“Ryan is actually really excited about this baby,” the source revealed. “They were trying to keep it quiet in the beginning, though, because they knew that [viewers] would have a lot of negative things to say.”
And they did. The backlash to their pregnancy announcement was swift. Reddit user farrahsoldnose posted, “Infertility is a common side effect with prolonged opioid use,” and suggested, “I’m just throwing this out there, but what if it’s not even his?” Mackenzie has stayed by Ryan’s side, despite frequent rumors of his infidelity. Could she be getting even?
From what viewers have seen, Ryan has not seemed thrilled about the pregnancy. During the season finale, Ryan told a pregnant Mackenzie, “I think we just need to separate for nine months.” Even more shocking, in an earlier episode, he told her, “Yeah, call me when [the baby’s] about three.”

However, Ryan’s absence may be the best option for a newborn given his history of outbursts and drug abuse. Days after the pregnancy announcement, he was arrested for heroin possession.
It was only a few months ago that he was celebrating his own sobriety. He had gone through a rehabilitation treatment and was back on his feet after only 21 days.
Radar Online revealed that Ryan “was arrested at his home on a warrant at 3pm on March 27 for petition to revoke, which means breaking probation, related to a past simple possession of heroin charge.” “He was held on $5,000 bond,” a spokesperson for Hamilton County Jail in Tennessee revealed. “He was bonded out at 10:15pm.”
