Ryan Edwards is one of Teen Mom's original stars, and his wife Mackenzie Edwards has recently surprised fans with her new look. When Ryan first met Mackenzie, she sported light ombre hair and had round facial features, but the reality star wife is now unrecognizable following her feud with Ryan's ex Maci Bookout. In a recent Instagram video, Mackenzie shocked fans with how much her appearance has changed since she was introduced to the world of Teen Mom.
Ryan started his journey on reality television when his then-girlfriend Maci was pregnant with his baby on 16 and Pregnant in 2009. Although they took on the role of co-parents, Ryan and Maci's romantic relationship did not last long after the birth of their son Bentley. By 2010, Ryan's relationship with Maci had reached its end, and the pair of parents entered their ongoing stalemate that Teen Mom would go on to document for the next decade. Fortunately, Ryan was not without love for long as he got married to Mackenzie in 2017. Mackenzie has undergone great change since her relationship with Ryan. On top of having two children with Ryan, Mackenzie also endured brutal arguments with her husband's ex, Maci.
In addition to Maci potentially quitting Teen Mom, Ryan and Mackenzie believe she was the reason they were fired from the MTV series. Maci is a veteran of reality television, so Mackenzie's feud with the former teen mom inevitably culminated in the network opting to let go of Mackenzie and Ryan. Since her firing, however, Mackenzie has reinvented herself. Fans were taken aback by Mackenzie's appearance during an appearance she made on her Instagram account. Mackenzie shared a video of herself promoting Swanky Badger, a men's store that sells everything from soap to bottle openers. While some of Mackenzie's followers may have gotten a good deal on a Father's Day present, the real takeaway was the former Teen Mom star's new look.
On the Instagram video, Mackenzie rocked wavy dark brown hair. This was a notable contrast to the locks the Teen Mom alum is known for. Since marrying Maci's Baby Daddy Ryan, Mackenzie's hair has taken on many colors. Mackenzie has donned bleach blonde to light brown hair with bright highlights, but the mother-of-two just set a new hairstyle precedent with her current dark brown look. Additionally, fans noted that Mackenzie's facial structure appears to have lengthened out over time. When Mackenzie was first married to Ryan Edwards, her face had round features. In the promotional Instagram video, Mackenzie's jawline appeared slim and longer. Whether this is the result of Mackenzie's glam or her face developing in the handful of years since fans were introduced to her is unclear.
Mackenzie has been subject to rapid change since embarking on her marriage with Ryan. On top of starting a family and feuding with Maci about her son, Mackenzie's new appearance indicates that she is a different person than she was when fans first met her. Whether Ryan and his wife will ever return to Teen Mom is unclear, but at the pace Mackenzie's developing, it's likely fans wouldn't recognize the former reality star if she did.
