Teen Mom’s Jenelle Evans Addresses Rumor She’s ‘Talking’ to Ex-Husband David Eason Again

Teen Mom’s Jenelle Evans wants to set the record straight about her relationship with ex-husband David Eason.

Evans, 33, took to her Instagram Stories on Monday, October 13, and answered a series of questions from her followers. In response to a fan asking if she was “talking to David again,” she clarified, “F*** no,” adding a laughing emoji.

When another fan asked if Evans thought that Eason, 37, “will reach out” in the coming months, she used the digital acronyms for “I don’t know” and “I don’t care,” writing, “he’s obviously the same person I left.”

And when asked if she’s dating anyone new, Evans revealed that she’s been “single since January and haven’t dated since then. … I’m so picky now and have higher standards. No one keeps my attention long enough.”

Evans filed to separate from Eason in March 2024 after six years of marriage. In July, a judge agreed to grant her motion for an “absolute divorce” between her and her ex. 

“His attitude that he had, putting everyone in a bad mood all the time,” she exclusively told Us Weekly at the time. “Everyone was walking on eggshells and I’m like, I don’t have to live like this, and I don’t have to stay together just because we have kids.”

The MTV reality star shares Jace, 16, with Andrew Lewis, Kaiser, 11, with Nathan Griffith, and Ensley, 8, with Eason. She said she was in a better place following her divorce.

“It took a little time to get used to, but now I’m enjoying my alone time,” she noted last summer. “I’m feeling great because I’m taking the time to heal for myself and taking this time to be alone.”

While Eason moved on with girlfriend Kenleigh Heatwole, Evans seems determined to move forward. 

“Now I can breathe 👏🏻🎉,” she wrote via Instagram when their split became official. “Went through our assets and came to a settlement, ladies please don’t ever put anything in anyone else’s name but your own. The battle is over! 😭🙈 #LessonLearned #Divorced.”

In August, Evans exclusively shared with Us how the exes’ assets were divided. 

“Unfortunately, North Carolina is a 50/50 state and even though I paid for the majority of our assets, they had to be divided regardless,” she said. “I don’t think a lot of people put that into perspective when getting married, and they definitely should. Prenups should be more accepted into society in my opinion.”

Per the settlement, Evans had to pay her ex-husband more than $30,000 and is also responsible for paying the rest of the mortgage of their North Carolina home, a reported $138,920.

“Even though I was left with some debt,” Evans told Us, “I hope everyone can learn from my mistakes and life lessons once again. I’m happy to close this chapter for good.”
