Mackenzie and Josh experienced a turbulent relationship marked by frequent breakups and reconciliations. Their first split happened in August 2019, following Mackenzie's accusation that Josh had been unfaithful with her cousin Ashley shortly after her mother Angie died from brain cancer.

However, just a couple of months later in October 2019, they reconciled and Josh proposed to Mackenzie again. Despite their efforts to make things work, their relationship continued to be rocky.

During a period of separation, Mackenzie made the decision to move to Florida with their children in September 2020, and eventually, Josh followed her and they gave their relationship another chance.

Unfortunately, after 12 years together, Mackenzie and Josh decided to end their relationship for good in July 2022.
