Teen Mom alum Ryan Edwards wed Amanda Conner just two weeks after finalizing his divorce from ex-wife Mackenzie Standifer on Aug. 15.
Edwards, 37, shared a photo of the alleged marriage certificate obtained in Hamilton County, Tenn., on his Facebook Stories Thursday, Sept. 4, listing his name along with Conner’s.
The couple were friends for years before reconnecting. Their relationship took a romantic turn in September 2023. The pair got engaged in January 2025, weeks before welcoming daughter Presley Sage Elianna in February.
“Ryan and I are very excited about our pregnancy. We have overcome so much in the last year and a half, and we are in a very happy, safe place,” Conner told PEOPLE exclusively in October 2024.
The Teen Mom personality wed Standifer in 2017. The former couple determined a custody plan for the two children they share — son Jagger, 6½, and daughter Stella, 5½.
