After Jenelle Evans gave birth to her son Jace on “16 and Pregnant”, she was picked to appear on a brand new show called “Teen Mom”. That, my reality TV-loving friends, was the beginning of her trajectory to fame.
For the past 10 years, Jenelle has been on camera and we’ve all been able to take a good hard look at her life as we watch along eagerly. That is, until now. Jenelle Evans has been officially kicked off “Teen Mom” and won’t be appearing anymore. We know it’s been hard to follow along with all the drama as it unfolds off-screen, but we have the scoop.
Here’s everything you need to know about this reality star mom and everything that led up to her getting kicked off the show that made her. We’re also going to hear what the other “Teen Mom” moms have to say about her and everything that has happened. Buckle your seatbelts, because it’s about to get bumpy.

If you’re also a devout “Teen Mom 2” watcher, you already know Jenelle has probably had the roughest time on the show. At least we vote so.
When Jace was just a year old, she signed custody of him over to her mom, Barbara. 7 years later, Barbara was granted full custody of Jace, and Jenelle could only have visitation with her son. Things are already off to a rough start.

Over the course of the show’s 10 years, we’ve gotten a front row seat to all of Jenelle’s messy relationships (including with Barbara, as she battled her constantly for custody) and some more than unsavory guys she picked for herself. Andrew was the first, but he was not the last. We watched her date train wreck Kieffer, then get engaged and then un-engaged to Gary Head (the military guy who she ended up getting a matching mugshot with).
Next, Jenelle actually went through with a marriage to Courtland Rogers (whom she credits with her heroin addiction…she also got an abortion while she was married to him).
From there, she moved on to Nathan Griffith (forever our fav) and the two had their son Kaiser together, whom they call Kai for short. Alright, although the two fought a ton during their time together on the show, at least Nathan totally has it together and really cares about his son.
Speaking to Us Weekly, Jenelle said, “The hardest moment for this season would have to be me and Nathan not getting along and him moving on to somebody else. That was just really hard for me to deal with, trying to co-parent with him but not hold a grudge against him and keep him away from my son at the same time.”
Fast forward to 2015, and Jenelle had found herself a new man. David Eason.

She found him on Tinder, and on September 22nd she made their relationship Instagram official, introducing him to her followers.
David already came with two children of his own: daughter Maryssa Rose and son Kaden.
August 2016, Jenelle announced on social media that she is indeed pregnant. Along with the photo announcing her pregnancy, she wrote, “Time to introduce the world to our baby girl soon, Ensley Jolie Eason. She will be arriving Jan. 28th. We couldn’t be any happier! @uncledave01.”

She then told US Weekly, “He’s financially stable and emotionally stable.”
“And he’s a great support system for me, and I need that in my life.”
