Jenelle Evans is happy to report her relationship with mom Barbara Evans is in a drama-free space.
“[Things are] good,” Jenelle, 33, exclusively shared with Us Weekly before hosting her “I Do, I Did, I’m Done”
When asked if it’s good to have some distance, the former
Jenelle later confirmed the mother-daughter duo have figured out what works for the two of them after years of ups and downs.
Fans first met Jenelle and Barbara when they appeared on MTV’s 16 and Pregnant in 2009. Cameras would continue to role on the family as Jenelle appeared on Teen Mom 2
from 2011 to 2019.
Although she has made guest appearances in the franchise since her exit, Jenelle said she’s enjoying time away from reality TV cameras.
“I’m glad that I’m having this break to reorganize my brain and figure out where I’m at in life and what I want to do next,” she explained to
In May, Teen Mom: The Next Chapter
aired its season 2 finale. MTV has yet to confirm a new season is coming soon.
When asked about the future of the franchise, Jenelle believes “everyone needs to take a break.”
“I think having a spinoff with the kids is probably pushing it a little bit too far at the moment because they’re minors,” she explained. “Ultimately, it was up to our parents, and I feel like that you should be able to make that decision for yourself, but you can’t until you’re 18.”
Looking back on her experience with 16 and Pregnant, Jenelle said she submitted herself for the show.
While she has since had many highs and lows living in the public eye, the reality star knows exactly what she would tell her younger self.“I would say, ‘Hang in there and everything’s going to be OK,’” she said. “I didn’t know where I was going to be in the future, and I was so worried and scared how my life would turn out when I was in all that trouble back then when I was a teenager.”
Now, as she prepares to celebrate her divorce from David Eason being finalized, Evans is ready to start living life on her own terms.
“I am closing a toxic chapter in my life. I’m opening a new one fresh, and I just want to celebrate being free,” she explained. “I just feel like this is just going to be the next big chapter of [my] life.”
The Young and the Restless (Y&R) recap for Thursday, November 13, reveals that Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) will seduce Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) while Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) gets targeted for some launch party humiliation.
At Society, Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) will taunt Cane over Arabesque turning to ashes, but Cane will act like Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) did him a favor and deserves his gratitude.
Cane will suggest that losing everything could be a chance to reset his priorities and focus on his family.
After Phyllis dodges Daniel Romalotti’s (Michael Graziadei) Cane-related questions at Crimson Lights, she’ll head to Society as well.
Phyllis will once again deny stealing the AI program, but Cane will point out that his tech team is on it and even the best hacker in the world will leave behind a breadcrumb.
However, Cane will also acknowledge that losing everything could help him make amends with Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) and his kids.
When Cane seeks Phyllis’ help, she’ll agree to pitch in when it comes to the twins, but she’ll think it’s a lost cause to fight for Lily.
Phyllis will push Cane to let Lily go and perhaps see that what he wants is right in front of him.
Cane will question what Phyllis means, so she’ll note that there are other women who don’t judge him for his past and appreciate who he is now.
Cane will admit that if he didn’t know any better, he’d think Phyllis was trying to seduce him.
Back with Daniel, he’ll comfort Tessa Porter (Cait Fairbanks) when she enters the coffeehouse and bursts into tears.
Tessa will be upset over Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes) turning down her latest visit and refusing to take her calls.
Daniel will eventually head to the park with Tessa and point out that this is part of Mariah’s treatment, but Tessa will still feel like Mariah is choosing to shut her out.
Since Tessa can’t keep signing up for more rejection, she’ll feel like the only path forward may be a messy divorce.
At the GCAC, Pietro (Jai Rodriguez) the wedding planner will meet with Christine Blair (Lauralee Bell) and Danny Romalotti (Michael Damian) to discuss how he can make their vision for their big day a reality.
Although Pietro will have all kinds of wild rockstar ideas, Christine will convince him to keep things simple and elegant.
After Pietro exits on Thursday’s Y&R episode, Danny will pull out a dessert box and acknowledge that they haven’t settled on a wedding cake yet.
Danny will suggest a doughnut tree instead since Christine loves powdered doughnuts, so she’ll get on board as they sample.
Once Daniel and Tessa pop up, they’ll share some doughnuts before Danny and Christine exit.
Daniel will mention that he’s already going to escort Lucy Romalotti (Lily Brooks O’Briant) to the wedding, but he’ll wonder how Tessa would feel about being his date.
Back with Adam, he’ll join Victor at the ranch, where he’ll share his idea to distract the Abbotts.
Adam will plan to figure out who Billy’s new mystery investor is and convince them to pull the funding for Abbott Communications.
From there, Adam will want to give Billy updates on the bad news at the launch party and totally humiliate him.
Victor will approve and suggest that while this is happening, he can focus on going after Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman).
The Young and the Restless spoilers say another storm could be brewing for Billy thanks to the Newmans’ scheme, so stay tuned.
