Mackenzie McKee couldn't spell ramen correctly yesterday, but the "Teen Mom OG" star made her point regardless. Mackenzie, 25, updated her Instagram on Saturday for a reminder of just how far she's come. The MTV face now running her Body By Mac fitness brand admitted she'd gone from "looking for dropped quarters" and feeding her kids "Ramon" noodles to becoming a self-sufficient businesswoman – in fact, the skimpily-clad photos showing the blonde's stunning summer body came complete with her debuting some new wheels.

Scroll for the photos that accompanied Mackenzie detailing that she grew up broke. The Oklahoma native was seen looking confident and showing off her stunning summer body in tiny denim shorts and a cropped tee as she posed both next to and inside her shiny, white four-wheel drive. Words from the mom of three referenced tough times, though, as she opened: "3 years ago I was looking for dropped quarters around the house to buy my kids Ramon noodles trying to network market and cut hair for a living."

McKee continued: Decided to open a business #bodybymac and today I bought a brand new car off the lot (my dream car) with cash.... never thought I’d be here." The star added that if people "laugh at your ideas," that you shouldn't "stop there."

Hashtags of #bossbabe #newcarvibes #fordexplorer were then used. While the post sits at over 93,000 likes – also getting a like from co-star Catelynn Lowell – the most-liked comments now see Mackenzie being told that her money comes from the show she stars on.

Currently sitting at over 300 likes is a fan comment reading: "And also rejoined teen mom... but that didn’t help at all ??." Mackenzie, who first featured on "16 & Pregnant" was briefly on "Teen Mom 3" before rejoining the franchise for her "Teen Mom OG" gig in 2019. The remark was echoed by another fan who wrote: "I’m sure teen mom helped a little bit." Over 400 others agreed. The vibe was not, however, too damning, with Mackenzie – who continues to grieve for deceased mom Angie Douthit – being sent the thumbs-up by many. Keep scrolling for the "cheating" husband.

Mackenzie has been fronting media outlets this year as her rocky relationship with husband Josh continues to leave her increasingly insecure. Together, the couple shares kids Gannon, Jaxie, and Broncs, with Josh's eyebrow-raising bar behavior and recent rumors of a cousin affair continuing to make headlines. Mackenzie did briefly reunite with Josh for a family day, but the BoomBod influencer lives solo with the kids. A popular comment shaded Josh, with the fan writing: "Get rid off the husband get a car ?? you go girl!!"

Mackenzie is approaching 1 million followers on Instagram.
