In tonight&#8217;s episode, the MTV reality star will bring awareness to polycystic ovary syndrome, a hormonal disorder that affects Maci and thousands of other young women.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We do a lot of advocating and awareness stuff not only in Washington D.C. but in other cities where we do fitness runs or charity events,&#8221; Maci explained. &#8220;Working with them has been awesome because I feel like we&#8217;re a group that is slowly but surely getting a lot done for PCOS and women&#8217;s health in general.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This season will also see Bentley finishing elementary school and moving up to middle school. While his homework and classes may change, Bentley&#8217;s relationship with stepdad Taylor remains stronger than ever.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"video-int-txt-4\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" readability=\"37.5\">\n<section data-textblock-tracking=\"text-block-video-text\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\" readability=\"15\">\n<p>&#8220;Taylor and Bentley are super close and they have a special bond,&#8221; Maci shared. &#8220;From the outside looking in for me, I can see the love and respect Bentley has for him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She continued, &#8220;Taylor&#8217;s a phenomenal dad, very hands-on and just a huge support for all of us. I&#8217;m not going to say he&#8217;s a perfect man because I don&#8217;t want his head to get too big, but if you have to choose somebody who is the closest, it would be him.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Teen Mom OG<\/em> airs Tuesday nights at 8 p.m. only on MTV.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eonline.com\/news\/1135396\/why-teen-mom-s-maci-bookout-is-not-even-close-to-expanding-her-family-just-yet?cmpid=rss-000000-rssfeed-365-topstories&#038;utm_source=eonline&#038;utm_medium=rssfeeds&#038;utm_campaign=rss_topstories\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: E!
