We talked about experience we’ve shared

, Bristol said to Touch magazine.

Bristol, who is now competing on “Dancing With the Stars” said,

The other day I saw an episode of ‘Teen Mom,’ and then I texted [Maci], saying, ‘Oh my gosh, I totally went through the exact same thing!

Maci, on the other hand is now staying at Nashville at the vicinity of her new boyfriend, her childhood pal, Kyle King. She says, Edwards has started to be a father and taking responsibilities of their son. He shares custody of Bentley on Wednesday and Thursday nights and every other weekend.
