Amanda Conner, wife of Teenage mother star Ryan Edwards, was arrested Sunday morning near Chattanooga, Tennessee, and charged with driving under the influence and child abuse and neglect after allegedly getting behind the wheel with the couple’s baby daughter in the car.
According to TMZwhich first reported the arrest, Conner was also charged with driving on the wrong side of the road.
A dispatch call received by the outlet indicated that it was her husband who alerted police when she became concerned that she might have taken drugs before leaving the house with the baby.
Her bond was set at $16,000 and she had not been released as of 4:30 p.m. local time Sunday. A court hearing is scheduled for June 3.
Conner, 35, and Edwards, 37, married in September 2025, shortly after he finalized his divorce from his ex-wife, Mackenzie Standifer.
The pair had been friends for years before beginning a relationship in September 2023. Together, they share a one-year-old daughter, Presley, who was in the car at the time of the alleged incident.
The arrest arrives on a complicated family background.
Edwards has had a well-documented history of addiction and legal trouble dating back years, including a 2023 court order requiring him to seek help for substance abuse following a series of arrests involving Standifer.
He is also father to Bentley, 17, with a colleague Teenage mother original cast member Maci Bookout, as well as Jagger, 7, and Stella, 6, with Standifer.
Bookout, who married Taylor McKinney in 2016 and shares two children with him, has previously spoken candidly about the toll Edwards’ struggles have taken.
“Obviously, when things first went down with Ryan and him going to jail and making stupid decisions and stuff, I definitely had a breaking point,” she shared.
She described therapy and self-compassion as the tools that helped her through.
“I think the therapy that I had done in the past… and just making sure that I check in with myself and that I give myself grace and that I let myself fall apart and then pick myself back up is a game changer.”
