"Mackenzie is irate, but she's going to get over it," a source told RadarOnline.com. "She doesn't care at this point. She's all in with him."
The arrest seems to have blindsided Mackenzie, as the insider claimed, "They talked three weeks ago about having another baby."
As RadarOnline.com broke, the 31-year-old was arrested on January 23, 2019. He reported to the Hamilton County Probation Office, where he was arrested due to outstanding warrants. Hamilton County charged him with theft of services stemming from a December 2018 incident. He was also charged with possession of heroin from Red Bank. He is being held in Hamilton County Jail with no bond.
In a police report obtained from Chattanooga Police Department, a Bud's Sports Bar server contacted police when Edwards allegedly left without paying his bar tab. "Edwards had ordered six Jack Daniels Whiskey drinks, totaling $36, and left without paying for them" the report read.
Edwards completed a three-month rehab program for substance abuse on Thanksgiving Day after a relapse. He missed the October birth of his son Jagger with Mackenzie because of his rehab stint.
Edwards, who is also father to Bentley, 10, with Maci Bookout, betrayed his wife again when RadarOnline.com broke that he was busted on the hookup app Tinder. In the text messages verified by RadarOnline.com, Edwards sent dirty messages and penis photos to a woman. The woman claimed to RadarOnline.com they had sex without a condom at her home. He also asked the woman if she "f**ks with blow," which is slang for cocaine. But Mackenzie ignored the scandal and posted photos of the couple from the holidays.
The trouble started when Edwards was issued a citation in March 2017 for simple possession of heroin. Police confiscated 14 hypodermic needles. One needle reportedly contained heroin. He checked into rehab after his May 2017 wedding where he was filmed falling asleep at the wheel and slurring his words. He left treatment after 21 days instead of 30.
Then in March 2018, he was arrested for petition to revoke after failing a drug test in January 2018. He tested positive for opiates and morphine in a urine sample. He was arrested again in July 2018 for breaking probation from a past possession of heroin charge. He was sentenced in both cases.
