Jenelle Evans is setting the record straight after social media went into overdrive speculating about her son Jace. The Teen Mom alum took to social media to confirm that Jace is living with his grandmother, Barbara, and that the arrangement was made by mutual agreement.“Jace is back at my mom’s at the moment and isn’t coming to live with me because my mother and I have mutually agreed upon his living situation and circumstances,”she shared.
Fans have followed Jenelle’s relationship with Jace for years, so it’s no surprise the rumor mill started spinning. But Jenelle was quick to shut down one theory in particular: that her ex, David Eason, had anything to do with this.“This has nothing to do with David at all. Jace wants to be around his friends and is now working at his job again that he once had,”she explained. Jace recently turned 17 and has been focusing on his emotional well-being after leaving a care facility.
The deeper layer here is Jenelle’s own health. She’s been dealing with knee problems and was diagnosed with CRPS, a chronic pain condition that has made traveling difficult. So while some fans might be quick to judge, the reality is that this decision was made with Jace’s best interests and Jenelle’s physical limits in mind. It’s a messy, human situation that many families can relate to. What do you think about grandparents stepping in when a parent is struggling? Let us know in the comments.
