She moved to Las Vegas for a fresh start following her contentious split from her estranged husband David Eason.
And Jenelle Evans showed that the new move had allowed her to bond with her oldest son Jace, 15, in photos she posted on Instagram over the weekend.
The 32-year-old Teen Mom 2 star has rarely been pictured with Jace, who repeatedly ran away from home when he was living in North Carolina with his mother and her husband David.
Even though Jace had subsequent behavior problems while under the care of his grandmother, there wasn't any hint of conflict in the sweet family photo that Janelle shared with her 3.1 million followers.
'Wishing everyone Good Luck tonight at today’s #supermotocross FINALS! Thanks for an amazing experience my kids will never forget!,' she captioned her post.
Jace, who turned 15 last month, has rarely been pictured with his mother in recent months, following a stint in which she lost custody of him after Jace accused her estranged husband David Eason of abusing him
In her group photo, Jenelle posted next to Jace, who towered over her in a black-and-white uniform with black racing boots and a matching helmet on with the visor flipped up.
His mother was dressed in a similar black-and-white jersey, but she tucked the flowing top into her slim blue jeans, which she paired with gray trainers.
She had her younger son Kaiser, 10, who wore a similar outfit to Jack but with gray sneakers, and he kept his red-tinted visor down, obscuring his face.
Ensley, seven, rounded out the quartet, and she wore a light blue long-sleeve shirt with black leggings and pink trainers.
All three of her kids appeared to be involved in the dirt bike event, as they were all seen on bikes in subsequent photos.
Jace looked shockingly mature as he flashed a soft smile at Ensley, who donned a green helmet as she sat on her bike.
She posed for the camera with her face completely obscured under the helmet in another snap, and Kaiser also appeared to be getting some tips from an adult as he sat on his bike on a dirt mound.
On Monday, Jenelle's manager August Keen shared with TMZ that the reality star had moved to Las Vegas in late spring, though she avoided publicizing the move after she was filmed considering moving to Vegas on an episode of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter that aired in June.
August added that Jenelle had purchased a house in Sin City in March, though it took her a few months to fully get the family moved in.
Although Jenelle celebrated her oldest child's birthday last month, she has rarely posed for photos with him in recent months.
That was partly due to logistics, as Jace was removed from her and David's custody after Eason allegedly attacked the teen in September 2023, at which point Jace went to live with Jenelle's mother, Barbara.

On August 3, Jenelle — who recently broke down in tears over her split with husband David — took to Instagram to share a heartfelt photo of the mother–son duo commemorating his 15th birthday.
In the snap, the pair had their arms around each other in front of a candlelit cake. Jenelle also shared a short clip of Jace's festivities.
'What is 15? Being 15 is riding 4 wheelers, building tents, ordering pizza with friends. Thats how @jace_vahn wanted his birthday!,' she captioned the post.
'How did those years go by so quick?! I’m the short one now! #HappyBirthday,' she concluded.
In February, Jenelle reunited with Jace after Child Protective Services dropped their charges against her and her husband David Eason.
She took to her TikTok at the time to share a sweet video of a family dinner with Jace.
it was a striking contrast to the picture of a family painted by Jace last year.
According to TMZ, he alleged that his stepfather David — whom Jenelle married in 2017 — had assaulted him following his most recent attempt to run away from home.
The insiders went on to claim that Evans' son exhibited visible marks on his neck and arms, and the alleged assault was said to have taken place at an acquaintance's residence.
Both the local police department and CPS were said to have obtained Ring camera footage of the incident.
Following the alleged assault, Evans and Eason both became the subject of a investigation for suspected child neglect.
It was reported that the latter of the two had officially been charged with a misdemeanor related to his involvement in the incident in October.
'I have some good news and I'm kind of shaking right now from anxiety,' she began in the clip. 'All allegations against me and my husband have been officially dropped (pictured Evans and Eason in 2019)
Janelle said it was likely Jace’s father, Andrew Lewis, or her mother, Barbara Evans, who leaked the info because they are the 'only two people who knew the information.' Jenelle and her mother pictured in LA in August of 2015
It was reported that Eason, whose conduct was defended by his wife earlier this year, had been accused by Evans' son Jace of physical abuse this past October.
Jace had run away from home on several occasions before then, and he had been returned to his parents each time.
Although Jace was back living under Barbara's roof — where he has lived for much of his life — he was technically under the custody of Child Protective Services, which removed him from his mother and stepfather's home.
According to the same sources, Barbara — who has had a tempestuous relationship with Jenelle over the years — is also not in touch with her daughter or David.
Jenelle also shares an nine-year-old son named Kaiser with her ex-boyfriend Nathan Griffith and daughter Ensley, seven, with David.
David also has two children — Maryssa and Kaden — from previous relationships.
