TEEN Mom star Ryan Edwards’ rehab girlfriend Amanda Conner has confirmed she’s pregnant and is ‘trying’ to quit vaping.
Fans had grown convinced that Amanda, 33, and Ryan, 36, were expecting their first baby together, just a year after meeting in the summer of 2023 while in rehab.

And now the influencer has confirmed the big news, with multiple TikTok posts revealing her bump.
One video sees Amanda dancing to Tinashe’s No Broke Boys in tight loungewear while a shirtless Ryan cradles her stomach in another.
A third upload saw her furiously respond to a fan who had called her out for using her vape pen in a September post.
They had commented: “The vape isn’t good for the baby.”

Responding to the backlash, Amanda used a Teen Mom 2 soundbite where Jenelle Evans famously yells, “I have not smoked all day.”
The Next Chapter star’s partner later acknowledged she was both pregnant and vaping but emphasised she was working on quitting.
Amanda wrote: “Currently working on putting the vape down. Thank you so much for your concern.”
She also shared with another commenter, “This has been a rough pregnancy.”
Ryan already shares two children, a son named Jagger and a daughter, Stella, with his estranged wife, Mackenzie Edwards, 28.
The reality TV star is also a father to Bentley, his 15-year-old son with Teen Mom co-star and ex-girlfriend Maci Bookout.
Fans speculated about their new arrival after noticing Amanda’s “baby bump” in an Instagram video.
BABY ON BOARD?
In the short clip, Amanda documented a day out with Ryan, comprising multiple pictures of the couple spending time together.
“Unity on the Bridge,” Amanda captioned the Instagram Reel.
In the snaps, Amanda could be seen wearing a halter neck, white crop top and pink track pants, and a denim shirt tied around her waist.
Eagle-eyed followers claimed she was pregnant while discussing the video on a Reddit forum dedicated to the MTV reality show.
One person wrote, “Pay close attention to the beginning and when she’s sitting. But more importantly the beginning. She’s totally pregnant.”
Another Reddit user said Amanda was “deff pregnant,” while a third person added, “Click on the video so it’s full screen. Then watch down at the bottom as she is walking in the bridge. That’s the biggest bump.”
She followed her first post up with a picture of her and Ryan, set to the voiceover of a man saying, “I want to do life with you. And that’s it.”
Reacting to the picture, one Instagram user wrote, “Is she pregnant?? I swear there is a baby bump!!”
It wasn’t the first time Amanda and Ryan had sparked pregnancy rumors.
In July, she shared a mirror selfie of herself and Ryan standing together on Instagram, in which Amanda appeared to cradle her stomach.
While he was wearing a collared black Nike shirt with gray shorts, Amanda was dressed in a skintight white T-shirt with a navy skirt.
RYAN EDWARDS’ RELATIONSHIP STRUGGLES
Ryan Edwards and his estranged wife, Mackenzie, have also been in court over their divorce and custody of their kids:
Ryan is battling Mackenzie, 28, while trying to divorce her.
Mackenzie filed for divorce from her husband in February 2023 after getting married in 2017.
The U.S. Sun previously reported the divorce was dismissed in February 2024, because there were no filings in the case for 270 days.
Ryan then filed his own divorce case against his estranged wife.
According to a Tennessee court docket viewed by The U.S. Sun, Ryan filed for “divorce with minor child” in early March.
He also filed a permanent proposed parenting plan.
Ryan requested to be the “designated the primary residential parent” of their two children and “that child support be assigned from Mackenzie’s income.”
The U.S. Sun also reported Mackenzie filed an order of protection against Ryan on March 28, 2023.
The order asked Ryan to have no contact and stay away from her.
In early April 2024, a hearing took place and both parties agreed to a mutual restraining order.
“That pose looks likes a pregnant woman taking her first month pics for pregnancy pictures,” one fan commented under the post.
RYAN AND AMANDA’S RELATIONSHIP TIMELINE
Teen Mom alum Ryan met Amanda while he was in rehab last August after multiple run-ins with the law.
He was sentenced to nearly one year in Silverdale Detention Center last April, after Ryan was arrested for drinking under the influence, harassing his estranged wife Mackenzie, and drug possession charges.
He was released from prison in July 2023, and Ryan entered Cadas Rehab in Chattanooga, Tennessee, to complete a 28-day program.
After completing the program, he was ordered to the Oasis halfway house, located on the same property as Cadas, during a court hearing in August 2023.
During his time at Oasis, Ryan first met Amanda before they began dating each other.
In February, Amanda confirmed she and Ryan were living together after she posted a photo of him hanging up a TV.
She then posted a photo of hardwood floors with the caption, “Our new home.”
Last month, Amanda sparked engagement rumors after fans noticed she was wearing a huge diamond ring in photos shared on Instagram.
