Maci shared a cryptic quote to her Instagram, and fans are trying to decipher its meaning.
“Someone once said if you love their children, don’t break their mother,” the 32-year-old posted. “Their mother is their primary source of strength and emotional support.
“I feel like some of y’all need to see this.”
The message was indeed seen by fans, who flooded a Reddit chat room speculating if it was intended for Taylor, 32.
“Maci hasn’t liked that man in years,” one person concluded. “She’s so bored with him and it’s obvious.”
“She’s prob just had a fight with Taylor,” another guessed.
“It’s almost uncomfortable watching how she is with him, almost like she just tolerates him,” a third summarized. “It seems like she has cared more about Ryan recently than she does her own husband.”
UNDER PRESSURE
Ryan is Maci’s ex, Ryan Edwards, with whom she shared her 15-year-old son Bentley.
The 36-year-old has been in and out of prison for the last year due to drugs, harassment, and other charges.
In July, Maci confessed she and Taylor’s relationship struggled while dealing with Ryan’s legal issues.
“There’s a lot of temperature checking for [me and my husband, Taylor] because obviously, our past with Ryan has not been the greatest, it has not been easy and [it’s been] really, really bad at times,” the TV star told the Daily Mail.
“I feel pressure because I’m trying to support [my son] Bentley and do the right thing by him, and I’m learning how to even communicate and have a relationship with Ryan at all.
“But then, [Taylor] is my husband, and he has raised Bentley with me, so there’s just a lot of temperature checking that goes on,” Maci added.
She then noted that she was trying to “not forget to check my own temperature and figure out what my boundaries are and what I’m OK with and what I’m comfortable with. It’s been a lot.”
Taylor added his input, “You’re going to see us probably at a better point in a co-parenting relationship than we had been in a long time.”
COMING ATTRACTIONS
Maci and Tyler’s relationship drama looks like it will play out on the upcoming season of Teen Mom: Family Reunion.
A just-released trailer for the show features breaking down in tears while discussing marital woes with her husband.
The scene highlighted the Teen Mom OG star couple’s therapy session with Taylor.
She hinted at troubles in paradise by claiming Taylor made a remark about her parenting of their seven-year-old daughter, Jade.
“He said he would not want his daughter to become the mother that I am,” Maci said, choking back tears.
Their therapist then insisted that the couple talk about their issues.
Family Reunion premieres on Wednesday, March 13, at 8:00pm EST.
Maci and Taylor tied the knot in October 2016 and are parents to two kids: Jade and Maverick, six.
