| Jenelle Evans[2] (previously Rogers) | Oak Island, North Carolina[2] [3] | Jenelle continues to reconcile the responsibilities of motherhood with her love of partying. With her son Jace's father out of the picture, Jenelle relies heavily on her mother Barbara. The two have an explosive relationship, which is amplified by the fact that Barbara has temporary custody of Jace. Through it all, Jenelle struggles to prove herself as a mom and responsible adult, but her party girl ways keep leading her down the wrong path. When Jenelle and Kieffer get arrested, she must choose between changing her ways or continuing on a downward spiral that could quickly hit rock bottom. As of June 2016, Barbara continues to have custody of Jace. The mother and daughter have long been fighting over custody of the little boy, as documented on Teen Mom 2.[4] On December 4, 2012, Jenelle married Courtland Rogers. The couple got engaged in November 2012 and were expecting her second child. Jenelle stated that she missed a few days of taking her birth control pills and was notified of the pregnancy while at a doctors appointment.[5] It was announced on January 25, 2013, that she and Courtland had split and that she had suffered a miscarriage.[6] Despite reports of a miscarriage, it was later revealed in the fifth season that Jenelle chose to abort her pregnancy and divorced Courtland after a short marriage.[7][8] In June 2013, Jenelle started dating Nathan Griffith, a former model whom she met on Tinder. Within months of dating, they quickly moved in together and she became pregnant with their first child. Nathan has a daughter named Emery, who is from a previous relationship.[9] On June 29, 2014, she gave birth to her second child, a son named Kaiser Orion Griffith.[10] In January 2015, Jenelle and Nathan got engaged. However, they broke off their engagement in August of the same year. After their break-up, the former couple became engaged in a custody battle over Kaiser.[11] In January 2017, Jenelle and Nathan reached a joint custody agreement in court, where Nathan would have Kaiser on the first weekend and the last two weekends of every month (Thursday-Sunday).[12] In September 2015, Jenelle started dating David Eason, a pipewelder whom she met on Tinder. Shortly after, they moved in together. David has two children from previous relationships; daughter Maryssa Rose and son Kaden David.[13] David does not have custody of Kaden, as his ex (the child's mother) was granted a no contact order against him following allegations of domestic violence. Jenelle gave birth to their first child together, a daughter named Ensley Jolie Eason, on January 24, 2017.[14] In February 2017, Jenelle announced on Instagram that she and David are engaged.[15] |
