MARRIAGE OVER

Mackenzie announced her split from Josh in July, writing on Instagram: "With all the messages I'm receiving and articles coming out, I wanted you guys to hear what's going on from me alone.

“Sometimes things work and sometimes, no matter how hard you fight, it just doesn't work out. I am breaking my silence about Josh and I being done.

"I will always respect him as the father of my children but it's time for me to find my happy."

The U.S. Sun can confirm the couple has yet to file for divorce, according to Florida court records. 

They share children Gannon, 10, Jaxie, 8, and Broncs, 5.

JOSH'S NEW ROMANCE

While Mackenzie has been open about focusing on healing and self-love during the breakup, Josh has moved on with the Missouri receptionist. 

Earlier this week, he posted a shoutout to Halie. 

He captioned a photo of his girlfriend: “This woman… What I see is kindness, selflessness, caring, and an amazing genuine person! People hold onto and live in the past way too much, the beautiful thing as a person is you can fail and truly learn from that failure.

"Growth comes in several different ways, and your values change! BTW- you are so damn gorgeous @halienlow.”

The two made headlines when Josh posted a photo of Halie straddling him at a bar with his head in her chest. 

MAC'S NEW LIFE

Mackenzie responded by saying it is “not hard” to watch Josh move on, as she “was very unhappy for a very long time.”

She said in the Instagram video: “I was miserable. I was living with a lot of anger, resentment and bitterness and sticking up for [Josh] so I didn’t look silly for being with him.

“I have healed a lot and I am living to my full potential. I was never going to live to my full potential. You cannot live to your full potential with someone you’re not happy with. It doesn’t mean that he’s a bad person or I’m a bad person, it means we were not the people for each other.”

She said of the mother of two: “I prayed for him and his future spouse, that she can love my children, she can respect our co-parenting situation, and that they can be happy together.

“Whoever he’s with had a friend in me and someone who prays for them before she even knew it. I’m the baby mama that can just be your friend, invite you in my house and love you, love your children, and hopefully me and you can have a healthy relationship.”

Mackenzie was fired from the Teen Mom franchise earlier this year.
