‘Teen Mom’ Alum Jenelle Evans’ Son Jace Evans Is an Independent Teen: His Transformation in Photos

Just months after Teen Mom 2 alum Jenelle Evans was granted full custody of her eldest son, Jace Evans, the former reality star dealt with an angsty teenager.

The 14-year-old – whom Jenelle welcomed in August 2009 during her appearance on 16 & Pregnant – was reported missing twice in one month in August 2023. The drama continued when he was reported missing for a third time in September 2023, while In Touch exclusively confirmed he was hospitalized following the disappearance.

After he accused stepfather David Eason of “abuse,” Jace was placed in Barbara Evans’ custody. David was indicted on misdemeanor child abuse in January 2024, while the teen ran away from his grandmother’s in November 2023 and was placed in Child Protective Services (CPS) care.

Despite the drama, Jenelle confirmed that CPS dropped its case against her and David in February 2024.
