Teen Mom’s Jenelle Evans and son Jace, 16, are living thousands of miles apart amid bitter family feud

by

As a lifestyle guru, I find myself sharing an update on the current situation of Jenelle Evans, a former Teen Mom star, and her eldest son Jace. At present, they reside in different states, approximately 2,500 miles apart, due to a disagreement that has escalated recently. This distance has been fueled by public statements made by their teenage son on social media, expressing his feelings towards Jenelle.

Jace is currently residing in North Carolina after a dispute with his mother, Jenelle, aged 33, who now lives in Las Vegas, Nevada, according to reports from TMZ on Thursday.

One key factor keeping Jace in North Carolina (currently living with a family member) is his ongoing juvenile probation, linked to personal legal matters that cannot be disclosed because of his age and confidentiality rules. This was reported by the source.

It was discovered through communication that Jace had warned his mother he would inform the Child Protective Services about her in an attempt to trigger an investigation, presumably into the MTV celebrity. However, it appears that Jace’s threat was unfounded and didn’t lead to any action by CPS, according to sources who spoke with TMZ.

In the month of August 2009, the character from Teen Mom 2 introduced her son Jace in the company of her former boyfriend Andrew Lewis. Jenelle is additionally a mother to Kaiser Orion Griffith, aged 11, and Ensley Jolie Eason who turned eight, both children being born from past relationships with Nathan Griffith and David Eason respectively.

Daily Mail has reached out to Jenelle via multiple platforms for further comment on the story. 

According to sources, Jenelle contested the claims made by Jace that he managed her younger siblings’ supervision when she wasn’t present.

According to his probation requirements, Jace was instructed to attend an anger management course, since it was reported that he struggles with authority figures.

Jenelle is determined to provide a steady home environment for her other two children, despite the challenges she’s facing with her eldest child, according to TMZ’s report.

Jenelle decided it would be beneficial for her other two kids if Jace moved out, and she agreed to this arrangement in the interest of family harmony, according to sources.

A difficult situation for Jenelle intensified on Tuesday after her son, Jace, decided to air some private family matters in front of over 41,100 people on Instagram.

Jace expressed his true feelings about his mother, stating that she’s indeed quite unconventional,” (accompanied by a text exchange where he vented about his living circumstances and referred to his mother as ‘quite eccentric’).

Jace told his mother, “I don’t require your presence, nor do I feel the need for mine. I fail to comprehend why you’re acting this way towards me simply because I’m speaking the truth. You seem irrational.

In a text conversation, the former star of “16 and Pregnant” responded to her son by saying, “It’s you who thinks your custody will be taken away. Shame on you.

The text additionally mentioned Jenelle’s former husband David Eason, as she asserted that Jace falsely accused him of attempting to choke him.

Jace said he ‘never lied’ and that Eason had indeed ‘tried to’ physically assault him.

On Tuesday, Jenelle shared an extended message on Instagram Stories with her 3.1 million followers, explaining that she’s found raising her eldest child particularly difficult due to ongoing health and legal concerns.

She expressed that her children are the center of her universe, and everything she does is aimed at safeguarding, guiding, and nurturing them, just like any other parent would. Establishing guidelines and limits is a part of this process, although it can be challenging at times.

Jace shared our private messages following the appropriate discipline, which appears to be a response from a challenging position. Although it’s painful to witness those personal moments exposed in public, I understand that this action likely stems from internal turmoil.

Jenelle expressed her hope that fans could understand the challenging family circumstances she’s facing, promising to always support her son through it all.

Managing Jace’s various health issues hasn’t been a walk in the park, but I’ve persisted in ensuring he receives the necessary medical resources, love, and support.

In my commitment, I vow to remain steadfast by his side, facing any hurdles that may arise. Simultaneously, I am determined to strive for excellence as a mother to my precious trio of children.

Jenelle requested understanding, compassion, and prayers from the public, emphasizing that these sentiments are not only for her, but also for Jace and our entire family as we navigate this challenging situation collectively.

Lately, he’s found himself in legal issues for several months now, and it seems difficult for him to abide by the rules that have been established.

‘I’ve been trying to help him navigate it, but we are butting heads in the process.’

In conclusion of her heartfelt speech, Jenelle expressed, ‘Let’s offer him compassion now… we’re all struggling with this.’ She followed it up with emoticons showing tears, a broken heart, and folded hands in prayer.

In 2010, Jenelle became well-known in the realm of reality TV through the popular MTV series “16 and Pregnant,” which documented her pregnancy with Jace. The following year, she joined the main cast of “Teen Mom.
