FORMER Teen Mom 2 stars Jenelle Evans and David Eason were caught holding hands and hugging after The Sun exclusively reported the couple was back together following a brief split.
The father of three was arrested last weekend after he “assaulted her friend”, and furious Jenelle announced she was leaving him.
Just days after her vow to ditch her husband, Jenelle, 28, took a walk with David, 31, and their puppy near their North Carolina home on Thursday.
Seemingly not thinking of his latest arrest, the mom of three held her husband around the waist.
The two were then spotted talking very closely as their dog explored the park.
Jenelle flaunted her full figure as she wore a green top and jeans with a high ponytail.
David wore a dark tee-shirt and jeans with his signature beard.
The Sun was first to report that the former MTV reality star had “taken her husband back.”
Jenelle’s friend James Spivey- who was David’s alleged victim in the fight- told The Sun: “She’s claiming she’s with relatives, but it’s the opposite. She’s staying at the property. They’re back together.
“She made it very clear she doesn’t want to be alone. She doesn’t want to live on the property alone.”
Her decision to reconcile led her friends and family to worry that David could harm her or the kids in another violent fit.
James said: “I feel like something bad is going to happen. Someone is going to get hurt on that property.”
This is the first the two have been spotted following an alleged violent altercation between David and James, one of Jenelle’s friends.
According to sources, James, Jenelle, and another friend went over to the home she shares with David to pick up her things when a fight broke out.
David “unlawfully and willfully did assault” James “with a deadly weapon, a Springfield handgun, by hitting [the alleged victim] in the back of the neck and on his back with the handgun,” an arrest warrant obtained by The Sun alleged.
The warrant also claimed David “unlawfully and willfully did threaten to physically injure the person.”
David allegedly threatened: “I will blow your f**king brains out.”
The warrant continued: “The threat was made in a manner and under circumstances which would cause a reasonable person to believe that the threat was likely to be carried out and the person threatened believed that the threat would be carried out.”
At the time of the incident, Jenelle told Celebernation: “I’m shaking and saddened by this, it’s time for me to move on from this relationship and find happiness for my kids and myself elsewhere.”
She insisted she and her kids were not hurt.
She said of David posting bail: “I’m upset how everything ended up and wish the situation was taken in a more serious manner, I didn’t agree with the unsecured bond.”
Jenelle wrote on Facebook: “I just want to let the public, tabloids, and my fans know that I’M OK, I’M SAFE AND SO ARE THE KIDS!
“I’m going to take a few days out to myself to gather my thoughts and focus on what’s going on so I won’t be on social media much.
“I love you all for the support that you all have shown me and I’ll be stronger and better than ever soon!”
Despite the kids not being hurt, they, unfortunately, witnessed the incident.
A source close to the situation told The Sun exclusively that the couple’s daughter, Ensley, 3, “witnessed” the altercation, as well as Jenelle’s son Kaiser, 5, from a previous relationship and David’s daughter Maryssa, 12, from a prior marriage.
The insider claimed: “The kids witnessed the altercation, they were crying. They saw David hit James with the gun. When he hit him in the back, if that gun went off, his kids would’ve been in jeopardy. The kids would’ve been dead.
“CPS needs to be involved. The kids need to be protected.”
Following his arrest, David hit back at James as he filed a criminal summons for assault with a deadly weapon.
The summons obtained by The Sun claimed James “did assault David Martin Eason with a deadly weapon, a homemade forged coat rack, by pushing the victim and by striking the victim about the left arm with a coat rack made of wood and forged metal (railroad spikes.)”
David has the alleged weapon photographed on his Instagram, as something he made.
The arrest comes after the couple got into a social media fight last week.
David claimed Jenelle “deserted” him for her “drug addict” pal.
The two then unfollowed each other on social media.
Jenelle and David’s relationship has been tumultuous over the years.
In October 2019, Jenelle announced her split from David after two years of marriage.
She moved to Nashville with their daughter Ensley, 3, and her son Kaiser, 5, from a previous relationship.
The JE Cosmetics owner then filed a restraining order request against David and claimed he was “abusive” and “violent” throughout their marriage by detailing 11 alleged incidents of abuse.
She wrote in the order that she was “scared” for her life and for the “well-being” of her children.
But only months later, she dropped the restraining order and Jenelle moved into their North Carolina home.
She explained in a video in March: “Me and him are deciding to work this out right now. We’re taking it slowly.”
The former reality star explained their relationship is “going pretty smoothly.”
She captioned a photo of the couple in May: “I don’t care what they say, I love you no matter what. Here’s to new beginnings. #MarriedLife #HappyWifeHappyLife.”

In April 2019, David admitted to shooting and killing the family dog for nipping at Ensley.
The shooting resulted in Jenelle’s firing from Teen Mom 2 in May 2019.
Child Protective Services also removed their children from their care.
The children were returned in July 2019 after a series of court hearings.
