TEEN Mom star, Jenelle Evans, is not on speaking terms with her mother, Barbara.
The two made headlines over their very public custody battle for Jenelle’s son, Jace.
Who is Jenelle Evans’ mom Barbara Evans?
Barbara Evans, 68, mother of MTV star, Jenelle Evans, has been retired for a couple of years now.
She was married to Robert Evans from 1984 to 1996.
Barbara reportedly worked at Walmart for nearly 12 years before officially saying goodbye to the company.
Barbara used to have primary physical and legal custody of Jace, 12, as Jenelle has visitation with him every other weekend, after she signed over custody of her son to her mother in June 2010.
In North Carolina court papers, which were first obtained by The Sun, Jenelle filed for sole custody of her troubled son on January 28, 2021.
Things between her and Barbara started heating up in January 2021, as Jenelle filed an emergency petition for custody of her son.
Jenelle told The Sun in 2021 that the fight with her mother Barbara over custody of her son, Jace, has left their relationship broken beyond repair.
Does Jenelle have custody over her son?
In an exclusive 2021 interview, the former MTV star told The Sun that the legal battle over her oldest son, who fans watched grow up on the show, has broken any chance of reconciling with her mom.
“Things have been pretty rocky at her house with Jace for the past two years.
“There hasn’t been a major change. We agreed for Jace to live with me and she took back her word like a week later.”
The mother of three says Jace has had behavioral issues while living with Barbara.
As The Sun previously reported, Jace allegedly started fires while in Barbara’s care.
As of June 2021, only one week before the motion for custody filing, Jenelle revealed she regained custody of Jace.
She said in a TikTok video: “I have custody of Jace. He lives with me now full-time. My kids are happy, they’re healthy.”

Back in early 2021 Jenelle said she will probably not ever repair her relationship with her mother, “but if I do get custody I will continue to let Jace have a relationship with her.”
“They’ve been together for such a long time, and I don’t want to be petty and be petty against Jace just because I have something against my mom.”
Who is Jenelle Evans?
In 2009, Jenelle Evans, 30, was cast on Sixteen and Pregnant at the age of 17.

The couple are raising their two children, Ensley, 5, Kaiser, 7, and Evans’ son Jace, 13.
What is Jenelle Evans’ net worth?
Janelle’s net worth is estimated to be nearly $30thousand, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
She started her own podcast, titled The Jenelle Evans Podcast, in July 2021.
Teen Mom 2 alum lives in a humble North Carolina property that she built with her husband, David Eason.
