their daughter, Presley, cementing the next chapter in their family life.
Through it all, Ryan has had the support of his ex, Maci Bookout, who shares 16-year-old Bentley with him. “We’re definitely friends. She’s really easy to be around,” Maci told Us Weekly in May 2024. “You know when you meet people and you can just feel the energy? She’s just got really good energy.”
Maci also praised Ryan for his continued focus on sobriety and personal growth. “I am excited,” she shared with Us Weekly in January. “It’s been really awesome to see him really come into himself as a man and gain his confidence and just enjoy life and enjoy the work that he’s doing. It’s been really cool.”
When asked if she would like to attend Ryan’s wedding, she didn’t hesitate: “For sure.”
