When Teen Mom stars find new significant others, no matter how perfectly matched they may seem at first, fans know better than to get invested. Much like their poor children who have to see them introduce and dismiss partners over and over again, we’re pretty used to getting invested in a Teen Mom s/o just to watch the star kick them to the curb.
But there are some relationships that just don’t seem like they’ll ever end. Now, one of the longest standing Teen Mom couples is splitting up.
When Jenelle Evans announced her divorce from her extremely controversial husband David Eason, many fans were blindsided. It’s true that fans knew they probably wouldn’t last forever, but not many expected them to break up after only a few years of marriage.
Don’t get us wrong though -- most fans were relieved that the couple split up. After David Eason was fired from MTV for his homophobic remarks and Jenelle was later cut off after David shot their family dog, Nugget, it’s no wonder that David wasn’t exactly a fan favorite. And that’s not even to mention the way that he treated Jenelle, both on-camera and in off-camera rumors and speculation.
Now, another cast member in Jenelle’s neck of the woods has called it quit in their relationship. Jenelle’s ex fiance and second baby daddy Nathan Griffith has been dating his girlfriend Ashley Lanhardt for years now, and even put a ring on it… but now it looks like the ring is off.
Fans will remember Nathan and Ashley’s relationship as being pretty controversial itself. Although Ashley is in the industry of addiction treatment, fans think she might be enabling Nathan. But that didn’t stop the two from posting limitless gym selfies and getting into twitter wars with Jenelle.
But apparently, it’s over now!
“Uh oh,” reddit user Motherof2cubs observed. “Nate sending the “you up” text to all of [Instagram]. He and Ashley stopped following each other *again.*”
They attached a shot of Nathan’s Instagram story that just reads, “Who’s up lol.”
Some fans theorized that Jenelle could be the source of the breakup! “Maybe Ashley is getting jealous Nate and Jenelle are getting along again,” wrote Chrisbradley1.
That’s not the only messiness Nathan has gotten up to since the split. He also shared a link to a popular adult video website seemingly by accident.
One brave redditor followed the link and reported back. “Seeing how the video was about a GF cheating while the BF was at the gym, could this be some bizarre subtweet? I know...I know I'm a conspiracy theorist, but it sounded good, seeing as him and Ashley are having issues right now and he's drunk tweeting,” wrote user joeysflipphone.

Nathan Griffith Shows Birthday Love for Jenelle Evans After Divorce Announcement
Jenelle Evans just turned 28 and a lot has changed for her since she was first sixteen and pregnant.
Jenelle’s story has been long and winding, and it’s still going on! After she announced she’ll be divorcing her third baby daddy David Eason fans have been wondering whether there’s a new love in her future.
But is it possible that her new love is actually from her past?
Jenelle Evans is 28 years old today, and she has a lot to show for her years on this earth. She has three beautiful children, a bestselling novel and quite a few side hustles.
Unfortunately, many parts of her life are very up in the air.
After Jenelle announced that she was filing for divorce from her third baby daddy, David Eason, her life has been something of a whirlwind. She’s moved to a different state and seems to be starting entirely from scratch. But there does seem to be one stabilizing force in her life: her relationship with Nathan Griffith!
Jenelle has had a lot on her mind these past few weeks, so it’s no wonder she’d want to take a break from it all. She explained her hardship over Instagram in a lengthy outpouring about her decision to prioritize her children and herself first and end her marriage to her controversial ex, David Eason.
“I’ve mostly kept off social media the past few days because I’ve been focused on making some big life decisions,” she began.
“I’ve lived my life on camera since I was 17 years old. And a lot of it hasn’t been pretty. But its been my life,” she continued. “Like anyone else I want what’s best for my kids and I want to be happy. With time away from Teen Mom I’ve started to look at my life differently and I know I need to make changes.
“I’m starting that now,” she wrote.
She went on to pen:
"The kids and I have moved away from David. Nobody gets into a marriage expecting it to end but I nkow thats what is best for me, and for my kids. Today I've filed papers to start that process. I appreciate the support from everybody who has asked how I am. Me and hte kids are doing great. We need some time to be together. But you'll hear from us again soon. - Jenelle"
It's safe to say that Jenelle's announcement has received a huge reaction in the Teen Mom fanbase. Soon after her announcement, she reportedly moved to Tennessee with her daughter Ensley, and even hit David with a restraining order!
Even though Jenelle and Nathan’s relationship was explosive toward the end, it started off as strong and passionate as any. In fact, at the time, many people believed that Nathan was going to be Jenelle’s last “soulmate.”
As we all know, things didn’t exactly go as planned in their relationship. And even though they attempted to patch things up by having a child together, we all know how that ended.
Jenelle and Nathan managed to work out a co-parenting relationship after their romantic relationship ended, but then they began feuding again not long after. This time, the source of the feud was Jenelle’s new husband, David Eason!
Nathan and his mother Doris both claimed that David was being violent and abusive toward their son Kaiser, and this drove a deep wedge between him and Jenelle.
But now that David’s out of the picture, their relationship seems to be in a much better place.
For her birthday, Jenelle posted a stunning photoshoot in a mustard yellow sweater and jeans. She captioned the shots with a quote from My Chemical Romance lead singer Gerard Way: “Sometimes you have to kind of die inside in order to rise from your own ashes and believe in yourself and love yourself to become a new person,” and added “#HappyBirthdayToMe.”
It’s clear that Jenelle is hinting at a new life, and Nathan might just be a part of it!
He replied to her tweet, writing,
“I know the critics will criticize and I know the ‘hatters’ aka haters will hate this but this is honestly the first time in a while that I’ve seen [Jenelle] make serious and positive changes in her life and thinking. I’m so proud of the person you’re becoming. HAPPY BIRTHDAY.”
Fans had a lot of theories about this tweet, with many believing she and Nathan are back together!
“They f*ckin,” user millennial_dumpling wrote simply. User roxannesvacationhat agreed, “Quick after s*x post while she’s in the shower.” Another user, ogsouthern, wrote in, “ARe they banging? This makes it seem like they’re banging.”
