Maci Bookout of Teen Mom Shares ‘Trauma’ Quote Amid Speculation of Marital Struggles With Taylor McKinney
Amid ongoing speculation about her marriage with Taylor McKinney, Teen Mom star Maci Bookout recently shared a poignant quote on her Instagram Stories, shedding light on the hidden traumas often carried by mothers. The post, devoid of any caption, hinted at a deeper emotional struggle within her family dynamic. This isn’t the first time Maci has hinted at relationship issues.
Earlier in the week, she shared another cryptic quote emphasizing the significance of not causing distress to a child’s mother, who serves as their primary source of strength and support. While Maci left the post open to interpretation, fans could not help but wonder if it was directed at McKinney amid rumors of discord in their marriage. The message shared, "Part of being a daughter is growing up to find out about your mother's hidden traumas. You realize she never told you half of the horrible things she went through in life. The older you get, the more it hits you that you were raised by a superwoman disguised as an ordinary person."
She shared another cryptic quote, "Someone once said if you love their children, don’t break their mother. Their mother is their primary source of strength and emotional support. I feel like some of y’all need to see this."
As per The Sun, speculation about their relationship has been buzzing, with fans dissecting every social media post for hints. One fan added, "Maci hasn’t liked that man in years. She’s so bored with him and it’s obvious." Another fan speculated, "She’s prob just had a fight with Taylor." A third fan wrote, "It's almost uncomfortable watching how she is with him, almost like she just tolerates him. It seems like she has cared more about Ryan recently than she does her husband."
Bookout has been vocal about the challenges of co-parenting with Ryan while maintaining a healthy relationship with McKinney. She confessed, "There's a lot of temperature checking for [me and my husband, Taylor because obviously, our past with Ryan has not been the greatest, it has not been easy and [it's been] really, really bad at times. I feel pressure because I'm trying to support [my son] Bentley and do the right thing by him, and I'm learning how to even communicate and have a relationship with Ryan at all. But then, [Taylor] is my husband, and he has raised Bentley with me, so there's just a lot of temperature checking that goes on," She further added, "I am trying not to forget to check my own temperature and figure out what my boundaries are and what I'm OK with and what I'm comfortable with. It's been a lot."
McKinney echoed her sentiments, expressing optimism about their co-parenting journey. The couple's relationship struggles are set to unfold in the upcoming season of Teen Mom: Family Reunion, offering fans a glimpse into their journey of navigating parenthood, co-parenting, and marital challenges in the public eye.
