Well Juh-nelle, I see ya wif a new soulmate!
Less that two months after Jenelle Evans left her husband (and life on The Land) behind, she’s already got herself a new boyfriend. On Monday, the former Teen Mom 2 star hopped a plane (braving her mysterious esophagus ailment!) to fly to the Northeast to hang out with her new man: Herbie Wilkinson!
The ‘Teen Mom’ Instagram pages @TMMamaDrama and @TeenMomShadeRoom were the first to sleuth out who Jenelle’s new mystery soulmate was, first finding his Instagram page, to which he posted a video showing Jenelle. (Naturally, he called her “babe.”)
Although Herbie lacks the yeti-like beard of Jenelle’s estranged husband David Eason, he does have an interesting past that, of course, includes a few trips to the good ol’ county jail.
Here, The Ashley breaks down everything she was able to find on The Herbster….
Age: 31
Location: Herbie is from the Braintree, Massachusetts area. (He has a “wicked” Massachusetts accent that would put Matt Baier to shame!)
Kids: It appears that Herbie has no kids of his own, which makes him unique to Jenelle’s former soulmates, most of whom have all had children before entering into Soulmatedom with Jenelle. While there are a few kids featured in photos on Herbie’s Instagram account, they are actually his niece and nephew, not his own children.
Family Life: Back in 2010, Herbie wrote about his early life in the caption of this video (which appears to be some sort of audition tape or something).
“My life growing up in Braintree was very wild,” he wrote. “My parents split when I was three years old. My father had a drinking problem that split him and my mother apart. My mother is my best friend in life. I am extremely close to her. Which leaves me looking like a mamas boy. My father is a DJ and my mother is a medical coder. I enjoy life and love being the life of the party. I have no shyness whatsoever. I will take you guys on a wild ride. I promise you that one. I love chick flicks. Love the notebook. love PS i love you. My name is Herbert. its bad enough that i like chick flicks. and i HATE spiders.”
(If any of you have been watching Jenelle’s Instagram Stories lately, she has posted several screenshots of scenes from “The Notebook.”)
He appears to be very close to his parents.
Job: It does not appear that Herb had a job back in July. However, he may have gotten one since then. On his LinkedIn page, he lists his job as a “Water Meter Installer” and claims that he has held that position since 2016.
He also graduated high school with a diploma, so there’s that…
Arrests: Naturally, Herb has had some trouble with the law in the past. While he can’t come close to matching Jenelle’s mugshot count (but, honestly, who can?) he has had some run-ins with the law. The Ashley was able to uncover the following arrests so far:
March 2008: Arrest for unknown crime (he was 19 at the time)
June 2011: Arrested for operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol
Surprisingly, though, he does not appear to have spent any time in prison, so it’s an upgrade from some of Jenelle’s other soulmates.
Substance Abuse: Like many of Jenelle’s former soulmates/fiances, Herb has struggled with alcoholism. In fact, Herb’s mother admitted back in July that Herb was an alcoholic/addict and was heading to rehab after years of struggling.
“I have been watching my son die every day for quite a few years the most painful thing to watch,” she wrote. “Nobody can understand this unless you are a parent of an addict just 20 days ago Braintree Police helped me find him…He is in Rehab for 5 days then will go up to Maine for continued help and then sober living coming back here was not an option. He needs good vibes and prayers if you have em.”
It appears Herbie had been sober for a while before the relapse. In December, he stated on Instagram that he had “five months,” which we can assume to mean he’s been sober for five months.
Former MTV Appearances: One thing that Jenelle and Herb have in common is that they have both appeared on MTV! That’s right, kids: Jenelle’s latest soulmate has his own reality TV past!
Back in 2010, Herbie and his then-girlfriend Noelle appeared on the MTV reality show “Is She Really Going Out With Him?” Herbie was described in the episode promo as Noelle’s “douchebag boyfriend of eight years” who didn’t support her dreams of moving to California and becoming an actress/model/whatever.
