Let’s find out more about her boyfriend through Josh Panter Biography below.
Meet Josh Panter, Teen Mom star Mackenzie Edwards’ rumored boyfriend
Josh Panter and Mackenzie Edwards started dating in early 2023. According to Josh, he had known the Teen Mom star for “about 10 years” before they reunited in January 2023. “Mackenzie and I are friends and enjoy being together. Neither of us are worried about ‘titles.’ We were both just getting out of a marriage,” he added.
We’ll discuss Josh’s previous marriage later. As for Mackenzie, she met Ryan Edwards in May 2016, got engaged in December, and hit a snag when Ryan was arrested for heroin possession in March 2017. Despite Ryan appearing to be under the influence, they went ahead with the wedding in May. Sadly, in June, her ex-husband checked into a substance abuse treatment facility.
After Ryan’s first stint in rehab, the couple held a second wedding ceremony in November 2017. The following year, they welcomed their first child, Jagger, in October 2018. Then, in January 2020, they welcomed their second child, a daughter named Stella.
Unfortunately, in January 2023, Ryan accused Mackenzie of cheating on IG, which led to his arrest for violating a protective order in February. Mackenzie then filed for divorce, and Ryan faced further arrests in March and April.
Amid the controversy, Josh’s mother also confirmed that her son is dating the Teen Mom star. “My blonde bandits… I love them,” Josh’s mother shared a post on FB along with a series of photos from the family’s trip to Orange Beach, Alabama, in early June.
Although Mackenzie wasn’t in any of the photos, she was tagged in the post.
Has Josh Panter ever been married?
That’s right, Josh Panter married his ex-wife Brooklynn Laurel Panter in June 2019, two months after getting engaged and having been together for over a year.
“Marrying you is one of my greatest accomplishments… I am so proud to have you as my husband and most importantly, as the father of our little girl,” Brooklynn wrote on her FB at the time. “You have done so much for our family and work SO hard for us every single day.
Sadly, they divorced in February 2023.
An insider revealed their tumultuous marriage. “Josh and Brooklynn had a rocky relationship, but she persevered for the sake of the kids and his family. She wanted things to be better. She didn’t want her kids to grow up in a broken home,” he said. “She wanted affection and attention from him, and wanted him to spend time with their kids. He wasn’t very romantic.”
Additionally, the insider alleged that Brooklynn is a stay-at-home mom, wife, and homemaker who “cannot continue living as a single mother in a marriage.”
As for the children, the former couple has two children together, Nevley Jo and Stetson Jack (born May 11, 2021). They are very close to Mackenzie.
Additionally, Brooklynn is on good terms with the Teen Mom star. “Mackenzie reached out to Brooklynn herself and asked if she wanted to have lunch together in early March. Brooklynn wanted to see her because she’s close to her kids. She was also worried about trouble with Ryan,” the insider said. “Mackenzie said she would never cross any lines because these are Brooklynn’s kids.”
