“We, the family, have been let go from the show by the network. It’s unbelievable,” the father of one told The Sun at the time. He added that they “got in so much trouble” following an argument with Maci and her husband, Taylor McKinney, during the season 9 reunion. At the time, Maci claimed that the grandparents hadn’t seen Bentley in a month.
Maci shared an update about her relationship with Jen and Larry while exclusively speaking to In Touch in September 2022.
“It’s a genuine, cordial relationship,” the TV personality shared at the time. “I think for now that’s the best spot for it to be and probably the healthiest. It doesn’t necessarily mean that we won’t get closer again or it won’t get stronger again in the future.”

He pleaded guilty to harassment and agreed to wear a GPS monitor, attend rehab, have no contact with Mackenzie, avoid discussing his ex on social media and “complete HCP Level 2 for 11 months and 29 days” unless he was in treatment.
In Touch confirmed that Ryan was hospitalized and arrested in April 2023 after he overdosed on drugs while driving his truck.
He was later released from the hospital and was arrested and charged with DUI and simple possession. During an April 20 hearing, Ryan was sentenced to serve the next year behind bars for violating his probation.
