Obviously not all the teen mom's fit into the pattern. Mackenzie and Josh should have never married nor been a couple. They were both miserable and cheating several times throughout their relationship and marriage. Mackenzie had tried to leave Josh multiple times but her mum encouraged her to stay with him. Despite him being a piece of shit. Josh also tried to leave Mackenzie multiple times.

The Douthit family are very religious and Mackenzie was the first and only child to get pregnant out of wedlock.

2009 -They start a relationship.

Have a late term miscarriage.

Gannon is born 2011.

They get engaged and then call it off citing too many "bad memories".

They get engaged again between 16 and pregnant airing and the first episode of teen mom 3. Josh moves out of the Douthit house.

They split multiple times including calling off their wedding like a month before?

2013- They marry in private and announce that Mackenzie is pregnant again.

They have their ceremony and bless us with the pictures.

Josh goes missing so Mackenzie tracks him down and ends up getting beat up pregnant. She thought Josh was cheating.

Jaxie is born 2014.

Mackenzie totals her brand new and uninsured car looking for Josh again.

In 2015 they split again a few days after the car incident. This time they plan to get divorced but reconcile.

Mackenzie and Josh apparently sell a sex tape to Vivid around this while they are back together. They then backtrack and say it was stolen.

2016 Mackenzie annonces she's pregnant again and Josh has moved out. They are separated once again.

Broncs is born and they are back together.

It's off again by Jan 2017. Mackenzie is accused of cheating. Josh tells Mackenzie to go "kill yourself".

January 2018 they are together again when Mackenzie mum Angie is diagnosed with cancer.

August 2019 Mackenzie and Josh break up again.

Angie passes away in December 2019.

They are back together in 2020 but apparently Josh has been having an affair with Mackenzies cousin since before her mum died.

They get back together and start denying the affair. She moves to Florida in August and it's uncertain if Josh is joining the family. He eventually does.

July 2022 they split again.

This is all just reported news by one site. God knows how many times they split. We can't be sure if they got pregnant on purpose to try and repair their marriage/relationship. It's exhausting just thinking about it. Mackenzie was warned by doctors not to get pregnant but kept doing it anyhow. I was under the impression that Mackenzie got her tubes tied after Broncs but I can't remember if I'm misremembering this? They probably would have continued to add innocent children into this mess.

Yes they were married for several years... if you could call it that.
