Ryan Edwards and his wife Mackenzie shocked the world when they announced theyā€™re expecting their first child together on the March 26 teaser for Teen Mom 2. And although it seems like their dreams of starting a family are finally coming true, their co-star Kailyn Lowry is suspicious of Mackenzieā€™s motive. ā€œBeing a part of this reality TV thing has opened my eyes to a lot of things. And anybody with their eyes open (in this industry) could see what she was doing from a miles away,ā€ Kailyn explained to US Weekly in reference to Mackenzieā€™s pregnancy. Yikes!

Interestingly, Kailyn didnā€™t stop there. She also took to Twitter to accuse Mackenzie of getting pregnant for financial reasons. ā€œThat girl trying to secure her bag on someone elseā€™s name,ā€ Kailyn said on March 28. ā€œBut IN MY OPINION. I see someone who came in & manipulated a situation to her own benefit. To secure a check. Then went a step further & got pregnant,ā€ she continued. And by ā€œsituation,ā€ Kailyn is referring to Ryanā€™s history of drug abuse.

Sadly, just one day after Mackenzieā€™s pregnancy announcement, Ryan was arrested for violating his probation from a previous heroin case, according to TMZ. But, according to his wife, ā€œeverything is fine.ā€ ā€œPossession of heroin was the original charge from April before he went to rehab. Part of his case was he had to be booked. He took a drug test yesterday and passed,ā€ Mackenzie explained to Radar Online. Phew!

Nevertheless, we do wish Ryan and Mackenzie the best. The baby will be the coupleā€™s first child together. Ryan is already a father to Bentley with his ex-girlfriend and co-star Maci Bookout, and Mackenzie shares a son Hudson with her ex-husband Zachary Stephens. And as far as Mackenzie is concerned, sheā€™s not here for Kailynā€™s harsh comments. ā€œSheā€™s a b*tch,ā€ Mackenzie said to Radar Online. Ouch! I guess that settles it.
