Maci Bookout's son is celebrating his sweet 16!
On Monday, Oct. 21, the Teen Mom alum and mom of three, 33, shared an Instagram Reels of her and ex Ryan Edwards' son Bentley "Benny" enjoying his 16th birthday party with friends. The celebration took place at nighttime on a golf course, where the proud mom collaborated with Glow Vibe Golf to deliver a glow-in-the-dark golf birthday bash.
As the sun starts to set, Bentley and his friends can be seen enjoying the driving range with light-up golf balls, clubs and targets. Behind them, a large LED light sign reads "Benny 16," while a blue balloon arch stands tall beside it.
"A birthday party to remember!" the glow golf company captioned the joint Reel. They added a variety of cute hashtags, including #getlit and #letsglowgolfing.
In May, Bookout opened up to PEOPLE about how she co-parents Bentley with Edwards, sharing that she's excited to share "a lot of new things" with fans in the newest season of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter,
"I think for me, I feel like this season is full of new things viewers haven't seen in the past. Bentley is almost grown and he's driving, so I'm parenting a young man, not a baby or a toddler or a little kid anymore," she shared.

Maci also said that she's excited for fans to "get to know the real Ryan," as she settles into co-parenting her oldest with Edwards and his girlfriend, Amanda Conner.
"I'm still trying to navigate and figure out what co-parenting looks like with Ryan and me. Later this season, everyone will finally get a chance to get to know the real Ryan and see who he is and how his relationships are developing."
"I honestly have always been kind of in awe of Bentley and his willingness to start therapy, continue therapy, talk about therapy and be an advocate for other young men and boys," the proud mom shared.
"He'll be the first one to be like. 'I've gone through something like that. You should talk to someone. I'll tell my mom to send your mom my doctor's number,'" she continued. "I've always been super proud of that because, for young people, I feel like it's really important to have your peers advocate for themselves and help each other take the steps to advocate for themselves."
