The outlet reported that David Eason’s relationship with Jenelle Evans dates back to around 10 years ago, in 2015.

The pair’s romance was also featured on Teen Mom, and they welcomed a child named Ensley a few months before getting married in 2017.

According to Us Weekly, the duo split in February last year, and Jenelle mentioned in the legal documents that David reportedly displayed disturbing behavior when they were together.

Around two years before he got romantically linked to Jenelle, David and his ex-girlfriend Olivia Leedham became the parents of a son named Kaden.
