TEEN Mom alum Ryan Edwards’ wife Mackenzie shared a rare photo of the troubled star.
The 33-year-old spent time with their one-year-old daughter Stella in the new photo.
Mackenzie, 24, took to Instagram on Tuesday to share a snap of Stella cuddling up to Ryan as they sat at a table.
The MTV star wore a flannel shirt and backwards baseball cap as he looked down at his daughter.
Alongside the photo, Mackenzie wrote: “Pretty rare that we get 1 on 1 time with each of our kids… but when we do it’s perfect”
Shortly after Mackenzie shared the rare photo, Teen Mom OG fans rushed to the comments section to note Ryan’s appearance.
One fan said he looked “rough,” as another added: “No hate at all but Ryan looks like hell…”
In addition to Stella, the couple also share three-year-old son Jagger.

RYAN’S LEGAL TROUBLES
Earlier this month, The Sun exclusively revealed Ryan demanded a judge ban “irrelevant” past arrests and drug use from his upcoming car crash trial.
He was sued by Tennessee residents James and Janet Byrne for negligence after he was involved in a car accident back in August 2018.
James, the driver of a 1997 Nissan pickup truck, claimed Ryan “negligently and recklessly” rear-ended him with his 2018 Ford pickup truck.
The alleged victim alleged Ryan “violently” struck his car when he was stopped at a red traffic signal.
The trial is currently set for November 9, 2021 and is expected to last “two or three days.”
The Sun revealed Ryan filed a motion to “prohibit proof or questioning as to the Defendant’s prior criminal or drug activities that were not in any way related with the motor vehicle accident at issue.”
The court papers continued: “Defendant has conceded simple fault for causing the accident at issue, and these other matters would be extraneous, irrelevant, confusing, unfairly prejudicial and unduly burdensome to the Defendant.”
Ryan is referring to his battle with addiction, which has been heavily documented on Teen Mom OG.
HISTORY OF DRUG USE
The TV personality’s legal trouble with drugs began in March 2017 when he was issued a citation for simple possession of heroin.
According to the citation, 14 hypodermic needles- one filled with heroin- was found during a search of his car.
After a bag was tied to the center of the console with a dark substance inside, Ryan told police: “It’s heroin and I have a problem.”
Ryan was not arrested and was instead issued a misdemeanor citation for simple possession of heroin and possession of drug paraphernalia.
He pleaded guilty to the simple possession of heroin charge and was sentenced to 11 months and 29 days in jail, which was suspended.
During a 2017 episode of Teen Mom OG, Ryan was caught on camera slurring his words and nodding off while on his way to his wedding with Mackenzie.
Cameras caught Mackenzie as she punched her husband on the shoulder to wake him up and steered the wheel for him as he swerved.
Ryan checked into rehab for the second time after the shocking episode aired.
DRUG-RELATED ARRESTS
His legal problems continued when he was arrested for petition to revoke when he failed a court-ordered drug test in March 2018.
The reality star was arrested again in July 2018 for breaking probation from a past possession of heroin charge and received probation.
He then completed his third rehab stint in November 2018.
However, Ryan was arrested again in January 2019 for breaking probation from a past possession of heroin charge and was sentenced to 90 days in jail, which he served.
Earlier this year, Ryan exclusively told The Sun that he is sober.
