'Teen Mom' star Jenelle Evans calls out ex David Eason for not being a 'real husband'

'Teen Mom' star Jenelle Evans officially announced her formal separation from David Eason in March, 2024

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA: Jenelle Evans, star of 'Teen Mom,' is ready to expose all of David Eason's dark secrets and has already started to speak out against him. What is Jenelle revealing about their separation, and why is she holding back some of the truth?

On Sunday, August 11, Jenelle took to X to criticize her ex, writing, "Wasted so much time, energy, and money.. I’m more mad at myself than anything."

While replying to one of her followers, she further noted, "Exactly, I paid for everything.. that’s why he had so much fun. Taking care of your family is more attractive than anything in this world. Failed to be a real husband."

Speaking of her ex's working status, she wrote, "He’s had many jobs but nothing he stuck with. Same pattern every time he started a new job."

How many baby daddy does 'Teen Mom's Jenelle Evans have?

Parenting has had its challenges for Jenelle. At just seventeen, she welcomed her first child, a son named Jace Vahn Evans, on August 2, 2009. While shooting '16 and Pregnant', Jenelle was still in a relationship with Andrew Lewis, Jace's father. However, Andrew is not involved in Jace's life, as the couple separated soon after his birth. As Jenelle faced personal struggles, she eventually gave her mother custody of Jace.

On June 30, 2014, Jenelle gave birth to Kaiser Orion Griffith, her second child, with her ex-boyfriend Nathan Griffith. After their split in August 2015, the former couple engaged in numerous custody battles over Kaiser. As of October 2020, Jenelle is Kaiser's primary caregiver, with Nathan having visitation rights every other weekend, as outlined in their custody arrangement.

On January 24, 2017, Jenelle and David, who later married in September 2017, welcomed their daughter, Ensley Jolie Eason. In May 2019, when Ensley was just two years old, the family dog, Nugget, bit her on the face, leading David to shoot and kill the dog. Following this incident, Jenelle temporarily lost custody of both Kaiser and Ensley. However, in July 2019, she regained custody of both children.

Why did 'Teen Mom's Jenelle Evans and David Eason split?

In March, Jenelle filed for a permanent separation from her husband, David. The former 'Teen Mom 2' cast member has officially announced her formal separation from her spouse of six years.

After her divorce from David, Jenelle recently returned to the 'Teen Mom' franchise. In a recent interview, she revealed that she decided to speak out against David because she was afraid of losing custody of her eldest son, Jace, to him again.

Before deciding to file for formal separation in February, Jenelle told E! News that she and David had been "going through ups and downs for six months to a year." Jenelle claims she made the decision to divorce David after he was charged with child abuse and "assault by strangulation" by a grand jury in January.

The allegations stemmed from an incident that David had with 14-year-old Jace back in September. Jenelle stated that she "didn't want anything" to stand in the way of her getting custody of Jace back from CPS and/or her mother, Barbara Evans, including the case of David, which is still ongoing.

What is 'Teen Mom's Jenelle Evans diagnosed with?

After suffering from "extremely bad tension headaches and full body aches" for years, Jenelle revealed that she has been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. The 'Teen Mom 2' alum spoke about her chronic, long-term illness, describing how she has been in pain for as long as she "can remember."
