Teen Mom: Maci Bookout’s Son Bentley, 16, Addresses Possibility of Being a Teen Parent

However, these days, their worries look very different. In this season of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter, Leah, Maci and Amber navigate raising children who are of an age where they could be parents themselves, just as their moms were. Cheyenne and Mackenzie are hoping to expand their families while Bri seeks out prevention for future pregnancies, and Jade and Ashley’s relationships with their families continue to evolve.

Meanwhile, Catelynn and husband Tyler Baltierra grapple with the pain of having given their daughter up for adoption as her relationship with Carly’s adoptive parents grows more fraught.

It’s a relationship the pair have often spoken candidly about on social media, including Catelynn explaining why she thinks Carly’s parents Brandon Davis and Teresa Davis have “blocked” her from speaking to their daughter.

"At the end of the day I think her parents feel scared/ threatened because Carly would ask questions about why we don't get together anymore, why we can't just fly to her for a weekend etc.," Catelynn explained on her Instagram Story in September. "I will ALWAYS support Carly loving her parents. They love her and raised her! But the fact that they keep us distant does not help Carly."

"When you're a bio mom you have no say... no control," Catelynn—who also shares daughters Novalee, 9, Vaeda, 5, and Rya, 2, with Tyler—continued. "All I can do is show Carly in the future how much I tried and continue to do so... she can make the decision herself to understand who shut who out."

Meanwhile for Maci, who welcomed Bentley with former fiancé Ryan Edwards, she’s been candid about how her coparenting dynamic has shifted for the better in recent years—so much so that she and her husband Taylor McKinney have no problem hanging out with Ryan.

"Especially the last five years, I would have thought you lost your mind," she admitted in an exclusive interview with E! News in June. "Like, you're living in la-la land, it's never going to happen." 

"All of us involved have done a whole lot of work," the 32-year-old—who is also mom to Jayde, 9, and Maverick, 8, with Taylor—added. "We have just honestly worked on ourselves. So, naturally, it's all coming together."
