Restraining Order
Soon after Evans announced the split on social media, a judge approved a temporary restraining order against Eason after Evans provided documents with multiple claims of verbal and physical abuse.
The order kept Eason from contacting Evans and her children. He is also supposed to not talk about her on social media, though he has continued to comment about herย on Facebook and Instagram.
Move to Nashville
Evans and her children 5-year-old Kaiser, whom she shares with ex Nathan Giffith;ย and 2-year-old Ensley,ย whom she shares with Eason, relocated to Nashville, Tennessee. Reports surfaced claiming the kids are loving their new surrounding, and that Evans seems happier ever since leaving her husband.
Court Time