Another thing Jenelle and Herb have in common? They both recorded incredibly embarrassing videos of themselves dancing in the early 2010s. (Who could forget the gift that is Jenelle’s lip-sync Ke$ha video? It’s truly a national treasure!)
Here’s Herb busting a move. (Scroll to the 30 second mark and let the horrorshow begin!)
Notable Exes: One of Herb’s exes, a Massachusetts woman named Jenna, claimed on Instagram that Herb is still in contact with her and had recently sent her photos of him and Jenelle together (possibly to brag or make him jealous?)
His ex, Noelle (whom he appeared on “Is She Really Going Out With Him?” with) ended up making it onto another reality TV show years later called ‘Breaking Boston.’
Eason-Like Tendencies: While Herbie may not look like David, he does share some of his views, based on his Instagram posts. In May, he posted a screenshot of a story about Sonic the Hedgehog being transgender in an upcoming movie, Herbie commented “What a f**king joke.”
However, there is this video of Herb (dressed as a woman, dancing with a man as a joke) that would be an Eason no-no!
Surprisingly, David has yet to comment on Jenelle’s new boo. Stay tuned…

Here we go again. She can’t have kids now right? She so stupid. Just can’t stand a moment with her kids and be a mother,must have a man. She’s sick
I’m sure Massachusetts having recreational marijuana has nothing to do with her visit to see this dreamboat.
Can someone please confirm if Jenelle can or can not have any more spawn? There’s a comment here that says she can’t. Has it been confirmed by Jenelle? Or could Herbie be her 4th (5th? I’ve lost count) baby-daddy.
OMG! She’s dating her mutha.
That accent must remind her of Babs a little bit.
As we can see, her children are her first, no scratch that, last priority.
Those poor kids….great role-model for her daughter.
Trying any angle to get back on TV, even dating low-rent reality has-beens.
No surprise that Jenelle and the rest of her cohorts cannot seem to go 5 minutes without a penis in their vagina. They always seem to have the next soulmate lined up. Sad for the innocent children who have to suffer through all of the dysfunction and abuse.

Haven’t read all of the comments yet, but I’m feeling serious Nathan vibes. Obviously this guy wants to be on TV and looks like he’s resorted to dating a former reality show train wreck. Who has a crazy violent ex with a lot of weapons to boot so he could be risking his life. Doesn’t seem like he’s the brightest bulb though.
Although it would be fun to see him and Babs interact and speak to eachother in wicked Boston-ese.
Nothing to really do with with these 2 idiots, but if you want a good laugh visit the Braintree Police Department’s Twitter or Facebook sites, they’re hilarious with their messages, especially one during the summer when the heat was so bad they asked people not to break any laws and to stay inside and binge watch some show. The NYE tweets are a riot.
Anyway, I’m bored. My daughter and I are visiting friends in West Virginia and it’s not as redneck as I had hoped. Gonna try and visit a holla tomorrow. Wish I could post pictures for y’all.

Omg jenelle
You are still married!
To a bastard yes. But still.
Get a divorce first.
A boston douchebag is right up her alley.
She just makes me sick
Whos the ashley
We all knew she was going to have a new “soul mate” before the end of 2019. She’s pitiful…at least she can’t get pregnant again.
Yea, I said UBT had a kid. I knew that. I think Courtlands daughter was born after he was with Janelle. And I didnt realize Nathan had a kid b4 Kaiser roll. My point is, the ashley made it sound like every guy shes ever dated had kids & thats def not true.
Is anyone really surprised?? This is Jenelle. I knew she wasn’t gonna change, but I’m kinda shocked she found a new man so fast. It’s been less than 2 months since she left David and she already found a new soulmate. Pathetic. He’ll be moved into her home by the end of the month, and they’ll be engaged probably by the summer (if not sooner), and I’m sure she’ll be back at the doctors getting her tubes untied so they can have more children that she will also neglect. She will NEVER put her kids first. I feel so sad for Ensley and Kaiser, they deserve so much more than Jenelle will ever be willing to provide. I really hope Babs didn’t move her and Jace to TN cause Jenelle will inevitably start saying her “when I get Jace back” speech and will hate Barbara again like she always does whenever she finds a new soulmate
You guys went to a lot of trouble, I dont even ask family members new bf/gf for arrest records. Jenelle isnt even on MTV anymore you guys still wrote this messy trash lol
I see comments like “wish some happiness for Amber” or “everyone is entitled to love, no matter what” (written about Jenelle).
