“A family doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to be united. 💜🙏🌳 #bennybaby #mimiandpapa #beverlyhills #familyfirst,” she captioned the set of shots, one group selfie and one with just her and Jen.

In another photo from the reunion, McKinney poses with just Bentley, with the teen smiling as he stands noticeably taller than his mom.

“Ask Benny to help pick the caption: ‘IDK’ 🤷🏼‍♀️😅,” Maci — who also shares son Maverick, 6, and daughter Jayde, 7, with husband Taylor McKinney — jokes in the caption, adding, “He’s lucky he’s cute! #teenagers #bennybaby #teenmomreunion.”

In addition to Bentley, Ryan is also dad to daughter Stella, 3, and son Jagger, 5, with estranged wife Mackenzie.

Speaking with PEOPLE about the latest episodes of the reality series, Maci and Taylor say their family is looking forward to their own next chapter, which will see Bentley come into his own as a high school student.

“If you ask him, it’s no big deal,” Taylor laughed. “But he’s excited.”

“I’m excited for him. I didn’t hate high school — well, I kind of did, but I think he’s going to really enjoy it,” Maci said. “I’m excited for him because this is a new chapter and honestly these four years are usually like the best, the most fun four years.”

There’s another milestone looming that the mom of three is a little more uncertain about, with her admitting, “The high school thing doesn’t scare me as much as the fact that he’s a little over a year away from driving.”
