Evans and Eason are currently embroiled in a custody battle over 2-year-old daughter Ensley after Evans left her husband of two years, alleging mental and physical abuse in the restraining order granted by a judge covering her and all of her children, including 5-year-old son Kaiser, whom she shares with ex Nathan Griffith, and 10-year-old son Jace, who lives with her mother, Barbara, as per the custody agreement dating back to when the former Teen Mom welcomed her son with ex Andrew Lewis a decade ago.
“I’ve mostly kept off social media the past few days because I’ve been focused on making some big life decisions. I’ve lived my life on camera since I was 17 years old. And alot (sic) of it hasn’t been pretty. But its (sic) been my life,” Evans wrote on Instagram on Oct. 31 announcing the split. “Like anyone else I want what’s best for my kids and I want to be happy.”
“With time away from Teen Mom, I’ve started to look at my life differently and I know I need to make changes. I’m starting that now,” she continued. “The kids and I have moved away from David. Nobody gets into a marriage expecting it to end but I know that’s what is best for me, and for my kids. Today I’ve filed papers to start that process. I appreciate the support from everybody who has asked how I am. Me and the kids are doing great. We need some time to be together, but you’ll hear from us again soon.”
