Mackenzie Edwards is making her split with Ryan Edwards as official as she possibly can. On February 27, the mom-of-three filed for divorce from the former reality TV star. This comes after nearly six years of marriage for the couple, who were often featured on Teen Mom OG, prior to being fired from the show. The couple met at the gym back in 2016 and quickly married in 2017. They also share two children together, Jagger (who was born in 2017) and Stella (who they welcomed in 2020.) Ryan also shares an older son, Bentley Edwards, with Maci Bookout. Now, the pair is officially calling it quits. In addition to filing for divorce, Mackenzie has also been granted a temporary restraining order.
What is a temporary restraining order?
According to court documents, Mackenzie filed a restraining order against Ryan on the grounds of alleged domestic violence. According to information provided by the New Jersey Courts, domestic violence encompasses crimes committed by people who are currently or were formerly in a romantic relationship, in a family, or cohabitating together. A restraining order is a protective order that can prevent the protected person from being contacted by and/or in the vicinity of the person who they have filed the restraining order against.
