Ryan and Mackenzie Edwards have been at the center of divorce rumors throughout their marriage. The speculation heated up when Ryan was arrested in January on heroin and theft charges.
After the Teen Mom OG dad was released from jail following a three-month stint on Monday, April 15, RadarOnline.com can exclusively reveal he wants time away from his wife.
Divorce?
“Ryan told Mackenzie, ‘The first thing I want to do is… I need a little time to be by myself,’” a source told RadarOnline.com. “He’s had no private time at all.”
Single Mom
Mackenzie gave birth to their son, Jagger, in October. Ryan missed the birth of their son, as he was completing a stint in rehab. He checked out in November and was arrested in January. She is also mother to son Hudson from a previous relationship.
Still Together
Fortunately for the couple, they are not separating for good.
Caring Wife
“She understands,” the source said. “She told him, ‘I’ve been taking care of these kids. You need to help me with the kids when you're done!’ She’s been really good. She’s been very firm with Ryan.”
Quiet Time
The insider revealed how Ryan, 31, is spending his “private time.” “He said he wants to sit in the woods for a whole day and not have to listen to anyone talk,” the source revealed. “He wants to get on his motorcycle and ride it.”
Dedicated Spouse?
The source hopes Mackenzie will continue to stay by his side. “I hope Mackenzie loves him till she dies,” the source said. “You never know. There are no guarantees.”
Happier Alone?
Another source previously told RadarOnline.com that Mackenzie is “more relaxed with Ryan gone.” “She’s being more like her old self where she is more down to earth and not in defense mode all the time,” the insider claimed.
Different Person
The source added, “Hopefully she doesn’t go back to being overprotective and antisocial when he comes home.”
