Ms. Jenelle Evans, aged 33 and widely known for her role on Teen Mom, has legally finalized her divorce from Mr. David Eason. The divorce was granted on Friday following a court appearance by Ms. Evans’ legal counsel, during which the presiding judge approved the dissolution of marriage notwithstanding the pending signed order.
In a statement to TMZ, Ms. Evans remarked: “After a really long and draining process, my divorce from David is official. This chapter has been heavy, but I’m walking away from it with clarity, strength, and so much love for my kids. My focus is on them and our future, and I’m just thankful to finally have peace and a fresh start.”
Ms. Evans and Mr. Eason initially separated in March 2024. Grounds for the separation, as cited by Ms. Evans, included allegations concerning Mr. Eason’s erratic conduct, substance abuse, and his unwillingness to obtain or maintain employment.
Also on Friday, Ms. Jenelle Evans engaged with her 3.1 million followers via Instagram’s Q&A feature. When one user referenced a media report suggesting her divorce might be finalized that day—writing, “The Ashley is reporting you may get your divorce today… GOOD LUCK!”—Ms. Evans confirmed, replying: “Finally! NC makes people suffer through a divorce,” in reference to the laws governing divorce in her home state of North Carolina.
Another follower inquired about her well-being and remarked, “You look happier without David. You deserve the best.” Ms. Evans responded affirmatively, stating: “I’m thriving. I actually realized my worth, you guys,” accompanied by a laughing-while-crying emoji.
Earlier in the week, Ms. Evans shared a selfie on Instagram with the caption: “You glow differently when you prioritize yourself,” reflecting a renewed sense of personal well-being.
In June, prior to the formal finalization of the divorce, Ms. Evans hosted a celebratory event—commonly referred to as a “divorce party”—at Spearmint Rhino, a well-known strip club in New York City. The occasion was attended by a group of her close female friends and marked her symbolic departure from the marriage.
Prior to the aforementioned celebration, Ms. Jenelle Evans stated in an interview with TMZ that the conclusion of her relationship with Mr. David Eason had brought her a renewed sense of well-being, noting that she felt significantly less anxious and described herself as feeling “totally free.”
Ms. Evans and Mr. Eason share one child together, a daughter named Ensley Jolie Eason, aged eight. In addition, Ms. Evans is the mother of two other children: Jace Vaughn, aged 15, whom she shares with former partner Mr. Andrew Lewis; and Kaiser Orion, aged 10, from her previous relationship with Mr. Nathan Griffin.#newsafro_
