Jenelle Evans Discusses Building a Blended Family With David Eason

It’s only been two months since Jenelle Evans welcomed her third child, but the Teen Mom 2 star is already planning her next move on the family front.

Jenelle is engaged to David Eason these days, and she’s happily addressed questions about her upcoming wedding and the unique joys and challenges of raising a blended family in a number of new interviews.

Asked about her upcoming nuptials by MTV, Jenelle revealed that there’s some disagreement as to exactly when she and David should tie the knot:

“We haven’t set a date, but we want to get married either this summer or next summer depending on how quickly we plan it,” Jenelle said last month.

“I’m saying next summer, but he’s saying this summer.”

As for the theme and decor, Evans had this to say:

“We know we want a rustic-themed wedding, nothing too fancy. Something simple, maybe backyard and outdoorsy. We want just close friends and family, not anything crazy.”

Of course the really interesting questions surrounding Jenelle and David’s forthcoming marriage have nothing to do with mason jars and Edison light bulbs.

Jenelle has three kids by three different men, and David has two children from previous relationships.

On top of that, Jenelle’s mother has custody of her eldest son, Jace.

All of this means there will be a lot of external input from third (and fourth, and fifth …) parties, on basically every family decision that David and Jenelle make.

So how does Jenelle picture the future for her blended family?

Well, despite the ongoing difficulty of custody issues, she says sees everyone living under one roof without any issue.

“Jace recently asked me: ‘When can I live with you again?’” Jenelle tells People magazine.

“I said: ‘Well, hopefully by the summer you’ll be living here.’ But that’s all I told him – I don’t want him to know too much right now ’cause it’s really detrimental.”

Asked by a fan on Twitter if Eason’s daughter will ever live with her full-time, Jenelle replied, “She already does.” 

She added, however, that for legal reasons, she’s not allowed to discuss custody of Eason’s son, Kaden.

But far from seeing their baby mamas and daddies and as a challenge, Jenelle says Eason’s relationship with his kids is one of the things that attracted her to him:

“I want to marry David because he’s a great father, he’s a great best friend, he’s faithful, he’s loyal to me,” she recently told MTV, adding:

“It’s the best relationship I’ve ever had.”

Kardashians and Jenners Celebrate Thanksgiving as One, Giant "Blended Family"

Talk about the ultimate family photo.

Thanksgiving brought together nearly every member of the extended Kardashian and Jenner clan this year, as Kylie Jenner shared a precious photo of her loved ones on Instagram, including with it a caption that reads:

“Thankful for my blended family.”

That really is the best way to describe it.

The image features Kylie and Kendall Jenner; Kim, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian; and Kris and Caitlyn Jenner.

But that’s not all. There are also Kourtney’s three kids, with son Mason being held by his controversial father, Scott Disick.

There’s Kim giving a kiss to her young daughter, North.

There’s Tyga, who is still dating Kylie, the latter recently insisted.

There’s Corey Gamble, who has been dating Kris for over a year now.

And there’s Kanye West, of course, who is expecting his second child with Kim some time before the new year.

As for who is missing from this impressive family portrait?

There’s no Rob Kardashian, despite talk that his relationship with various family members is on the mend; and there’s no Lamar Odom, who remains hospitalized after a major drug overdose last month.

But multiple sources confirm that Kim, Kanye and Khloe all spent time in the hospital with Lamar not long before this picture was snapped.

Say what you want about the Kardashians and Jenners (and, trust us, we often do), but it actually is pretty cool that such a large and diverse family can remain so close.

See. There you go. We’re in the generous, holiday spirit already. 

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!
