Jenelle Evans returns to ‘Teen Mom’ 5 years after being fired from MTV

The rumors are true.

Jenelle Evans returns to her highly anticipated reality series in the upcoming second season of “Teen Mom: The Next Chapter,” as seen in an exclusive preview from Page Six.

When the 32-year-old wears a brown suit, the clip announces her “mommy” return to the documentary series.

“I think it will be good to start over,” he says.

According to an MTV press release, Evans – who was fired from the series five years ago due to her relationship with her now-estranged husband, David Eason – has not filmed another “Teen Mom” ​​installment as a full-time cast member.

On the contrary, she will make a “special” appearance in Season 2, revealing the early stages of her split from Eason while making “life-changing” moves.

The network’s announcement comes a week after Evans sparked speculation of “Teen Mom” ​​retaliation after reuniting with veteran cast member Briana Dejesus in her home state of Florida.

In a photo obtained exclusively by Page Six, the ladies can be seen walking together in casual outfits during production of the long-running, unscripted hit.

Evans’ breakup with Eason, 35, apparently created space for her to re-enter the “Teen Mom” ​​universe. She was fired by MTV in 2019 after he shot their family dog.

The network had severed ties with Eason a year earlier after he published a barrage of homophobic and transphobic tweets.

In March, Evans revealed that she was separated from Eason, with whom she has a 7-year-old daughter, Ensley post on TikTok with the soundtrack of Lady Gaga’s 2013 single “Applause”.

“Can I count on recognition? “I have filed for separation,” she wrote at the time, adding the caption, “A new chapter unlocked 🔒✨,” perhaps hinting at her new role in “Teen Mom: The Next Chapter.”

The mum-of-three – who also has son Jace, 14, with ex Andrew Lewis and son Kaiser, 9, with ex-fiancée Nathan Griffith – explained in another post that she had to file for separation before divorcing because she lives in North Carolina, where couples must be legally separated for one year and have two different addresses before proceedings can begin.

Evans made a solo appearance on “Teen Mom: The Next Chapter” — which combined “Teen Mom OG” and “Teen Mom 2” — in the 2022 season opener, during which she attended a party thrown by her pal Dejesus, 29 .).

Around this time, the MTV stalwart, who appeared on the second season of “16 and Pregnant” in 2010 before finding fame on the spinoff “TM2,” was asked to return to the series, though she declined.

According to Evans’ manager, MTV wanted to sign the star to an exclusive contract that would “limit other career opportunities” for her – including “a dynamic new series in the works,” which was apparently turned down.

Last year, Evans’ former co-star Leah Messer told Page Six that she would love to have her back on the show — even if the women have drifted apart in recent years.

“I think I can’t wait to see where she is in her life and what the directors ultimately decide. I wish her all the best,” she said.

In addition to Evans’ return, “Teen Mom” ​​alum Mackenzie McKee also rejoins the cast of “The Next Chapter” season two.

Meanwhile, Dejesus, Messer, Catelynn Lowell, Jade Cline, Cheyenne Floyd, Ashley Jones, Maci Bookout and Amber Portwood return.

Season two of “Teen Mom: The Next Chapter” premieres on Monday, May 30 at 8 p.m. ET on MTV.
