TEEN Mom stars Ryan and Mackenzie Edwards have been granted a mutual restraining order, The U.S. Sun can exclusively reveal.
Ryan, 36, and Mackenzie, 28, split in January 2023 and have faced a slew of time in court amid alarming threat allegations.
A hearing took place on April 8, 2024, in Tennessee’s Hamilton County Court regarding Mackenzie’s order of protection against Ryan filed in March.
According to court documents exclusively obtained by The U.S. Sun, the parties agreed to a mutual restraining order.
Mackenzie’s Petition for Order of Protection was “dismissed with prejudice and replaced with a mutual restraining Order.”
“Each Party is restrained from coming about or contacting other,” the Hamilton County Court document declared.
“Counsel for the Parties shall cooperate to establish a time and procedure for [Ryan’s] personalty from the marital residence,” the documents added.
The mutual restraining order also mandates Mackenzie and Ryan not contact each other’s employer or “significant other (boyfriend/girlfriend).”
Ryan is currently dating Amanda Conner, 33, who The U.S. Sun previously reported he met in rehab.
Lastly, Mackenzie is only allowed to communicate with Ryan’s family “regarding visitation with the children.”
Ryan and Mackenzie share two children: Jagger, 5, and Stella, 4.
Teen Mom Fanz was the first to break Mackenzie’s order of protection request.
MACKENZIE’S PETITION
Mackenzie filed an order of protection and order for hearing on March 28, 2023, which has been exclusively obtained by The U.S. Sun.
The order asked Ryan to have no contact and stay away from her.
She requested she be granted temporary custody of her children and for Ryan to pay child and spousal support – plus all of the court fees.
Additionally, she requested the court mandate Ryan give up possession of two guns.
MORE ALLEGATIONS
In Mackenzie’s order of protection request which she filed on March 28, 2024, she shared details about an incident previously covered by The U.S. Sun which occurred on January 31, 2024.
She said, “Ryan came to [the] residence at 9 pm to look for a cable after being told no. He then texted after the police left and said that ‘no one would survive anything because you can’t act grown.'”
She claimed he “called my phone and said that his girlfriend would be off of supervised probation and I have it coming, so what am I going to do about it.”
She detailed a separate incident that allegedly happened on March 28, the day she filed for the order of protection.
Mackenzie alleged Ryan “called my phone and texted today saying when this [divorce] is over with his girlfriend would handle me.”
“[Ryan] texted me from another number saying that if I didn’t sign divorce papers he would blackmail me and get me fired,” she claimed.
In her petition, Mackenzie crossed out “f**k it” and indicated for the court to “please see [the] text message.”
Back in February 2023, Mackenzie filed for divorce from Ryan after getting married in 2017.
In Mackenzie’s divorce petition, she claimed Ryan was “guilty of inappropriate marital conduct” and “irreconcilable differences” exist between them.
The former Teen Mom OG star also noted Ryan’s reported history of substance abuse.
The U.S. Sun previously reported the divorce was dismissed on February 19, 2024, because there were no filings in the case for 270 days.
TUMULTUOUS SPLIT
On January 31, 2024, Ryan went to their former home with cops – which Mackenzie and their children still live in today – to obtain a belonging.
This was the same incident Mackenzie referred to in her petition she filed on March 28, 2024.
The bodycam footage exclusively obtained by The U.S. Sun documented Ryan meeting authorities at a gas station before arriving at the home.
Ryan then met the cops again at Mackenzie’s home where they accompanied the reality star to the garage where he searched for his belongings.
“I apologize brother, I know you guys got better s**t to do than me looking for my s**t,” Ryan told the cops.
“I haven’t been here in so d**n long – if I can’t find it here, it is what it is,” he continued and claimed, “It’s been trashed anyways.”
“I don’t know where it is and I don’t want to be here anymore than you guys do so,” he continued.
“I’m good, I won’t be back,” he told the officers.
“I don’t know where it is – I’m going to have to find it later when I have more time,” he said and concluded, “I appreciate your time.”
DISPATCH DIALOGUE
While Ryan was at the residence on January 31, Mackenzie called the cops.
“I need to speak to an officer,” Mackenzie told the 911 operator.
“My ex-husband tore up my house almost a year ago,” she claimed and reported, “He hasn’t lived here in a year and he’s trying to come over and get some things – I don’t want him here.”
She continued, “I was just going to see if an officer can be close to my house. He tried to stab me a year ago and I’m just a little nervous.
In a second 911 call, Ryan told a dispatcher, “Listen, I have an issue right now. I’m trying to get something out of the garage of mine where I live. My ex-wife still lives there. We still own the house. Is there any way I can get an officer to go with me?
“She’s still my wife. We’re just in the process of getting divorced. Right now I don’t think it’s a good idea if I show up without an officer because she is armed. I don’t know how else to explain it to you.
“She told me to bring a police officer with me so I would be more than happy to do that. It’s not a pressing issue, but it is an issue. I just don’t want any problems.”
In the final call, Mackenzie called 911 again to ask if an officer could come back to her home so she could file a police report.
She said, “Police were just out here with my soon-to-be ex-husband. I need to go ahead and make a report because some of the stuff he said after he left here with them is a little concerning. I need to go ahead and do that.
“When Ryan left, he sent me a text, after he left with the police acting like he was the victim. He said, ‘You’ll be hard-pressed finding a place to live and no one will survive anything because you can’t act grown.
“I have my personal pistol, but I don’t have any weapons that are his. Whatever weapons owned by us in our marital property over the last eight years are weapons I purchased that I don’t know what he’s done with.”
She then said how his mother, Jen, has their children and that he “does not even see them.”
RYAN’S LEGAL TROUBLE
Ryan has been in and out of jail in 2023 on harassment, driving under the influence, possession of a controlled substance, and other charges.
He was released from prison on July 18 and entered Cadas Rehab in Chattanooga, Tennessee, to complete a 28-day program.
Ryan was then ordered to Oasis halfway house, which is on the same property as his rehab Cadas, during a Monday, August 14 court hearing after completing the 28-day program in treatment.
Amanda also has a criminal record, as The U.S. Sun obtained court records from a handful of her arrests throughout the years.