My reaction to that is: THEY CAN FIND HAPPINESS AND LOVE WITH THEIR CHILDREN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why don’t their children count?
Why can they only find that with a man?
This girl is so desperate to be in a relationship she doesn’t give herself time to heal from the last one. Someone needs to tell this girl it’s okay to be alone sometimes. That being alone is actually healthy at times. She tried to validate herself with relationships all the time it’s toxic.
Why is she so afraid of been single? Why she needs to have a man in her life?
I live wicked close to him….. he is good looking (with a hat on) though… and I’d never say wicked-?- I didn’t grow up in NE. I just moved here a few years ago….. that’s their favorite word!
Run Herbie run!!!!?♂️?♂️?♂️
Jenelle can you for once focus on your children and yourself instead of bringing another loser around your children
What a catch. I wonder how they met? She met Nathan on Tinder. And didn’t John slide into Briana’s DM’s on IG?
I wonder if Herbie sent her a Facebook request?
He is just like Eason. They are both narcissists. Eason is a covert and this dude is the in your face kind that is more obvious. She obviously has co dependency issues that need to be addressed before she dates someone else. There is no shame in it. I’m going through the same right now.
Love the update this is hilarious
I hope for her childrens’ sake she is on birth control.
I think she’s had her tubes tied now?
Seems to me hes been waiting to be “famous” for a while. He’s a man of many hats, that one!just looking for a ticket in.
OMG what does she always have to have a man ?????
OMG.. can this needy girl just ever be by herself?? She always needs a man!! What she should do is be by herself for a while añf work on herself. She just can’t be alone and that’s why her relationships will NEVER work.
Well, Barb can now be tossed aside like she gets every time Jenelle finds a new soulmate. Hope Barb didn’t uproot Jace and move to Tennessee, because we all know Jenelle will turn on Barb as soon as she voices her opinion on this fame-whore!
Countdown to Juh-Nelle’s tubal reversal in 3, 2, 1…
did she actually get her tubes tied??
She says she did, last year sometime. She posted pics of Lurch gifting her with a surfboard (wtf) outside of the hospital afterward.
That was a very logical gift from David though, because I don’t think he had a surfboard yet.
If she actually had her tubes tied… not like she is the most reliable person to believe..
Also David denied it…
His ex girlfriend described him as a “douchebag boyfriend of eight years?” Sounds like a match made in heaven for Jenelle, given that dopers, douchbags, and domesticity violent dick heads are her specialty.
Still praying for those poor kids. Talk about a penis flytrap who can’t seem to put her stuff on ice long enough to focus on just her children.
SMDH
Yes I agree.. it’s actually really pathetic that she is always concentrated on finding a new man than her children. With her it’s man after man.. what a great role model for her kids.. SMH!!
I can’t imagine putting as much energy as you do into hating this woman. It almost seems personal.. you are disgusting.
I’d really like to see her be on her own without a “soulmate” for at least a year to learn to love herself, to heal from her toxic relationships and to give her children the love and attention they so desperately need; but I gotta admit that dressed as a woman dance had me laughing. I give any guy willing to try dancing props because so many of them stand on the sidelines wishing they had the nerve to do it too. It would be great if she finally found a man that is good to her and the children but as long as she is in her current mindset, she will continue to attract the same man just with different faces!
For you to hold her in high regard despite everything she hasn’t done for her animals or children makes it seem like you know her personally, or you have something wrong with you.
