Courtland is here to set the record straight!
It’s no secret that Jenelle Evans doesn’t get along with her mother, Babs. It’s also no secret that she doesn’t get along with her ex-husband, Courtland Rogers. So, naturally, when Courtland, who was released from prison earlier this year, mentioned on Twitter that he “got to see and talk with Babs…” everyone was on high alert.
Well, fans didn’t know what to think. Were they planning? Plotting? Hanging out? Stepping out? The options were endless.
Well, the speculation stops here (that is, if you believe Courtland). We know what went down and why they were meeting because Rogers opened up to RadarOnline and explained it all this morning!
He’s Back!

Earlier this month we let you know that Jenelle’s ex-husband, Courtland Rogers, might be back in the picture. Although there were reports that the former Mr. Evans might be back to vie for Jenelle’s affections (despite her engagement to David Eason), it seems that Courtland has indeed turned over a new leaf after recovering from addiction and completing his prison sentence.

Courtland, of course, was Evans’ partner during some of her wildest days. Their whirlwind relationship ended in 2013 when they were both arrested in connection with heroin possession. While Jenelle was able to get clean fairly quickly, Courtland struggled to make the change. They separated at that time, but their divorce wasn’t finalized until the following year.
Valid Concerns

Given their history, it’s unsurprising that Evans would be wary of a meeting between Barbara and Courtland. After all, the Evans women are currently embroiled in a custody battle over Jenelle’s eldest son, Jace.
With the things that Courtland might be able to reveal about her past, a past from which she’s fought tooth and nail to distance herself, Jenelle’s initial response to Rogers’ post about talking to Babs made a whole lot of sense.
Luckily for Jenelle, it looks like there is nothing to worry about.
