Jenelle Evansis clarifying her relationship with ex David Eason and giving an update on her teenage son Jace.
TheTeen Momalum, 34, appeared on theLa Femme Talkpodcast and spoke with Dr. Rachel Mason about her relationship with ex-husband David Eason. Evans shared that even though the two have been spotted together recently, they are prioritizing co-parenting rather than a romantic relationship.
"I think right now I'm just focusing on co-parenting right now with all my exes and just try[ing] to make things as civil as possible," Evans said on the podcast. "And if that means my daughter seeing us getting along together, going out to have lunch [or] dinners, I mean, that's fine with me. As long as we can all get along, you know?"

"Coming from my past, there's a lot of toxicity, and for my kids to now see a new turned leaf, it's just...it's happy," added Evans.
Evans shares daughter Ensley, 9, with Eason. She is also mom to sons Jace, 16, and Kaiser, 11, from previous relationships. Later in the conversation with Dr. Mason, Evans was asked about where she is currently in her romantic life.
"I think now, back to co-parenting...I think that's the most important thing, for right now," she said. "Because again, in my past it was a lot that [my kids] witnessed and saw, and we're all trying to move past that, and we're all trying to create new memories."
Earlier this month, Evans took to X to push back on rumors that she was romantically involved with Eason again afterTMZ published photosof them spending time with two of her kids in Las Vegas on Easter weekend.

"Just because I am co-parenting, doesn't mean I'm in trouble in any way," Evans wrote in reference to the photos in apost on X. "Sorry to burst your bubble everyone."
She later replied to someone who referenced her custody battle with son Jace. "I'm sorry my daughter is allowed to see her father," wrote Evanson X. "Everyone knows this but you apparently."
Back in the podcast, Evans was asked for an update on her son Jace, who recently entered amental health facilityafter allegedly pulling a gun on his grandmother.TMZwas first to report the news.
"Yeah, so I'll let you know something that I haven't told anyone. I actually, behind the scenes, you know I've been very quiet online," said Evans. "And behind the scenes, I've been actually getting help for my son as needed, and he's in a safe place [in a] holistic approach. And he's very happy right now, and he's very focused on himself. And I think that's the most important thing."
"A lot of people, they think since I'm being so quiet that I might not be doing anything and not taking action," she continued. "But just know that if I'm quiet, I'm up to something."
After news broke that Jace was in a mental health facility, Evan's mom Barbara Evans filed a motion for emergency child custody and a motion to modify child custody on March 11 for Jace.
Barbara also filed an ex parte order on March 12. An ex parte order is a temporary, emergency order by a judge at the request of one party without notice or participation from the other party.
