Per the reality TV outlet, not only did the 31-year-old show up to support her ex but his parents, Jen and Larry Edwards, were also in attendance.

Ryan was arrested on Apr. 7 after violating his parole, as reported by The US Sun. The Teen Mom alum was confronted and taken into custody by Chattanooga State Police after he was reportedly “harassing” his estranged wife Mackenzie Edwards, 27.

At the time of his sentencing, Judge Starnes, told the TV personality that he needed to mature for his family. “He needs to grow up, you know that. You have three kids. You may have some problems with your wife, but you have three kids,” he told Ryan, before adding, “I’m trying to save your life.”

One fan took to the comments and couldn’t help but notice how much the teen looks like his mom. “He stole your whole face,” the admirer wrote, along with a heart and laughing emoji.
