Maci Bookout Reveals Miscarriage Heartbreak

When it comes to shows like Teen Mom OG , there’s good drama, and there’s bad drama Good drama is stuff like the feud between Farrah Abraham and Amber Portwood –entertaining fluff of no real consequence. Sadly, it seems that on this week’s episode, viewers will see Maci Bookout endure drama that goes beyond “bad” and into the realm of tragic. A preview clip from the episode shows Maci and husband Taylor McKinney at dinner, discussing the possibility of expanding their family. It seems they had previously talked about the possibility of adopting, and both agreed that they would prefer to adopt a child in the “4 to 6 age range” rather than an infant. After the adoption discussion, Maci reluctantly revealed that she would be open to the idea of getting pregnant again, “If you seriously want to have another baby, then I’ll do it, but I still want to adopt, too,” she told Taylor. “But if we want to do it naturally, I want to do it, like, now.” “If we want it to happen, it’s gonna happen like that,” Taylor replied, with a snap of his fingers. At that point, the tone of the conversation changed abruptly, and a downcast Maci remarked, “You’re forgetting something.” Taylor sat silent for a moment before meekly excusing himself from the table. When one of the show’s producers came over to see if Maci was okay, she made a tragic revelation: “I had a miscarriage,” Bookout said. “Her name is Dande. Dandelion.” “I don’t want to talk about it,” McKinney interjected. “I think it’s important for people that are watching that we talk about it,” Maci said. “I would like to talk to our parents about it first,” Taylor replied. There’s obviously no rule book for dealing with something like a miscarriage, and both parties make valid points about discussing the matter publicly. Other women who have suffered miscarriages may find solace in learning that Maci shares their heartbreak, but at the same time, even reality stars are entitled to a modicum of privacy. It’s terrible that Maci had to endure such a loss, but she’s no doubt serving as a needed source of support for those who have suffered in the same way.

Maci Bookout & Taylor McKinney Enter Marriage Counseling: Are They Headed For Divorce?!

It’s only been eight months since  Maci Bookout and Taylor McKinney got married , but it seems the Teen Mom stars’ wedded bliss has already given way to the complexities of life in a blended family under the constant glare of the media magnifying glass. On last night’s episode of Teen Mom: OG , we learned that Maci and Taylor have entered marriage counseling. While that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re having serious relationship troubles, many fans have pointed out that there’s ample reason to believe that Maci and Taylor’s home life is less than ideal. For starters, there’s the revelation that it’s not unusual for  Maci and Taylor to engage in drunken fights off camera . “Obviously, having three kids is catching up to us,” Maci told her friend Keelie in a scene from last night’s installment. “Eighty-five percent of the time, we’re good to go. The rest of the 15 percent, it’s hell. It’s like all of our stress and emotion and everything … we take it out on each other.” Bookout added: “When the cameras leave, we’ll drink and freak out. It’s always like, literally, the smallest things.” Maci didn’t go into specifics about what she meant by “freak out,” but the comment certainly didn’t paint a pretty picture. Fortunately, she and Taylor followed Keelie’s advice and sought counseling. Based on the comments she made to her therapist, it sounds like Maci allows the day-to-day pressures of her hectic life to build up , and then vents her frustrations after her tongue’s been loosened by a few Bud Lights: “All of the little things build up because neither of us ever communicate them,” Bookout told the couple’s counselor. “Then all of a sudden, we’re mad and we don’t even know why we’re mad.” She added: “To be honest with you, he could go the rest of our lives and never tell me ‘thank you’ or ‘you’re awesome.’ Just grab my ass every now and then and give me a kiss.” We’re sure the situation isn’t helped by recent issues involving Maci’s  first baby daddy. Fans learned last week that Ryan Edwards has checked into rehab for unspecified substance abuse issues. Sources close to Maci say she’d been frequently breaking down in tears out of concern for her ex. So Ryan, Maci, and Taylor are all far from out of the woods, but the important thing is that they’re seeking the right kind of help, which considerably improves their chances of working through these issues. And for that, we commend them. Watch Teen Mom online to relive the rocky road that led Maci to her current situation. View Slideshow: Maci Bookout-Taylor McKinney Wedding Photos!

Taylor McKinney: Bentley Is MY Son!

Hope you’re ready to see what could possibly be the sweetest moment in Teen Mom OG history! Sure, you’re probably used to Farrah yelling at anyone unfortunate enough to cross her path and  Catelynn and Tyler crying about their marriage , but trust us, this is going to be a welcome break from the drama. Grab your tissues, because it’s about to get adorable in here. Taylor McKinney Explains His Relationship with Bentley This is a sneak peek from next week’s episode, and if you didn’t appreciate Maci Bookout’s brand new husband already, you sure as hell will now. In this clip, Taylor McKinney has a couple of friends over to look at his new baby, Maverick, and to drink some beers. Taylor’s buddies ask him what it’s like to be a father to three kids, and while Taylor admits it’s chaotic, he seems to be very happy. He mentions that Bentley, Maci’s son with Ryan Edwards, is with his father at the moment, and one of his friends points out that it’s a “scary thought, when they’re over at someone else’s house and you don’t know how they’re getting parented or how people are treating them.” It’s a fair point, and it only gets fairer when you consider that a great deal of people seem to think that Ryan is possibly on drugs at the moment . Throw that on top of Ryan’s general disinterest in parenting, and it must be hard for Taylor and Maci to send Bentley over to be with him. But, as Taylor’s buddy tells him, “Later in life, Bentley will realize that you don’t have to do anything that you do. Being a stepdad, you’re there by your own choice. He’ll appreciate it. I mean, it’s big.” And that’s when Taylor began a heartfelt, touching little speech about what Bentley means to him. And it is amazing . “I don’t feel like I’m doing anything extra,” Taylor says. “It’s just the way I was raised. I’m just going what I’m supposed to do.” “I knew early on, before I moved out here, the role I was taking on and I wasn’t going to come into his life and leave. If I was going to come in, I was going to be a father figure and teach him everything my dad taught me.” “So I don’t feel like I treat Bentley any different than I would treat Jayde or Maverick. To me, he’s mine, and not that I’m trying to replace Ryan, it’s just that when he lives over here, I don’t want him to feel any different. I don’t want him to feel like he’s a stepson and I’m favoring them.” “If anything, I feel like I go out of my way to put him first.” Taylor then, if you can even believe it, shows off a tattoo of an anatomical heart with three names surrounding it: Jayde, Maverick, and Bentley. It’s just so nice to see a guy on Teen Mom actually be a good guy, you know? Right now, Teen Mom OG features Tyler Baltierra, who, while usually sweet, has been acting like a real jackass lately towards Catelynn Lowell. There’s Matt Baier, Amber Portwood’s guy, who is a well-documented deadbeat dad and who is just generally shady. Along with Matt, there’s also Gary Shirley, the father of Amber’s daughter, Leah, who’s always trying to upset or hurt Amber. Then there’s Simon Saran, Farrah Abraham’s sometimes boyfriend, and you know any guy who made the choice to date Farrah can’t be great. And, of course, there’s Ryan Edwards, Bentley’s father … though he hasn’t acted like a father for most of Bentley’s life. We can’t expect all these dudes to be as sweet as Taylor seems to be, but damn, would it hurt them to at least try? View Slideshow: Maci Bookout-Taylor McKinney Wedding Photos!
