Barbara Evans: Jenelle Evans" Mom to Star in Reality Dating Show

If you watch Teen Mom 2 online, then you’re no doubt familiar with Jenelle Evans’, um…let’s say outspoken mother Barbara.



Barbara not only holds her own on one of the most drama-packed current reality series, she would probably make any list of the most eccentric unscripted characters in TV history.


So perhaps it was only a matter of time before Babs landed her own series.


That’s right, viewers will can now follow along with the woman who brought Jenelle into the world on a new limited-run web series.


The fantastically-titled Bae For Babs debuted on MTV.com today, and producers say the four-part series will chronicle Evans’ search for a – say it with us now – “booooooooyfriend!”



Sometimes the best gifts are the ones you didn’t know you wanted.


Barbara divorced Jenelle’s father back in 1996 (Apparently the relationship was filled with insane drama! Go figure!), and she broke up with longtime boyfriend Mike a few seasons ago.


Even though “Mike” is the ideal mom’s-boyfriend name, it’s not easy to date an Evans woman, and Babs’ hunt for a suitable dude should be an entertaining one.


“My kids don’t even ever consider me having fun,” Barbara says in one clip from the show.


“So I’d like to have a little more fun in my life before, you know, I die.”



“I’m going to have Jace soon full-time so she needs someone to talk to because she’s going to talk to herself in the mirror,” Jenelle says in the clip above.


Yes, even when wishing her well, Jenelle has to slip in a jab about her custody battle with Barbara.


Never change, Evanses. Never change.
