Maci Bookout is looking happy nowadays as the "Teen Mom OG" star is in a relationship with boyfriend Taylor McKinney.

The two have been together since 2012, and last year, the couple celebrated the birth of their daughter Jayde. Now that their daughter is 7 months old, fans are wondering when the two will tie the knot, and in an interview with Us Weekly, Maci said that she has been wondering about the same thing herself.

The 24-year-old told the magazine that it has gotten to the point where she has wondered what is causing the delay.
"It's so to the point where I'm like, 'Really, what is the deal?'" she said.

Back in the May finale of the MTV show, fans thought that a proposal wasn't far off as Taylor was seen shopping for a ring, but it looks like the 26-year-old has yet to pop the question.

"Marriage is something I want in my life," said the reality star. "In my opinion—and I think Taylor would agree—we pretty much are already married."

Aside from Jayde, Maci and Taylor are also raising Maci's son, Bentley, 7, whose father is her ex-fiance Ryan Edwards. Back in the last season of "Teen Mom OG," Maci complained that Ryan was not taking on more responsibilities and was not helping out as much with Bentley. It looks like the same still holds true this season as in the season 2 premiere, Ryan failed to show up at Bentley's first day of school, telling friends that it was just his son's first day in another grade.

While Ryan seems to take a more laid-back approach to parenting, Taylor appears to be very hands-on as Maci previously took to Instagram to share a photo of him and Bentley changing Jayde's diaper. Maci told Us that she and Taylor make a good team as she said to the magazine, "I don't think we would be able to do everything we have going on if we didn't have each other."
