MTV has aired numerous proposals, engagements, and weddings throughout the decade that Teen Mom has been on the air, and even though a lot of the marriages have ended very badly, they certainly make for great television.
Many of the cast members of the show are in long term relationships right now, which has left fans wondering: who will be walking down the aisle next? Well, it looks like the next wedding is sooner than we expected.
Even though Teen Mom weddings are fun and exciting, most recently, the fanbase has been focused on the opposite: a divorce. Jenelle Evans shocked fans when she shared that she would be divorcing her husband David Eason!
The Teen Mom 2 star and her husband separated recently, but we were unsure what the future of their relationship was going to be.
But now, it looks like we have answers! TMZ reported that sources say Jenelle is partially motivated to protect her children and her career. They also report that Jenelle has decided she does not want to participate in a marriage that is unhealthy for her and her children.
Jenelle and David married in 2017. The Teen Mom star posted a note on Instagram explaining her side of the story.
“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.
Soon after this announcement, Jenelle was spotted with an unexpected ally: her ex fiance, Nathan Griffith
According to TMZ, Jenelle went to a bowling alley and roller arena in Tennessee with Kaiser and Ensley.
Jenelle was spotted out and about, and even snapped a picture with an employee... and it appears that her other ex, Nathan Griffith, is in the background of the shot! (Who could mistake those biceps and tats?)
A source revealed to TMZ that Nathan attended for a routine drop-off. The Ashley’s Reality Roundup clarified some details.
Sources told The Ashley that Nathan was picking Kaiser up, but Kaiser wanted Nathan to play with them, and that’s why Nathan appears to be lacing up his bowling shoes in the picture.
“Nathan was there for his son, and his son only,” a source told The Ashley. “Nathan knows where Jenelle is because she has Kaiser, and now that David is out of the picture, Jenelle has no problem with Nathan seeing Kaiser and spending time with him. Nathan’s girlfriend Ashley is aware and supportive of the situation. There is nothing happening romantically. Nathan is grateful that Jenelle is being decent to him and finally letting him see and talk to Kaiser when he wants to.”
As for the picture itself, Jenelle reportedly wasn’t fully comfortable with it.
“Jenelle has been in hiding so when the employee asked her for a photo, she initially said no, but then felt bad and agreed,” the source told The Ashley. “The girl then immediately called up TMZ.”
In fact, The Ashley revealed that someone who works for Jenelle even asked that TMZ not share the location where the picture was taken, which they did not.
But for anyone wondering what this means for the future of Jenelle and Nathan, there apparently no reason to wonder whether we’ll be seeing a reunion between the two: Nathan just confirmed he’ll soon be wedded to his girlfriend, Ashley Lanhardt!
“Ashley has been through so much with Nathan this past year and he has seen a side of her that shows him what an amazing wife and partner he can be not only to himself, but to Kaiser, as well,” an insider revealed in an interview with Hollywood Life. “ Nathan and Ashley have already discussed marriage, looked at engagement rings, and Nathan has something already in mind for when he’s ready to pop the question. It’s only a matter of time at this point.”
Moving On? Jenelle Evans Hints At New Love!
Teen Mom has been on the air for a decade, which means that fans have spent a decade getting to know the cast members’ behaviors, patterns, and habits. This means that it can be pretty easy for long-time viewers to predict what they should expect from the stars of the show.
So when Jenelle Evans revealed that she was divorcing David Eason, fans weren’t completely shocked. After all, this was far from the first time that she had broken up with one of her “soulmates.”
And it also means that fans aren’t surprised that she seems to have someone new already!
In the ten years that Jenelle Evans has been on Teen Mom, she’s spent most of the time in long term relationships.
Even though Jenelle Evans has had numerous relationships, the one that she had with her first baby daddy, Andrew, was not particularly intense. By the time Jace was born, Andrew was almost entirely out of the picture, and his recent behavior has made it clear that he’s not making the effort to be in Jenelle’s or Jace’s life.
After Andrew, Jenelle soon moved on to the ever-iconic Kieffer Delp. She and Kieffer fell head over heels in love, and even though their relationship soon grew dark, some fans think that Kieffer was Jenelle’s one true love.
A lot of dark events took place in Jenelle’s life during this time, namely her addiction to opiates.
In her memoir, Read Between The Lines: Diary of a Teenage Mom, Jenelle recalled using a lot of drugs during her relationship with Kieffer.
“I did a lot of heroin and weed,” she wrote in the memoir. “That was all I did. Just smoked and shot up and laid around chillin.”
Only around a week into this drug-heavy lifestyle, Jenelle woke up on the bathroom floor only to discover she had overdosed on heroin.
“I had no idea how long I was out or what I did during the time,” she wrote. “It was scary, not knowing. I asked Kieffer why I was lying on the f*cking floor. Kieffer said I passed out.”
Jenelle demanded why Kieffer didn’t take her to the hospital if he knew that she had passed out while on heroin. But all Kieffer had to say was “Sometimes that happens.”
“He meant that it was just a thing that happens on heroin,” Jenelle wrote in her memoir. “Sometimes you just blackout. Sometimes you lie around on the bathroom floor while your boyfriend enjoys his high… Sometimes you go down and you don’t get back up.”
After Jenelle and Kieffer broke up, Jenelle dated Courtland Rogers and Gary Head, both of which were rocky and dark relationships that didn’t last particularly long. In fact, Jenelle married and divorced Courtland in the short stretch of time between Teen Mom 2 filming seasons, so he never appeared on the show!
Shortly after, Jenelle started dating Nathan Griffith, with whom she had her second son, Kaiser. We all know how that ended up -- even though it was an intense love at first, it soon became an intense feud, and now fans are surprised that Jenelle and Nathan are even on speaking terms!
It wasn’t long after that that Jenelle met and married David Eason, who may have been her most controversial partner so far. But now we know that Jenelle is divorcing David, it’s no surprise that fans are wondering who she’ll date next! Well, it seems that we won’t have to wonder too much longer, since Jenelle is hinting at a new love!
“Isn’t it odd how one day u randomly meet someone then a few months later down the line they’ve become a huge part of your life & you an no longer imagine your life without them in it?” Jenelle shared in an update on Facebook. “Fate really brings people together when it’s least expected or needed the most.”
Fans are convinced that Jenelle is dropping hints about a new “soulmate!”
“Yesterday when I saw the post where Jenelle claimed to have found happiness ‘within herself’ my first thought was ‘She’s just saying that to show people she’s ‘grown’ since she left David, but this just means another guy will be in the picture soon.’ I didn’t comment that because people were whining about there being ‘too much negativity in the comments,’ so I kept it to myself. Today, I’m convinced I was right,” wrote user allworkandnoYahtzee on reddit. Some even think that Jenelle’s recent move to Tennessee was because she found a new man!
“I seriously believe the only reason why she went to TN specifically is that she met a new guy,” wrote user Allymoody.
But others aren’t totally convinced about this, and think Jenelle could have posted this to play mindgames on David!
“I think she’s trying to psych up David,” theorized user Bitchezbecraay. User Emmy-LouSugarbean wrote, “Yep. She’s probably laughing about it to herself. ‘Hahaha I have a [restraining order] on him so there is nothing he can do about it when I deliberately do things to antagonize him.’ Super smart of her….”
