(previously Rogers)
On December 4, 2012, Jenelle married Courtland Rogers. The couple got engaged in November 2012 and were expecting her second child. Jenelle stated that she missed a few days of taking her birth control pills and was notified of the pregnancy while at a doctors appointment. It was announced on January 25, 2013, that she and Courtland had split and that she had suffered a miscarriage. Despite reports of a miscarriage, it was later revealed in the fifth season that Jenelle chose to abort her pregnancy and divorced Courtland after a short marriage.
In June 2013, Jenelle started dating Nathan Griffith, a former model whom she met on Tinder. Within months of dating, they quickly moved in together and she became pregnant with their first child. Nathan has a daughter named Emery, who is from a previous relationship. On June 30, 2014, she gave birth to her second child, a son named Kaiser Orion Griffith. In January 2015, Jenelle and Nathan got engaged. However, they broke off their engagement in August of the same year. After their break-up, the former couple became engaged in a custody battle over Kaiser. In January 2017, Jenelle and Nathan reached a joint custody agreement in court, where Nathan would have Kaiser on the first weekend and the last two weekends of every month (Thursday-Sunday).
In September 2015, Jenelle started dating David Eason, a pipewelder whom she met on Tinder. Shortly after, they moved in together. David has two children from previous relationships; daughter Maryssa Rose and son Kaden David. David does not have custody of Kaden, as his ex (the child's mother) was granted a no contact order against him following allegations of domestic violence. Jenelle gave birth to their first child together, a daughter named Ensley Jolie Eason, on January 24, 2017. In February 2017, Jenelle announced on Instagram that she and David are engaged.
