Reality TV personality Jenelle Evans is reportedly making plans to see her son, Jace Evans, while he continues receiving care at a mental health facility. Although the visit hasn’t happened yet, sources close to the situation say the former reality star is actively planning a trip that will include time with her son as he focuses on his recovery.
According to people familiar with the situation, Jenelle has not yet seen Jace face-to-face since he entered the treatment center. However, that doesn’t mean she has been absent from his life. Insiders say she has been maintaining regular communication with him while he undergoes treatment. The planned in-person visit is expected to take place during an upcoming family trip to the Carolinas that she has scheduled for spring break with her other children.
Jenelle currently resides in Las Vegas, which has made immediate travel more complicated. Even so, those close to her say she has been doing what she can from afar to stay connected and informed about her son’s well-being. The trip to the Carolinas will give her the opportunity not only to spend time with family but also to see Jace during what has been described as a challenging period for him.
In the meantime, Jace’s grandmother, Barbara Evans, has been playing a major role in supporting him. Barbara, who Jace has been living with for some time, has reportedly been visiting him regularly at the facility. Sources say she has been making frequent trips to check on him and provide emotional support while he continues his treatment.
People close to the family say the situation has required a great deal of coordination. Jenelle reportedly spent nearly a week making calls and working with professionals involved in Jace’s care to ensure he was placed in the appropriate program and receiving the support he needs. Despite the complicated family history that has often played out publicly over the years, the current focus appears to be on Jace’s health and stability.
Interestingly, Jenelle has also been receiving support from her ex-husband, David Eason. While their relationship has been turbulent in the past, insiders say the two are currently on good terms and have been communicating during this difficult time. Sources suggest that Eason has been offering emotional support and helping Jenelle navigate the situation as she works to ensure her son gets proper care.
Jace’s stay at the mental health facility follows a concerning incident that occurred last month at Barbara Evans’ home in North Carolina. Law enforcement officers were called to the residence on February 22 after reports of what was described as a “troubled teen disturbance.” According to authorities, multiple officers responded to the scene to handle the situation.
Details about the exact nature of the disturbance have not been widely shared, but the event appears to have been serious enough to lead to the decision that Jace needed professional help. Soon after the incident, arrangements were made for him to enter a mental health facility where he could receive structured care and support.
Those close to the family say the decision to seek professional treatment was made with Jace’s best interests in mind. Mental health professionals are now working with him, and the family hopes the environment will help him regain stability and focus on healing.
At this point, it’s still unclear how long Jace will remain at the treatment center. Sources say there is no firm timeline for his release, as mental health programs typically depend on the progress of the individual patient. For now, the priority remains ensuring he receives the time and resources necessary to improve his well-being.
Despite the uncertainty, people familiar with the situation say the family is trying to stay optimistic. Both Jenelle and Barbara are reportedly committed to supporting Jace through this process, even if that support looks different for each of them due to distance and circumstances.
Jenelle’s upcoming trip to the Carolinas is expected to be an important moment for the family. If the visit goes as planned, it will mark the first time she has seen Jace in person since he began treatment. Sources say she hopes the meeting will provide encouragement and show him that he still has strong family support during a difficult chapter in his life.
For now, the family’s main focus remains on Jace’s health, recovery, and long-term stability. Those close to the situation say everyone involved understands that mental health treatment can take time, and they are prioritizing patience and care as he works through the process.
While the road ahead may still hold challenges, the family appears determined to put Jace’s needs first as he continues receiving professional help and support.
