What Pregnancy? Jenelle Has Been Drinking Frequently Despite Belly Bump Photos
Sep. 10 2019, Updated 12:18 p.m. ET
Jenelle Evans got her tubes tied earlier this year. But after the fired Teen Mom 2 star showed off what appears to be a baby bump in recent outings – fans are convinced she’s adding to her brood!
On Sunday, September 1, Jenelle, 27, posted photos from a wedding with her husband, David Eason, 31. David’s daughter Maryssa, 11, from a previous marriage, Jenelle’s two sons from previous relationships, Jace, 9, and Kaiser, 5, and their daughter Ensley, 2, were all in attendance as well.
In one photo, she showed off what appeared to be a baby bump in a blue velvet dress.
“Not pregnant, just fat,” she wrote.
But the comments were flooded with fans accusing the former reality star of being pregnant.
Jenelle fueled the rumors during a New York Fashion Week event on Sunday, September 9. She appeared fuller, as she flaunted her belly in a tight gray plaid dress.
“She’s pregnant that’s clearly a bump,” one fan wrote, as a second commented, “I feel like she’s pregnant. Yes I’ve heard of a beer belly, food baby, etc… but her legs and face look swollen.”
But a source close to the Teen Mom 2 star exclusively revealed to RadarOnline.com that Jenelle has been spotted drinking alcohol recently.
“I’ve seen her in person and she just looks like she gained weight,” the source told RadarOnline.com. “She’s always drinking so I hope she’s not pregnant!”
The insider added, “She probably drank this weekend. She’s all about her Coronas!”

No More Babies!
As fans know, Jenelle got her tubes tied in April 2019.
Health Reasons
“I decided to do it because I had constant pain on my left side and I get extremely sick when pregnant,” she told E! News. “I’m also happy with the number of kids I have now.”
Medical Issues
She continued, “Being back on my regular cycle was very important for me. I was on the IUD for birth control and thinning out my lining. In the end I had my left ovary and polyps removed. They tied my right one though so I still have hormones.”
Custody Wars
Preventing a future pregnancy may have been the right call for Jenelle, as she has been battling for custody of her children.
CPS War
As RadarOnline.com readers know, Child Protective Services removed all of the children from their care after David shot and killed the family dog. The shooting also resulted in Jenelle’s firing from Teen Mom 2.
Back With Mom & Dad!
After months of testimony, a judge ‘dismissed’ the case on July 3, 2019 and the children were immediately returned to their care.
More Custody Drama!
David is also in a bitter custody war with his ex Olivia Leedham over their son Kaden, 5. According to court papers obtained by RadarOnline.com, Olivia was awarded sole legal and physical custody of Kaden in 2014. David was denied any contact with him. “The Defendant has committed acts of domestic violence on the Plaintiff during the course of the relationship and that he had endangered the life of the child by pushing Plaintiff when she was eight months pregnant and by leaving her in the middle of the road at night when she was seven months pregnant,” the court papers claimed.
Time Together
In January 2017, the parties reached an agreement in mediation that allowed David to have contact with Kaden on an incremental basis. He received every-other-weekend custody of Kaden beginning in January 2018.
Mom Wins!
David’s supervision was suspended in November 2018 when Kaden “began displaying a series of alarming behaviors related to visitation with the Defendant.” Olivia was granted sole legal and physical custody of their son Kaden on June 29, 2019.
Fight Against David
Olivia started a GoFundMe page asking for donations to help pay legal bills. The case is to be reviewed in 8 months to determine if expanded visitation would be safe and in Kaden’s best interests, which could explain why Olivia is asking for financial help.