I HATE HER!!! She defended that monster child abuser dog murderer! I would say that I hope she rots in hell, but she’s so awful that God won’t have her and the devil don’t want her! There are thousands who are ready to start petitions to keep her off TV. And since you are such a good friend of hers, why don’t you tell her!!!
Also: How is dating a new man even a thought that goes through your mind after just getting out of a “VeRy AbUsIvE rElAtIoNsHip”? ?♀️
And how dod she have the time!? Between uprooting herself and her kids, moving to a totally different state, suddenly becoming a single mother of 2 kids full time since Lurch doesn’t get visitation yet, trying to keep her location secret from the press and Lurch for awhile, filing for separation and divorce and all the legal meetings and paperwork that go along with that, having to set up a whole new household and probably buy a bunch of stuff for herself and the kids since she apparently left Lurch quickly without packing much, coordinating visits with Nathan and Barb and Kaiser and Jace across multiple states, getting the kids started at their new schools, etc etc etc. How on earth did she have the time to set up and check her online dating profiles!? Or meet up with a guy who lives multiple states away from her? How does she have the time to make dating a top priority!?
Really hope those judges that let the kids back into her care are pleased with themselves. This is going to be a David 2.0 situation. It’s got the entire recipe: two drug addicts, money, multiple criminal arrests, obvious co-dependency, and a desire to be on TV.
I can’t stand bitches that can’t live without a man. That put dick and drugs before the humans they brought to life. Be a boss b!tch on your own, set an example, and show your kids that you don’t need someone else to feel fulfilled in life. Show them that THEY are the number one priority. Holy shit. I can’t with this ho. As Tyra once said, “WE WERE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU”
Sad to see this. When you jump to another without healing yourself first, you will only attract more of the same just a different name. She needs time alone, no relationships to heal herself. It took me several years to heal from childhood traumas and learn to love myself. Love of self must come first to avoid dysfunctional relationships and lives.
He looks like Courtland, and she had to fly to where he is, because like anyone else that would ever be involved with her, he’s a loser. There is nothing else to say, except I feel very sorry for her children, It’s very likely that they will lead very troubled lives too. She and Amber are exactly a like, the same useless losers!
We knew is was going to happen. Jenelle is addicted to 3Ds, drugs, drama, and dick. She can’t stay away from any of those things for more that a couple weeks.
Wow. Couldn’t finish the dance video cuz I was distracted trying to figure out if that was a black bra on the floor.
I mean, he is the best looking out of all her soulmates until now (but that’s prob because he reminds me of some German actor a lot) but I mean…the divorce papers aren’t even signed yet and I bet him being childless will make her reverse the surgery. *sighs* When will this girl learn?! For now he seems better than everyone else…for now. I bet there are some skeletons in the closet tho. You remember when we thought Matt Baier is a good guy? HAHA LOL.
Submitted a long post, but not sure site is working.
So there were many of us that were convinced that the split between Jenelle and David was complete bullshit (I’m on of them) and a little part of me still thinks it is due to the lack of rage on David’s part.
There were many people out there that cheered Jenelle on for leaving an abusive relationship, and seemingly, for the first time in history, putting her kids first. I wasn’t one of those people. I’ve been sitting here waiting for the other more classier court heel to drop. Looks like it has.
Just shy of two months after uprooting Kaiser (again).. and Ensley.. from the only home she’s known and moving them to another state supposedly to start them all on a path to a better, safer, more secure life (after lying in court in order to get the kids back from CPS, that is) she starts posting pictures of herself with new hair extensions and professionally done make-up. Oh, lets not forget the new designer puppy. Labradoodle I believe (search reddit using ‘Jenelle new dog’, you’ll find the relevant threads) it is. She then posts a photo of Ensley holding a Christmas ornament in a room sparsely furnished with lawn furniture. Many out there defended her. I wasn’t one of them.
Yeah, I get it. When shit hits the fan you leave. Life and safety over material possessions every time, hands down. Many of us have likely been there. It ain’t pretty, but it’s nothing to be ashamed of either. You do what you gotta do to keep you and the kids safe, and fed and out of the cold. You do what you have to do to survive. To live another day together. Right? Nah. You know better, not when we’re talking about Jenelle.
