Did Maci Bookout divorce Taylor McKinney?
Despite rumors that the couple has had their ups and downs, Maci has not divorced Taylor nor has confirmed that the couple is separating.
Fans have slammed Maci on social media for appearing to be "playing games with her marriage."
In February 2020 in an interview with , a source said that the pair see the gossip but “there’s no truth to those rumors whatsoever” and “they laugh at them as they are happier together than ever.”
On social media, the pair seem as loved up as when they first met.
The couple celebrated their fourth anniversary in October 2020, sharing sweet Instagram posts about their love.
“The goal is to laugh forever with someone you take seriously,” Maci wrote. “Happy fourth anniversary, babe! #wecheerforthehometeam #thingsthatmatter.”

Maci and her ex Ryan, who is the father to Bentley, have an entirely different relationship.

The Sun reported in May 2020 that Maci’s restraining order against Ryan Edwards expired.
On last season’s Teen Mom OG, Maci said Ryan did not seem sober during their son’s birthday party in October.
Maci reportedly got Ryan fired from the show after their explosive reunion show fight, according to Ryan’s dad Larry who exclusively told The Sun.
Ryan and his estranged wife Mackenzie, 24, have also been let go from the MTV series.
A source told : “Ryan and Mackenzie, as well as Jen and Larry, were all on a call with production on Tuesday informing them they won’t be on the show anymore going forward.
“The Edwards were informed that Maci’s reps wanted to go a different direction and showcase all of her abilities.
"Maci went to production and explained she wanted her story to cover all the parts of her life and no longer focus on Ryan and his family.”
On April 20, 2023, Edwards was sentenced to jail after pleading guilty to harassing Mackenzie.
The Tennessee native was sentenced to 11 months, and 29 days in jail.
