“Teen Mom” star Ryan Edwards’ wife, Amanda Conner, has been arrested for allegedly driving under the influence with their baby in the car.

Conner was arrested Sunday morning near Chattanooga, Tennessee, and booked on a charge of driving under the influence and child abuse/neglect, TMZ reported.

The outlet also reported that she was charged for driving on the wrong side of the road.

According to the dispatch call of the incident obtained by TMZ, the dispatcher doesn’t use names but says a husband called the police on his wife because he was worried she was using narcotics and left with the baby in the car.

Conner’s bond was reportedly set for $16,000, and she hadn’t been released on bond by 4:30 p.m. local time.

Her court hearing is set for June 3.

Edwards, 37, and Conner, 35, started dating in September 2023, but had been friends for years before they got into a relationship. They got married in September 2025, just two weeks after he finalized his divorce from ex-wife Mackenzie Standifer.

Edwards and Conner share a 1-year-old daughter, Presley. Edwards is also a dad to son Bentley, 17, whom he shares with fellow “Teen Mom” star Maci Bookout, as well as his two children with Standifer —son Jagger, 7, and daughter Stella, 6.

Edwards has battled addiction and had multiple run-ins with the law since he and Bookout made their reality debut on season one of “16 & Pregnant” in 2009.

In March 2023, a judge ordered Edwards to get help for his substance abuse issues after he was arrested for numerous crimes involving Standifer.

Bookout, 34, told Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast in July 2023 that she had reached “a breaking point” over Edwards’ public struggles. 

“Obviously, when things first went down with Ryan and him having to go to jail and making stupid decisions and stuff, I definitely had a breaking point then,” she said.

She added, “But I think the [therapy] I had done previously … 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.”

Bookout married her husband, Taylor McKinney, in October 2016. They share two kids together: daughter Jayde, 10, and son Maverick, 9.
