Maci Bookout Celebrates Bentley’s 16th Birthday

Teen Mom star Maci Bookout recently celebrated a significant milestone in her son Bentley’s life as he turned 16. On Sunday, October 27, 2024, Bookout took to Instagram to share her heartfelt birthday wishes. “Today you are 16! Happy Birthday to my boy @bentleycedwards. You are an incredible young man, and I thank God for choosing me to be your mom. I love you, Bentley. Happy birthday!” she expressed.

Maci provided a glimpse into Bentley’s birthday festivities, which were held at WindStone Golf Club in Georgia earlier this month. The celebration featured various activities, including Glow Vibe Golf, a photo booth, and delectable treats from Chatta-Cakes Bakery, owned by Shannon Anderson. Bentley’s father, Ryan Edwards, and his pregnant girlfriend, Amanda Conner, were among the guests at the event.

Bookout, who is also the mother to Bentley’s siblings, Jayde and Maverick, has shared her journey through motherhood since she first appeared on MTV’s 16 and Pregnant in 2009. She has chronicled her ups and downs in parenting and coparenting with Edwards, who is now 36.

After the celebration, Maci acknowledged the friends who have stood by Bentley, emphasizing the importance of lifelong friendships. “Benny is so blessed to have you in his life. Thank you to everyone who made this birthday party the best ever for a kid who truly deserves it!” she wrote, expressing her gratitude to those who helped make the day special.

In addition to juggling her responsibilities as a mother, Maci has continued to appear on reality television. This summer, she featured in Teen Mom: The Next Chapter, showcasing Bentley’s growth, including his lessons on driving. “It’s just his ability to show up for others and be there for them,” she praised her son in an earlier interview. “He’s the same old Bentley, just a little taller and perhaps with a deeper voice.”

While the future of Teen Mom remains uncertain, Maci assures that Bentley is surrounded by love as he navigates his growing relationship with Ryan. “I feel like him and Bentley are in a really good place. I’m hopeful every day,” she shared.

As Bentley steps into his teenage years, Maci had one final message for him on his birthday: “Never forget how exceptional you are. Keep on keepin’ on, Benny!” The new season of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter is currently available for streaming on Paramount+.
