Amanda is the first woman Ryan has been linked to romantically since his split from Mackenzie.
ALL ABOUT AMANDA
Like Ryan, his newest love interest has a lengthy criminal history involving drugs.
As previously reported by The U.S. Sun, Amanda is from Chattanooga, Tennessee.
She is a mother to one son.
Ryan and Amanda were recently spotted out together at a restaurant with a baby in tow.
It's unclear, however, if the baby was hers.
Amanda's legal troubles date back to 2009 in Hamilton County.
According to the county website, she was arrested for a variety of crimes, including theft under $500 in February 2009, where she was hit with a suspended sentence of 11 months and 29 days and was placed on probation.
She was also charged with theft of property in June 2016 and received the same judgment.
Then, in September 2016, Amanda was arrested for possession of a controlled substance.
She pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 11 months and 29 days in jail.
In August 2017 she was arrested again for possession of a controlled substance.
She again pleaded guilty and was ordered to enter into CADAS rehab.
In November 2021, Amanda was arrested for possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of controlled substance and registration, and misuse of evidence.
Those charges were dropped in April 2023.
Amanda was caught and taken into custody on charges of possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and attempted fraudulent use of a credit or debit card in May 2022.
The first two charges were dismissed and she received a suspended sentence of 11 months and 29 days.
She was also placed on probation.
In June 2022 she was arrested again, this time for driving under the influence, possession of legend drugs without prescription, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of controlled substance and other traffic-related charges.
She pleaded guilty to the DUI and was furloughed to CADAS rehab on July 13, 2023 – the same time as Ryan.
Amanda completed treatment on August 17 and all other charges against her were dismissed.
She wound up in trouble again when she was arrested on August 19 for drugs general category for resale, possession of controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, and contraband in a penal institution.
The District Attorney's Office dismissed all those charges.
RYAN & MACK'S REUNION
Ryan's latest foray into romance comes after he and his estranged wife Mackenzie reunited at the halfway house he was staying at on August 15.
The pair was seen doing laps on public sidewalks around the facility before going their separate ways.
During their walk, they appeared to be laughing at times and flirting, though they did not appear to touch at all.
Mackenzie had on her diamond wedding ring, while Ryan was seen without his wedding band.
Much of their interaction involved heated and emotional conversations.
At certain points in the conversation, Mackenzie could be seen dropping her arms as if in defeat.
She appeared frustrated as the Teen Mom OG alum spoke.
Ryan, for his part, looked defensive as Mackenzie expressed herself.
Mackenzie and Ryan are parents to kids Jagger, four, and Stella, three.
Both have one child each from previous relationships.
Mackenzie and Ryan called it quits early this year.
She filed a petition for a protection order against him on February 8, accusing him of domestic violence.
The order was dropped during a July 14 hearing to allow Ryan to speak with their children through her.
