Jenelle Evans, known from Teen Mom, has secured a restraining order against her ex, David Eason, after their breakup. The order, obtained on May 16, is for six months and covers Evans and her three children, one of whom she shares with Eason.
“Jenelle is excited to move forward with her life,” her manager August Keen toldthe outlet in a statement posted May 18. “She expressed huge relief after the judge granted the restraining order.”
Jenelle Evans, 32, filed for separation from her husband in February in North Carolina, citing his “concerning and at times disturbing behavior” during their six-year marriage.
They share a 7-year-old daughter, Ensley, while Jenelle has sons Jace, 14, and Kaiser, 9, from prior relationships. David also has a daughter, Maryssa, 16.
Jenelle filed for separation, typically a year before North Carolina’s “absolute divorce,” four months after David faced child abuse charges related to an incident involving Jace.
Despite her personal and legal challenges, Jenelle has returned to the Teen Mom franchise. MTV announced that she will make a special appearance on the season two premiere of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter on May 30, amid her divorce and significant life changes. This is her second appearance on the latest installment of the reality franchise since she briefly appeared in its debut season in 2022.
Previously, MTV ended their association with her in 2019 following reports that David had shot and killed their family dog.
However, police later stated that they found no evidence to substantiate the allegations against David, and no charges were filed.
After the alleged incident was first reported, David shared a since-deleted Instagram video of the dog appearing to snap at Ensley’s face, writing,
“I dont give a damn what animal bites my baby on the face… whether it be your dog or mine, a dog is a dog and I dont put up with that s–t at all. I’m all about protecting my family, it is my lifes mission.”
