Jenelle Evans’ most recent relationship is turning out to be just as tumultuous as her previous love affairs. Evans found herself in the arms of her “manager,” August Keen, shortly after filing for a legal separation from David Eason. While she moved her life to Las Vegas, closer to Keen, it doesn’t sound like she found a stable partner. The former Teen Mom 2 star has been spending a lot of time on social media bemoaning her current situation. She has declared herself single and insists Keen has been cheating on her. This is everything we know about their romance so far.

Evans insisted she had not moved to Vegas to be closer to Keen. Instead, she claimed that she moved to the city where Keen happened to live for “business.” Keen being in the area was merely a bonus. The move came after MTV rehired her. She appeared in Teen Mom: The Next Chapter season 2A, but her employment with the network was short-lived.

Now, however, it looks like Evans is short on business prospects and down one romantic partner. Jenelle claimed she was single on Instagram and Facebook over the weekend and followed the proclamation with a series of claims about the relationship. According to Evans, Keen was cheating on her throughout their mysterious liaison. She also claims she co-signed for the talent manager when he wanted a new car.

While Evans has been busy spilling the tea, Keen has been hard at work on Instagram, too. The Vegas-based manager used his free time to share cryptic quotes about people’s energy before switching gears toward politics. Keen and Evans no longer follow each other on social media. This is not the first time they’ve allegedly split, nor is it the first time they’ve unfollowed each other on social media. It’s unclear if the breakup will last.

When did Jenelle Evans meet August Keen?

Jenelle Evans spent months denying her romance with August Keen. She denied the affair so much that it’s almost impossible to pin down when the ill-fated couple first got together. While we don’t know when the romance began, the couple explained how they met.

According to the Ashley Reality Roundup Group, the duo charmed followers during a December 2024 TikTok Live Stream. During the event, they broke down on how they came to know each other. Keen, who claimed to be plenty rich himself, told their audience that he had managed Evans’ career for seven years before they started hooking up. He had never been mentioned by Evans prior to their hookup, though.

Over the summer, he told police during a domestic disturbance call that he and Evans had been dating for two years. The timeline doesn’t make much sense, as Evans had only moved to Vegas in May. She was also in a committed relationship with David Eason in North Carolina until February 2024. In short, we don’t know precisely how they met, when, or how long they have been dating.
