Jenelle & Nathan Griffith: We’re BFFs Now That David’s Out of the Picture!

It’s been one strange development after another in the weeks since Teen Mom 2 terror Jenelle Evans filed for divorce from David Eason.

Some of the news – such as David’s social media meltdown – was easy to predict.

But other occurrences – such as the burgeoning friendship between Jenelle and ex-fiance Nathan Griffith – well, they serve as a reminder that you never know what’s around the bend when Jenelle is involved.

Yes, believe it or not, after years of denigrarting one another in social media tirades and family court testimony, Jenelle and Nathan have buried the hatchet.

And now they say the bad blood between them was all David’s fault.

Take a look at the latest twist in the never-ending saga of Jenelle:

 

1. Unlikely Besties

Well, we didn’t think it was possible, but it appears Jenelle Evans and Nathan Griffith have settled their differences. As you know, the exes spent the past three years making each other’s lives hell.

2. Baby Steps

To be fair, it doesn’t sound like Jenelle and Nathan will be getting together for drinks anytime soon (and given their history of drunken blowout fights, that’s probably for the best).

3. All For Kai

Kaiser enters kindergarten
But they have worked out an amicable co-parenting arrangement for the sake of their 3-year-old son Kaiser.

4. A Lengthy Conflict

Yay for kaiser
For most of his life, Kaiser’s parents fought tooth and nail for custody of the boy.

5. Broken Home

The situation came to a head back in May when Kaiser and his siblings were removed from Jenelle and David’s care after a CPS investigation determined that the Easons were incapable of providing a suitable home environment for their kids.

6. The Same Routine

Kai 1
Kaiser spent several weeks living with Nathan and his fiancee before he was eventually placed back in Jenelle and David’s care — at which time the custody battle began again.

Jenelle Evans: Back with Nathan Griffith? Struggling to Rebuild Her Reputation? [UPDATED]

It’s been a very, very busy time for Jenelle Evans these past few weeks.

You know, what with filing for divorce from David Eason and all.

She’s left all her belongings behind to move herself and the two children she has custody of to a whole new state, she’s gathered proof of David’s abuse and filed a restraining order against him.

All that sounds like a ton of work, even when you don’t consider how taxing it all must have been emotionally for the Teen Mom 2 firebrand – whatever you think of her personally.

But still, even though Jenelle’s been doing all of that, she still found some time to spend with Nathan Griffith, the father of her middle child, Kaiser, and sworn enemy of David.

Why are they reconciling? What is her endgame? And can she possibly rekindle that romance and salvage whatever is left of her reputation after all she’s said and done?

Let’s break it down below.

1. Jenelle and Nathan

Nathan griffith jenelle evans selfie pic
Okay, so yeah, this isn’t a current picture of Jenelle and Nathan … because there aren’t many. They haven’t had the opportunity to take a photo together for the past few years because their breakup was pretty messy, and because David is the worst.

2. Gross

David eason wife
Jenelle and David first started dating like a month after she and Nathan broke off their engagement and relationship, and it seems like David’s always been super insecure about that, to the point where Jenelle simply wasn’t allowed to speak with him.

3. Ridiculous and Terrifying

Jenelle evans and david eason in ny
We’ll never forget an early appearance of David Eason on Teen Mom 2 where he went with Jenelle to meet with Nathan to discuss custody stuff … he was so mad that he threatened to “fill this whole street with uppercut.” Yes, that happened.

4. So Immature

Nathan griffith shirtless photo
Shortly after that, he decided that Jenelle wasn’t allowed to communicate directly with Nathan, even though she shared a small child with him. Instead, he’d be the one to deal with Nathan when it came to Kaiser.

5. Poor Kaiser

Kaiser enters kindergarten
And speaking of Kaiser, many fans believe that David was allegedly abusive towards him because he does look so much like his dad — more on all that in just a moment though.

6. Setting the Stage

So we’ve established that David has always hated Nathan, right? Good, let’s move on to the next part of this story.

Nathan Griffith: Yes, I Was Drunk When I Got Arrested, But I Wasn’t Driving!

Last week, Nathan Griffith was arrested for driving under the influence.

Now, he’s speaking out about the incident and claiming he’s not guilty of the charges against him.

There’s nothing unusual about that, of course.

What’s strange about Nathan’s case, however, is that he doesn’t deny he was drunk — but he does deny he was driving.

Clearly, this is the kind of weirdness that could only emerge from the orbit of fired Teen Mom 2 waste case Jenelle Evans.

