Jenelle Evans, former Teen Mom 2 star, took a nostalgic trip down memory lane by sharing a TikTok video featuring throwback footage of her 14-year-old son, Jace, as a baby. The video includes moments of Jace’s first steps, an Easter celebration, and a birthday party. In the caption, Evans reflects on the past, expressing how she was always present for her son, even if it went unnoticed by others.
The TikTok post comes after Evans claimed that the Child Protective Services (CPS) case against her and husband David Eason regarding Jace was dropped. Court documents revealed that the Columbus County Department of Social Services dismissed a juvenile petition filed in October 2023 earlier this month.
In a TikTok video on February 15, Evans shared the news of the voluntary dismissal by CPS, emphasizing her happiness and asking for privacy for her son’s mental health. Evans has had a tumultuous history regarding custody of Jace, with a longstanding feud with her mother, Barbara Evans. In March 2023, Jenelle was awarded custody of Jace after over a decade of him being under Barbara’s care.
The family made headlines again in October 2023 when a CPS case was opened after Jace ran away from home for the third time, with Barbara claiming Eason had assaulted him. Despite the challenges, Jenelle has been sharing glimpses of her family life on social media, including videos of her children playing at home.
Jenelle is also the mother of 9-year-old son Kaiser (with ex Nathan Griffith) and 6-year-old daughter Ensley (with David Eason). The article concludes by mentioning Jenelle’s history with MTV’s Teen Mom franchise and her departure in 2019 after reports of Eason allegedly shooting and killing their French bulldog. MTV severed ties with Eason in February 2018 and stopped filming with Jenelle in April 2019.
