Jenelle Evansmay be separated from her children, but she’s keeping them close to her heart.
The formerTeen Mom 2star, whoreportedly lost custody of her three kidsat the end of May, said Wednesday that she believes no amount of time or distance can ever truly tear apart a mother and child.
“It’s the little things in life. With everything that has been going on lately, I’ve come to realize a child’s love for their mother will never fade. No distance, not time, no person can change that special love,” mother of three Evans wrote on Instagram.
The 27-year-old is mom to sons Jace, 9 (whom she shares with exAndrew Lewis) andKaiser, 4 (whom she shares with ex Nathan Griffith). She also shares 2-year-old daughter Ensley with husband David Eason.
“My children are the sweetest and the best,” she continued. “#MommasBabies #InMyHeart #AlwaysAndForever.”
“Of course I would like for Jenelle to get them all back eventually, but certain things have to happen first,” Evans’ mother Barbara Evans, who currently has custody of Ensley and Jace, told E! News.
Multiple people testified against the couple, including Griffith, throughout four days in court,according toTMZ. The judge ultimately made the ruling after they determined that there were issues with Evans and Eason that put the children at risk, TMZ reports.
Currently, Eason’s daughter Maryssa is in the custody of her mother Whitney Johnson, according to E! News.
“We have no comment at this time and appreciate the concerns regarding our client and her children,” Evans’ rep continued. “We will continue to cooperate with the court and their decisions.”
In May, Evanswas firedfromTeen Mom 2,which came after Eason allegedly murdered her dog, Nugget. On May 1, Evans confirmed her dog’s death, saying on Instagram that she was “speechless” and “so sorry.”
According to the Columbus County Sheriff’s department, Griffith called the police on April 30 to request a welfare check on his son Kaiser. “The male caller referenced making sure his son was safe because his ex-fiancée’s husband shot a dog in front of him,” the public information officer told PEOPLE.
The police checked on the 4-year-old and determined he was safe. Because the call only requested the welfare check, they did not further investigate the claim that Eason shot a dog, the PIO said.
Eason allegedly shot the dog after it bit Ensley in the face. He did not return PEOPLE’s request for comment.
Weeks after her dog’s death,Evans’sons were removed from her North Carolina home.
TMZ also reported that Kaiser was taken out of Evans’ home and was living with Griffith and his paternal grandmother.
