How Teen Mom’s Maci Bookout Talks to 15-Year-Old Son Bentley About Sex and Relationships

And they did take home some strategies from their time in Colombia filming the third season of MTV’s Teen Mom: Family Reunion (Wednesdays, 8 p.m.). 

“Truth be told, walking into it, I was like, Oh, great, we get to be away from the kids, be with each other and hang out with our friends,” said Maci of signing on for the experience. “Like, it’s a vacation. I’m not sure we were expecting all of the work we were going to have to do when we got there.” 

But even with all the workshops and counseling sessions, their time on the beach proved to be fairly relaxing. 

“Getting away from the kids for a little while, really helped us reset and realize, like, ‘Hey, we are on the same team,'” said Taylor. While it can be easy to get bogged down in the mental and physical load of shepherding kids from school to their various activities, removing themselves from that day-to-day grind, he said, “gave us the time to reset and reconnect.”
