TEEN Mom fans think Ryan Edwards has subtly announced that his new girlfriend Amanda Conner is expecting via a very cryptic new Instagram post.
The embattled former MTV star found love with Amanda in a halfway house in 2023 after moving on from ex-wife Mackenzie Edwards.
On June 22, Ryan, 36, posted a conversation-causing Instagram snap, posing alongside Amanda, 33.
The Teen Mom alum went shirtless on a boat with his new love, soaking up the sun together.
The photo was taken from behind, and Amanda — to the right of him— is wearing a black bikini and looking out onto a shimmering lake.
Ryan opted for an unexpected motion, which did not go unnoticed.

He wrapped his hand around her bare belly and looked down lovingly at her tummy.
The photo did not have a caption, but fans came to their own conclusions in the comments section.

Other fans simply praised the star for turning a new leaf with his sobriety journey.
"I’m so happy for yalls sobriety journey. My husband is about to hit nine months for the first time since he was 12. You’re doing the damn thing," wrote a third.
However, the snap also made the rounds on Reddit, where other fans thought it was a clear hint.
"Is it just me, or does this look like a very subtle pregnancy announcement??" one fan began a thread.
"It looks like his hand is on her leg? I don't see what you're seeing," argued another.
"Ryan having 3 baby mamas omg," wrote a third.
"Maci will host the baby shower for sure," joked a fourth.
"I mean if you DON’T have a baby with every person you’re dating, did the relationship even happen????" ripped a fifth.
Ryan did not respond to any of the commenters — this would be the couple's first baby together and his third overall.
RYAN'S PAST RELATIONSHIPS
Before his marriage to his ex-wife Mackenzie, Ryan dated Maci Bookout and they share one son named Bentley, 15, together.
The Teen Mom OG couple were briefly engaged but called it off in 2009.
In 2017, he married Mackenzie and they welcomed two children together: Jagger, 5, and Stella, 4.
In February 2023, Ryan and Mackenzie called it quits.
Toward the end of their relationship, the two faced massive hardships including domestic violence claims, and he even reportedly trashed Mack's home.
In court papers, she listed the separation date as January 2023 after he “became erratic and violent.”
The divorce was dismissed on February 19, 2024, because there were no filings in the case for 270 days.
However, a few weeks later in March, The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed that Ryan filed his own divorce from Mackenzie.
LAUNDRY LIST OF ARRESTS
Since the beginning of 2023, Ryan has been in and out of jail due to drugs, harassment, and other charges.
In April 2023, Ryan was found by police around midnight that night unconscious in the driver's seat of his truck.
He was arrested for possession of a controlled substance and driving under the influence.
Later that month, he was sentenced to 11 months and 29 days in prison.
Last July, he was released to a rehab center in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and then in August, was ordered to go to a halfway house after completing a month in rehab.

At the halfway house, he met his current girlfriend Amanda.
In the end, the drug charge was dismissed in a plea deal on November 6.
The judge on the case was reportedly "hesitant" to approve the deal, but moved forward and scheduled a follow-up hearing.
In late November 2023, Ryan and Amanda were kicked out of a bar after a brawl broke out.
Then, in December, Ryan was ordered to go to court for a check-up where the judge for his case "lost his patience" with him and he was arrested.
In his December hearing, it was established that the MTV star had passed a drug test but failed to fulfill other terms of his probation.
On April 23, 2024 during that court hearing, it was revealed by The U.S. Sun that Ryan is now one year drug-free.
"We're here for a follow-up to see how you're doing. I don’t see any probation violations. You have been drug-free for over a year. That’s an accomplishment. I’m glad you’re doing well," the judge said.

Ryan will go back to court on November 18, 2024.
