Jenelle Evans is putting her energy where it matters most: her kids, her peace and a fresh start. The Teen Mom 2 alum, 33, is entering a new chapter after filing for divorce from David Eason earlier this year and she’s also getting real about coparenting.
In an exclusive interview with In Touch, Jenelle opened up about how things are going when it comes to raising her three children, Jace, 14, Kaiser, 9, and Ensley, 7, with their three different fathers: Andrew Lewis, Nathan Griffith and David.
“Right now, coparenting is kind of rocky,” Jenelle admits. “Jace’s father [Andrew] keeps in contact a little bit. Nathan, of course, he has his own situation going on, so he hasn’t been in contact with Kaiser for like two years. And then with Ensley, David really hasn’t been involved.”
Jenelle shares that although David has been told he can try to reach out and call their daughter, he hasn’t taken the initiative. “So really, my kids have just been keeping to themselves. I’ve been doing it all on my own, which, I mean, I don’t mind either because it’s more peaceful that way.”
And if you’ve followed Jenelle’s journey since 16 and Pregnant, this is a major shift. Her history with all three exes has been turbulent, to say the least.
Her first son Jace’s father, Andrew, was largely absent from his life for years. The two briefly reconnected when Andrew appeared on Teen Mom 2, but Jenelle has maintained full custody of Jace, which was officially granted to her from her mother, Barbara Evans, in 2023 after over a decade of custody battles.
