'Teen Mom' Star Jenelle Evans Reveals How She Is 'Staying Busy' In Her New Era

Jenelle Evans is diving headfirst into a fresh start, trading reality TV drama for building something of her own in the entertainment world.

The reality star made waves earlier when she shared her plans to celebrate her split from David Eason with a divorce party at a New York City strip club. 

Jenelle Evans tied the knot with David Eason in 2017 but filed for separation in 2024 after six years of marriage.

After years of living under the spotlight, Evans is carving out a new path, one that is behind the camera. These days, she is pouring her energy into a mix of creative ventures, including producing TV projects, developing original content, and even giving acting a shot.

"I'm actually taking acting classes, too, so I'm really looking forward to seeing where that takes me,' she shared. According to In Touch, she also plans to keep her plate full with other things, like a podcast. In her words to the media outlet:

"I'm also working on a cannabis brand I mentioned last year, so that's still in the works. And I'm focused on working behind the scenes in TV, rather than always being in front of the camera. So I have a lot of different projects lined up and I'm really glad I'm staying busy."

Before diving into new creative ventures, Evans made a bold statement about where she stood after ending her rocky marriage to Eason. The 33-year-old plans to throw a divorce party at Spearmint Rhino Gentlemen's Club in New York City, an event she titled "I Do, I Did, I'm Done."

The Blast reported that Evans does not just see the event as a night out; it symbolizes her reclaiming her life. "This divorce is my official reset button, and I'm throwing a massive celebration to mark the start of me finally living life on my own terms," she noted. 

Evans also aligned her message with the club's own vibe. "Spearmint Rhino New York City celebrates strong, beautiful, independent women who take control of their story, just like I am. This isn't just a party, it's my power move!" she explained.

While Evans had big plans for a new chapter, her divorce hit a legal snag that might have left her frustrated. Earlier this year, her divorce case was dismissed in a North Carolina court, and things got more complicated after she accused Eason of showing up uninvited on her property.

The Columbus County Sheriff's Office looked into her complaint but ultimately cleared Eason. As reported, officers found no evidence that anything had been taken or any court orders violated.

Eason had reportedly arranged a civil standby, an approved method where police oversee the collection of personal items to avoid conflict. Nevertheless, Evans was unhappy with the outcome.

A rep for the TV star claimed the court order made it clear that Eason was not allowed on the property under any circumstances, even if she was not home.

Evans and Eason's divorce has been anything but smooth, with tensions escalating through accusations and court orders. One example would be when the mother-of-three alleged that Eason, accompanied by his girlfriend and three other men, showed up uninvited at her North Carolina home one night. 

She claimed the group cut through a locked gate, opened her garage, and began loading her dirt bikes and ATVs onto a trailer. That was not the first time Evans sought legal protection. In May 2024, she was granted a domestic violence protective order against Eason.

The court order restricted him from discussing her or their kids online, banned unsupervised contact, and blocked him from visiting their schools without supervision.

Evans may be navigating a messy split from Eason, but she has not lost all her connections. In an unexpected turn, she and former rival Abraham decided to move past their drama and reconnect.

The two "Teen Mom" alums were seen sharing a meal in Las Vegas, putting an end to a three-year feud filled with tensions. The Blast reported that their reconciliation followed major life changes, including Evans' separation and both women's efforts to heal from personal struggles.

Their dinner took place at Lucia, a popular Vegas restaurant, and was not just a one-on-one. Fellow castmate Ashley Jones, once another foe of Abraham, also joined the table, signaling a broader truce.

Jenelle Evans is confidently embracing her new chapter, turning her divorce into a chance to build a future on her own terms.
