Teen Mom star Jenelle Evans’ dating life has been a subject of intense public interest. She had a tumultuous separation from ex-husband David Eason in 2024. Since relocating to Las Vegas with her children, Evans has faced a series of personal challenges, including allegations of assault involving her ex-boyfriend, August Keen, and a subsequent investigation by Child Protective Services. Despite the controversies, Evans is back in the spotlight after a fantastic first date. Here’s what she posted to TikTok LIVE that has fans talking.

‘Teen Mom’ star Jenelle Evans says the new man she met online is a ‘real winner’

Teen Mom star Jenelle Evans is known for her troubled romantic relationships. Her most notable romance has been with David Eason, whom she married in 2017. Their union was anything but quiet, drawing criticism and concern due to frequent legal troubles, online feuds, and allegations of domestic disputes. The couple separated in 2019, briefly reconciled, and then made headlines again with another split in 2024.

Between her years with Eason, Jenelle has dated several other men, including Nathan Griffith, the father of her son, Kaiser. Their relationship, too, was turbulent and plagued by custody battles and restraining orders. Most recently, Jenelle’s short-lived relationship with August Keen ended in controversy, with reports of a domestic incident and a CPS investigation making headlines.

In April 2025, Jenelle took to TikTok LIVE to tell fans she met a new man on Bumble. Before the date, she posted a TikTok showing her in a denim dress ready to go out. According to Reddit users who saw the live stream, the man is 36, lives near Las Vegas, and doesn’t have social media and has never had it. “He’s a real winner,” Jenelle exclaimed — though fans are skeptical.

“She has never picked her men right, so I’m sure this isn’t different than the others,” a fan wrote.

“How embarrassing to go on one date and vlog about it,” another fan noted.

“I’m almost 99% sure she said something VERY similar when she started talking to David,” a fan on a separate thread wrote. “She said he was the first REAL man she has been with, he has a job, etc., and look what happened.”

Jenelle Evans Says Cheating Was The ‘Final Straw’ In Her Relationship with David Eason

Jenelle Evans’ brief relationship with her talent manager, August Keen, added another twist to her headline-filled romantic history. After her rocky split from David Eason, Jenelle appeared to be moving on with August, stepping into a new chapter in Las Vegas. The couple was seen together on social media and at various events. August, who kept a relatively low profile before the relationship, quickly found himself thrust into the spotlight.

However, the relationship took a dark turn when an alleged domestic incident between the two made headlines in early 2025. Reports emerged that Jenelle had filed a police report accusing August of assault during a heated argument at her Las Vegas home. Additionally, Jenelle accused August of having another girlfriend.

“I’ve never been in a weirder relationship in my life, I swear,” Jenelle said in a series of videos, according to The Ashley’s Reality Roundup. She went on to describe how she discovered he was still talking to his ex. Jenelle also recounted their drunken escapades.

“We started drinking together,” she said. “We would go out like every other weekend, and that is when things turned for the worst. He turns into a different person when he drinks.” While the couple would get into screaming matches, Jenelle maintained that it never happened in front of her children.

The ‘Teen Mom’ star might not stay in her current residence for long

Jenelle Evans moved to Las Vegas toward the end of 2024 — and she’s already planning to move out of her current residence. Reddit users reposted a clip from social media in December 2024 that shows Jenelle talking about her future plans. The Teen Mom star said she intends to work on her credit so she can buy a house.

“I’m not trying to fill this house up too much because I know I’m going to move soon,” she said. “I don’t want more to move.”

It’s unclear if Jenelle plans to stay in Vegas or buy a home elsewhere. Some fans guessed she would leave after she and August Keen broke up. However, if she’s currently dating in Vegas, she may have more long-term plans to reside in the city.