But hey, maybe Nate’s excuse just crazy enough to get him off the hook.

Here’s the latest on Ms. Evans’ troubled ex — and his bizarre attempt to beat the DUI rap:

1. Nate the Not-So-Great

Nathan griffiths mugshot
Yes, it’s another booze-related arrest for serial f–k up Nathan Griffith. If you’ve been following this guy’s “career” for the past few years, then you’re probably not terribly surprised by this one.

2. Mug Shot Memory Lane

Griffith has been locked up multiple times, and booze is usually a factor. In 2016, he was picked up for disorderly conduct, public intoxication, impairment and endangering himself and others.

3. It Never Ends

Nathan griffith mug shot
In 2015, he was arrested for domestic assault. In 2013, he was picked up for DUI … his second offense at the time.

4. The Terrible Twosome

Nathan griffith photo
Griffith, of course, is best known as the former fiance of Jenelle Evans, as well as the father of her son Kaiser.

5. The Misdemeanor Queen

Jenelle evans mugshots
To his credit, Nathan doesn’t have nearly as many mug shots as Jenelle (who does, in all seriousness?!), but he’s doing his damnedest to break her record.

6. Speaking Out

Nate 1
Now, in a video provided to TMZ, Nathan is offering his own account of what happened on the day of his latest arrest. And while he expected him to proclaim his innocence, we didn’t expect him to spin such an elaborate tale …

Nathan Griffith DUI Details Revealed: He Was Passed Out at the Wheel at 5 PM?!

It’s 5 o’clock somewhere!

That’s something your alcoholic friend might say when he’s looking to pound some tequila shots on his lunch break.

But even that maniac would probably look down his nose at this … the sort of person who gets passed-out drunk before most folks are even out of work – on a weekday, no less!

Nathan Griffith, on the other hand has no qualms about getting absolutely sh-thoused on a random Thursday while the sun’s still out.

As we reported earlier today, Griffith was arrested on DUI charges last night.

Now we know the details of his latest brush with the law, and frankly – while the jokes may seem funny – we’re a little worried for the guy at this point.

Also, see what Jenelle Evans has to say about her baby daddy’s situation.

Take a look:

1. Not on His Best Behavior

Griffith mug shot
Griffith was booked and held on $10,000 bond after being arrested on DUI charges near his home in North Carolina yesterday.

2. A Very Bad Habit

Nathan griffith mug shot 2016
Troublingly, this was not Griffith’s first DWI. In fact, it’s not his second, either. The 32-year-old been arrested for the offense on at least THREE prior occasions.

3. The Bright Side

Nathan griffith shirtless photo
Thankfully, Nathan Griffith hasn’t killed anyone with his reckless behavior. But that’s not the only threshold for dangerous behavior that threatens the public, and as such, it certainly doesn’t mean he’ll walk away from this latest situation consequence-free.

4. Kaiser In the Middle

Nathan and kaiser being tough
Not only is Nathan facing jail time, he’s set to square off against Teen Mom 2 terror Jenelle Evans in a battle for custody of his son, Kaiser. Needless to say, this brush with the law won’t improve his chances of winning.

5. A Rare Victory

Jenelle evans eats
Jenelle hasn’t done a whole lot of winning lately (or ever, if you think about it), but Nathan’s bender just made it much more likely that she’ll be granted full custody of Kaiser – especially once the judge finds out the details of Griffith’s latest arrest.

6. This Freakin’ Guy

“He was found unconscious in the parking lot of grocery store Harris Teeter,” Cady, N.C. police sergeant Mike Ring tells Radar Online, referencing the local grocery store chain.

Nathan Griffith: BUSTED For Drunk Driving!

Bad news today for Teen Mom 2’s Nathan Griffith – and it might also be some rare good news for his long-suffering ex, Jenelle Evans.

The Ashley’s Reality Roundup first reported that Griffith was arrested for driving while impaired in North Carolina on Thursday night.

If he were a first time offender, Nathan probably wouldn’t have much to worry about … but this is Nathan we’re talking about here.

Obviously, if you know his history, he’s very far from that, and he’s also in the midst of a particularly ugly custody battle with Jenelle.

How does she feel about this right about now? Is his misfortune the lucky break she needed in the battle for their young son Kaiser? 

Well, it seems there’ll be some cause for celebration on The Land tonight, and not just because of killing pigs or some redneck s–t.

