Teen Mom OG star Mackenzie McKee has had a rough past year to say the least. Her mother, Angie Douthit, sadly died in Dec. 2019 after a long battle with cancer. Mackenzie's marriage has also been through the wringer, with her husband Josh McKee admitting that while he was on the road for a work trip, he, “did go to the bar and was inappropriate with things” with another woman. After admitting that both of them had actually been unfaithful over the course of their relationship, the MTV personality even announced she was divorcing Josh, but the couple later reconciled.

Mackenzie then dropped the bombshell that she found out Josh was seemingly having an affair with her cousin just weeks after her mom's death. "I[']m now opening my eyes to what a horrible man [J]osh has been. He has been a lie," Mackenzie said on social media. She later, however, denied that it was an affair, confusing fans even more. Mackenzie and Josh share kids Gannon, eight, Jaxie, six, and Broncs, three.

Despite all of the drama, it seems like Mackenzie and Josh have decided to set aside their differences and focus on their kids. This week, the mother-of-three posted a series of photos on Instagram posing at a water park with Josh and their kids. "White water was not ready for our energy. I just tore that water park up," she captioned the pictures. One sweet photo shows all five of them smiling and posing for the camera.

One fan commented on the post noting how well Mack and Josh seem to co-parent together. "Best friends for life, Only way to do it," the reality star replied.
