Maci and Taylor started seeing each other in 2012 following her split from childhood friend Kyle King.

Goodbye, long distance! The MTV star told fans in May 2014 that her boyfriend of two years was moving from Dallas to Tennessee.

“Just dropped T off at the airport... can’t believe that the next time I see him he will officially be a Tennessee resident #makinmoves,” Maci tweeted at the time.

A year after the twosome moved in together, Maci and Taylor welcomed their first child together, a daughter named Jayde Carter. "Jayde made her grand entrance at 1:59pm today,” the Bulletproof author tweeted on May 29, 2015. "She weighed 7lbs 15oz at birth. She is beautiful and as healthy as can be!"

Business partners! The duo launched their joint clothing line, Things That Matter, in November 2015.

Maci admitted to Us in December 2015 that was expecting a proposal from Taylor after three years together.

“It’s so to the point where I’m like, ‘Really, what is the deal?’” she told Us at the time. “Marriage is something I want in my life. In my opinion — and I think Taylor would agree — we pretty much are already married. So it’s kind of like, ‘All right, what are we waiting on?’ I’m confused.”

Taylor popped the question on the beach in Los Angles in January 2016. “Well y'all, my best friend asked me to marry him! I'm one lucky lady, I love you T!” Maci captioned a photo from the proposal on Instagram at the time.

The couple expanded their family again in May 2016 when Maci gave birth to son Maverick Reed. She announced the news via Twitter: ”Mr. Maverick Reed has officially made his debut & completed our family. So much love, so many blessings!"

Maci and Taylor tied the knot in front of 165 guests and MTV cameras in Greenville, Florida, on October 8, 2016. "I'm excited to finally be able to call Taylor my husband!" the reality star told Us at the time. Taylor added that Maci “deserves” the “title [of wife].”

During season 7 of Teen Mom OG, Maci revealed that she suffered a miscarriage in 2017. “Her name’s Dandy. Dandelion,” she told producers after Taylor got up from the dinner table. “I think it’s important for people that are watching that we talk about it.”

The pair plan on adopting in the future, she exclusively revealed to Us in May 2019.

She also noted that if they have kids, they want to wait a bit. "It's kind of one of those things, people say, 'Oh, we're waiting until we're ready to have kids.' You're never going to be ready. We will never be ready," she shared with Us. "You just have to do it, type of thing. But we want the little ones to be a little bit older."

"Taylor and I both always wanted to adopt. Now it's just a matter of timing, and really accepting the process," she said. "Because we don't want to adopt a baby. And not that we only want one, but we are open to siblings also."

The couple shared multiple photos from their Halloween adventures, dressing the entire family up as the Addams Family.

The couple have heard on social media that they've had struggles but a source told Us "there’s no truth to these rumors whatsoever." In fact, "they laugh at them as they are happier together than ever.”
