Jenelle Evans is offering more details on why the 11-year-old son Jace now he’s staying with her and not with her mother, Barbara Evans.
After revealing on TikTok on Saturday, January 16 that Jace “now lives with me full time”, Jenelle shared a video with her Youtube page on January 17 to explain that the boy’s actions spurred the change of residence.
“Jace came and lived with us, guys! I know, it’s exciting news,” Teen mom 2 shared alum. “His behavior was not the best in my mother’s house. We gave him many, many, many chances and told him it was better to behave, and my mother, she was fed up.”
Jenelle continued, “And she called me and said, ‘Yes, that’s it. He’s behaving badly again. I don’t know how he’s going to do the schoolwork and do it if he continues.’
The 29-year-old reality show star also used the video to clear up the recent confusion over Jace’s custody situation. On January 17, Barbara told TMZ that she still has custody herself and that Jenelle admitted to Barbara that she spoke badly on TikTok when she said otherwise.

“So let me explain that,” said Jenelle in the YouTube video. “My mom and I shared custody until we went to court and changed the paperwork. But now, Jace is living full-time with me. And that’s because of his behavior, and my mom can’t handle it anymore.”
Jenelle continued to point out that she had informed Jace that she would be sharing this update with her fans, and he approved.
“Yes, Jace knows I’m posting this and we discussed it,” added the mother of three. “And he said, ‘It’s okay if you tell people that. Just, please don’t go into details. ‘ And I respect that. “
