The Real Reason Why Jenelle Evans' Son Jace Now Lives With Her Full-Time

As longtime TM2 viewers know, Jenelle Evans has had her fair share of legal troubles and dangerous relationships. Fans saw the reality star deal with a heroin addiction, domestic violence, general instability, and frequent verbal altercations with her mom. And it was for all of these reasons — or any of them, at any given time — that Barbara refused to allow Jace to live with Jenelle. What changed in 2021?

According to Jenelle, Jace, now 11, was "misbehaving" too much over at his grandmother's.

"His behavior wasn't the best at my mom's house," she explained in the video, letting viewers know that Jace was aware she was talking about the situation on-camera. "We gave him many, many, many chances and told him he better behave, and my mom, she was fed up. ... And she called me and she said, 'Yeah, that's it. He's misbehaving again. I don't know how he's going to do his schoolwork and pass if he keeps it up.'"

As a source told The Ashley's Reality Roundup, Barbara's decision to let Jace live with Jenelle "has way more to do with Jace than Jenelle."

"Barbara can't handle Jace anymore. They had been getting into really bad fights and Barbara is just done with it," they explained. "That's why she agreed to allow Jace to live with Jenelle. Things had gotten so bad between Barbara and Jace."
