She'd Love to Do 'Dancing With the Stars'

Her Favorite Thing About 'Teen Mom' Is Changing Lives
When Maci talked to The Stir in 2012, she said, "Looking back at the past three years and hearing every single day that you know I've changed someone's life or I've helped a mom get back in school or I inspired a 16-year-old girl to use birth control, stuff like that, to hear that every day, that's not something that everyone gets to hear." She's totally right!

She Didn't Find Out She Was Pregnant With Baby #3 Until Recently

The Key to Co-Parenting With Ryan Is Communication
Maci and Ryan, Bentley's dad, haven't always gotten along, but the key to being the best parents possible for Bentley? Communication. Maci told The Stir in 2013: "The decisions need to be made between us and not necessarily everyone else that is around. Since we've kind of caught on to that and learned to communicate with each other, rather than letting everyone else's opinions get involved, it's made it a lot easier on us, and I think it's made it a lot easier on Bentley too."
