Teen Mom star Mackenzie McKee and her fiancé, Khesanio Hall, discuss her having an embryo transfer in a teaser clip from the upcoming episode of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter exclusively shared by In Touch.
In the teaser clip for the Thursday, March 20, episode, Mackenzie, 30, spoke to Khes, 30, and her friend Cayla about undergoing the procedure in hopes of becoming pregnant. Mackenzie even revealed that there was a good chance she could become pregnant with twins and used spoons to demonstrate the possibility.
“They took an egg, they took a sperm and they made an embryo,” Mackenzie explained. “We have four embryos, right? But we are choosing to transfer two. Why are we choosing to transfer two? Because if you transfer two embryos, there’s an 80 percent chance one of them sticks and you have one baby. However, this comes with the risk that there’s a 20 percent chance that both of them stick and you have twins.”
After revealing that she could potentially have twins, Mackenzie said there was a small chance she could have even more kids. “There’s a two percent chance that these both split into two different babies. Now you got four,” she said.
While the couple seemed open to having twins, Khes admitted it would be “very bad” to have four babies.
“I would rather be told I’m pregnant with twins than I’m not pregnant,” Mackenzie said. “Because I don’t think I can go through this again. I’m gonna be very, very honest.”
Mackenzie is already the mother to children Gannon, 13, Jaxie, 11, and Broncs, 8, with ex-husband Josh McKee, whom she divorced in 2024.
Following her split from Josh, 31, Mackenzie found love with Khes and they announced their engagement in May 2024.
“I had my dad, sisters and best friend in town. We decided to all dress up for a photo shoot and head to the beach,” she told People about the beach proposal that Khes had organized. “When I arrived at the beach, I saw my man there, ready to ask me to marry him … The first thing that came to my mind was, ‘Oh my God, I am loved. I get to marry this man that I love so much.’”
After noting that she was confident that Khes is her “soulmate,” she said that she hasn’t had any “doubts” about their relationship. “He never ceases to amaze me with how much thought goes into important events,” she continued.
While Mackenzie gushed that the day was perfect, she said the “only thing missing” was her mother, Angie Douthit, who died of cancer in 2019. “I’m confident she was there,” she added of her mom’s presence at the engagement.
When it comes to her kids, Mackenzie praised Khes for being so involved in their lives. “My kids are raised by Khes. So he is security for all of us. The hero that came to our rescue. I love his love for them,” she said. “It’s not just a stepdad relationship, it’s a true love deep in his heart. I know my kids wouldn’t want life any other way than for Khes to be a part of it forever.”
Teen Mom: The Next Chapter airs on MTV Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET.
