During Season 12, Mallorie revealed that she does not have any family who lives close by. She introduced viewers to MaCayla, Brandon, and the rest of the community she has built in Alabama ahead of her fiancé Rasit Kebabci‘s arrival in the States. Mallorie also got candid about a car accident she and MaCayla faced ahead of the season, which was nearly fatal.

Ahead of the Tell All Part 2, we’re diving into everything Mallorie has shared about her best friend MaCayla, her family, and more.

Who is 90 Day Fiancé‘s MaCayla Ridgeway?

MaCayla appeared on Season 12 of 90 Day Fiancé as Mallorie’s best friend. MaCayla has been very vocal online about how much fun it was to be on reality TV with her friends. When Mallorie and Rasit went to his first baseball game during Episode 10, Mallorie revealed that the company MaCayla works for has a connection with the team. In turn, MaCayla was able to set up an opportunity for Rasit to throw the first pitch at the game. Ahead of the Tell All, MaCayla dyed her hair dark red.

Who is MaCayla’s husband?

During the season, viewers got to know MaCayla’s husband, Ryn Ridgeway, as well. While Rasit didn’t want Mallorie to stay friends with her ex-fling, Brandon, Mallorie revealed she couldn’t cut Brandon out of her life because he is MaCayla’s husband’s best friend. Together, they have a toddler son named Paul.

What happened to MaCayla and Mallorie?

In 2024, MaCayla and Mallorie got into a car accident that left them both in the hospital. Cullman Daily revealed, “MaCayla Ridgeway is the mother to a 7 month old child, and was hit head on in a crash recently. The wreck resulted in her breaking her left femur, dislocating her left elbow and breaking her left arm, and dislocating her right ankle and breaking it as well

The report continued, “Mallorie DeGrange is also a friend of MaCayla, she was in the vehicle during the crash and just got home from the hospital on Friday after having a part of her colon and intestine removed. She had to have a huge laceration stitched up from her seat belt. Her bowels had quit working after the wreck which caused the drs to have to leave a drain in to prevent sepsis but her bowels have since regained function, allowing her to go home.”

Does MaCayla appear at the Tell All?

MaCayla is set to appear at the Season 12 Tell All during Part 2 of the three-part event. During the preview for Part 2 at the end of Part 1, MaCayla tells Mallorie, “I’m sorry to bring this up. I don’t feel like [Brandon’s] dating life is really your concern anymore.”
