Get to Know All of the ‘Teen Mom’ Stepparents!

We all love the moms and dads from the Teen Mom franchise — but what about the stepparents?

Gary Shirley's wife Kristina Anderson was introduced on the show in a very transitional period — right after his ex Amber Portwood was released from jail.

He stepped up as a father figure for her son Bentley shortly after they started dating, and even though Taylor and Maci both share two children together — two-year-old Jayde and one-year-old Maverick — Taylor treats Bentley as his own. He even included his stepson's name in an adorable tattoo tribute to his kids on his arm.
