It’s been less than two years since Jenelle Evans moved to Las Vegas from North Carolina.
But now, Jenelle has once again demonstrated her love for New Jersey’s budget-friendly family vacation destinations by moving to Florida.
Yes, the problematic ones teen mom 2 The star confirmed the move in a recent Instagram video.
And according to Jenelle, the decision to leave Nevada was driven by a desire to start over and change lifestyle.
“I’m a Florida girl now. You probably saw on the Internet that I moved from Las Vegas to Florida,” Jenelle stated in the video.
“A lot of the main reasons I… moved to Florida is because I have my diving license and I love snorkeling.
“I’ve been to Florida, I don’t know, more than 15 times in my life. I’ve been to Saint Thomas like five times. So, really, Florida gives me Saint Thomas vibes,” Ms. Evans continued (via Ashley’s Reality Summary).
“I also wanted my kids to grow up around it, like I did in North Carolina, because I grew up on Oak Island for a long time,” he continued. “I definitely wanted them to be swimming with dolphins, swimming with manatees…”
But it’s not just the movement itself that draws attention. He’s the one who helped her make it happen.
David Eason, the ex-husband she spent years publicly accusing of abuse and the man she once filed a restraining order against, was seen helping her pack her bags and move across the country.
Jenelle tried to explain that too.
Jenelle is still in a wheelchair after a mysterious injury, and says David was simply hired to help with the move and was helping out as a co-parent. She insisted her involvement was more practical than romantic and played down suggestions that the couple had fully reconciled.
“One thing I do want to mention that everyone asks me and mentions is, ‘Oh my God, I saw her all over TMZ with her ex. Oh my God, he was at her house!'” Jenelle continued, adding:
“My knee is still out of commission. I’m still in a wheelchair,” Jenelle explained. “…long story short, I can’t pack alone. Do you think I’m going to limp around and pack up my entire house? No. So, I hired a moving company and I hired David.”
This is the same David who Jenelle accused in court of possessing material related to the sexual exploitation of a minor, allegations she made under oath in 2024. David has never been charged in connection with those allegations.
This is also the same David who faced felony child abuse charges related to allegations involving Jenelle’s son, Jace.
So when Jenelle says she was simply acting as a moving helper, critics have questions.
While Jenelle says the move was her choice, online observers have theorized that other factors may have played a role, including housing issues and ongoing family complications.
Meanwhile, the move has already created tension with at least one former friend.
teen mom Alum Briana DeJesus recently made it clear that she has no plans to rekindle her friendship with Jenelle, citing concerns about David’s presence in her life.
At this point, Jenelle continues to insist that everything is fine.
But given her history with David, and the very serious accusations she’s made against him in the past, many fans remain skeptical.
