Jenelle Evans Filed for Separation From David Easton in February 2024
After a tumultuous six-year relationship with Easton, Evans “filed for separation” in February 2024, per The U.S. Sun. According to The U.S. Sun, court documents showed that Evans claimed her estranged husband “has exhibited concerning and at times disturbing behavior towards the plaintiff.” She also alleged that “in May of 2019, Defendant shot and killed the family’s pet French Bulldog Nugget in front of the minor child [Ensley].” She also claimed he exhibited abusive behavior toward herself and her eldest son, Jace, fathered by her ex-boyfriend, Andrew Lewis. In addition, Evans stated she was concerned about Easton’s alcohol use.
“Defendant would regularly drink and drive and spend excess money on alcohol – money which he does not earn and which could otherwise go toward the financial well-being of the minor children,” read a portion of the statement.
In a March 6, 2024 TikTok upload, Evans shared her reasons for not yet divorcing Easton. She explained that laws in her home state of North Carolina require a year-long separation before a married couple can divorce.
“I would have skipped straight to divorce. But I couldn’t. Because in the state of North Carolina, you have to be legally separated for year,” said the “Teen Mom” star. “You have to prove that you have two separate addresses.”
“Teen Mom: The Next Chapter” season 2 begins airing on May 30.