Take a look:

1. Busted

Griffith mug shot
Yes, it’s another arrest for another troubled Teen Mom 2 baby daddy, who was once engaged to Jenelle Evans before their relationship went horribly, terribly wrong. And this run-in with the law may have some major repercussions for Nate the Not-So-Great.

2. Nate the Not-So Great

Nathan griffith shirtless photo
According to celebrity news site The Ashley’s Reality Roundup, Griffith was picked up by Wake County cops on Thursday. He was allegedly driving while impaired, and dude is still behind bars at press time.

3. Bad Stuff

Nathan griffith photo
As far as we know, he’s currently being held on $10,000 bail. It’s not clear what Nathan’s financial situation is, but that five-figure sum is not a paltry amount to fork over just to secure your own freedom pending trial.

4. Waiting … Not the Hardest Part This Time

Nathan griffith profile pic
According to The Ashley, Griffith may not get sprung until he goes before a judge. He is currently “awaiting trial,” and is scheduled to go before a judge on Friday.

5. A Dubious Distinction

Nathan griffith jenelle evans selfie pic
Nate, of course, is best known as the former fiance of Jenelle and the father of her son Kaiser, her second child.

6. Not a Competition, But …

Jenelle evans mug shot may 2013
Granted, Nathan doesn’t have nearly as many mug shots as Jenelle (who does, in all seriousness?!), but he’s got quite a lengthy rap sheet of his own, and that’s likely to come back to haunt him to at least some degree here.

Teen Mom Dads, Husbands & Boyfriends Ranked: Who’s #1?!

So how great are all those guys on Teen Mom, huh?! Such remarkable specimens of manhood, every one of them, filled to the brim with integrity, compassion, and grace.

… Wait, like 85% of them are completely terrible human beings?

Well, huh.

Sure, some of them baby daddies are awful, but some of the aren’t! Some of them are kind of OK, and a few are even great!

Check out our ranking of all the Teen Mom fellas, from best to worst.

And prepare to be amazed, as always, at the level of awfulness on this show.

1. Cole DeBoer

Cole DeBoer is Chelsea Houska’s husband, and thank goodness for that. He’s a wonderful stepfather to Aubree (and he’s made it clear that he’s ready to adopt her if/when Adam gives up his parental rights for her like he did with his other child), he and Chelsea have had two precious babies together so far, and ever since he first came on the show, he’s been perfect.

He’s an easy number one, y’all.

2. Taylor McKinney

Maci bookout jayde and taylor mckinney photo
Taylor McKinney is Maci Bookout’s husband, and they share two children together, Jayde and Maverick — and they’re often talking about having more, whether it’s through more pregnancies or fostering and adoption. They’re also raising Bentley, the son Maci had with Ryan Edwards, and it’s safe to say that Taylor is doing all the heavy dad lifting there, too. Sure, Taylor drinks Bud Light like it’s water and he’s in a desert, but he’s an amazing father.

3. Tyler Baltierra

Tyler baltierra catelynn lowell novalee hike pic
Tyler Baltierra has been with Catelynn Lowell since they were 12 years old (yes, literally), and when she got pregnant at 16, they placed their daughter up for adoption. They’ve since had two more children, daughters Nova and Vaeda, and they’ve been through just a lot of stuff together. He can be pretty insensitive sometimes, but he’s proven that he’s one of the best dads and husbands in the whole franchise.

4. Gary Shirley

Amber portwood gary shirley shirtless
Let’s just say it: Gary was not great in the early days of Teen Mom. He never did anything to deserve being abused by Amber, to be clear, but he was kind of a jerk. Fortunately he’s matured a bit over the years, and he seems like a great father to Leah and Emilee, the daughter he shares with wife Kristina. And thank goodness for that, because it looks like Amber may be headed back to prison soon.

5. Andrew Glennon

Amber portwood with andrew glennon
Oh, Andrew … where do we begin? He loses points for his history of restraining orders, but the way he’s stepped up for baby James after Amber’s horrifying meltdown in July is definitely commendable. Since the arrest, we’ve heard plenty of evidence that’s proved that she’d been abusing him for nearly a year before the July assault, and Andrew has said that she’d even been rough with James, too. It looks like he’s placing James’ safety and wellbeing above all else, and if that’s not being a good dad, what is?

6. Corey Simms

Leah messer with corey simms
Corey Simms was married to Leah Messer, and they had twins Ali and Gracie. They got divorced when Leah couldn’t stay faithful to him (and also because they had twins and got married when they were teenagers), but Corey’s been a good father, and a good coparent with Leah. He’s just a good ol’ boy, y’all.