Then we find out she’s been flying back and forth to where ever the fuck this newest choice of felonious soulmates hales from. More money thrown away there. So lets look at Jenelle’s priorities again, okay?
Hair Extensions ✅
Professional make-up ✅
Designer Puppy ✅
Dick Trips ✅
Oh, and her choice in men, once again, stellar. ?? I wonder if this one will not only address Kaiser as a little bitch like David did, but toss a stinging, abusive string of hateful words aimed at Ensley as well? Oh, Jenelle would be hooked for sure!
Ugh. Seriously, for anyone out there holding onto that shredded, raggedy pom-pom in the hopes that there is something left to cheer for, give up. She’s a lost cause. She’s shit. She’s always going to be shit. She will always chose herself and her vagina over her children and she simply refuses to put her kids first.
Jace, Kaiser and Ensley deserve so much more than she will ever give to them. I hope that someday soon, someone steps up and puts an end to this insanity before these kids are emotionally fucked for the rest of their lives.
Well said Bruja. So sad and frustrating. CPS where are you. Judge who gave them back???
blwyddyn Newydd Dda. ??????? For happy new year Bruja.
OK while we all know that it would be best for Jenelle to be alone for awhile and focus on her kids we also know that will never happen. So this guy does seem like a huge improvement from David, he clearly has a sense of humor and no domestic violence charges. So a step up.
PREDICTABLE!!!!!!!!!!!
I know Jenell messed up but give her a little credit. She finally seen David for what he was. And this new guy seems funny, uplifting. Let’s see where it goes. Everyone is in tiled to love. No matter what. Jenell, and Herbie might be the perfect match.
How about love for (and from) HER CHILDREN??
Does love only exist in ‘romantic’ relationships????????
Tanya… Really? A cutie? What are you 12? This guys a dirt bag with substance issues, the very type Jenelle should run from. I was trying to make sense out if your “comments” about exes not having kids and wtf that has to do with anything. All that shows is that there are loser guys who don’t care about STDs and pregnancy and made the unfortunate decision to have UNPROTECTED SEX with Jenelle. They’re responsible for their choices, just as she is.
Yeah, a cutie. Stfu. I can use whatever terminology I want. And I brought up the kids b/c it was literally IN.THE.STORY! Did you read it? Bye, girl.
Godspeed Herbie.
Please keep that bitch out if MA, let Herbie go live with the red necks down south! That’s one bitch who should be spayed! Ugly troll that she is!
Most of Janelles exes didnt have kids prior to her. Actually, I dont think any of them did, except UBT. Keefa, Nathan, Courtland – none of them had kids when they were with her. This guy is no different than. Hes def a cutie, unlike the others.
Nathan had a child as well. He has a daughter, but otherwise, yep no kids for Gary or Josh either, at the time.
I thought gary was cute imo
UBT, Nathan, and Courtland all had kids. Courtland had a daughter Jordan, and Nathan had a daughter, and UBT had a son and a daughter.
Yea, I said UBT had a kid. I knew that. I think Courtlands daughter was born after he was with Janelle. And I didnt realize Nathan had a kid b4 Kaiser roll. My point is, the ashley made it sound like every guy shes ever dated had kids & thats def not true.
I don’t think Jenelle cares what anyone says. In her mind we are just haters. When in fact we are concerned for her children. I keep harping on this but that judge who gave her back her children needs to be fired. Jenelle I dare you to go on Dr Phil. Stay away from Dr Drew. Please get help. I hope Marissa is okay.
@Lewie, very good comment. IMO haters are lovers: lovers of the abused and neglected children involved, lovers of Truth and lovers of Justice. BUT hating MTV and Viacom and Morgan Freeman, for using these people, making them think they are ‘stars’, making them entitled, paying them a lot of money, filming their f*cked up lives and filming child abuse and animal abuse.
Cutie? LOL. Someone sounds like they are in junior high.
Kieffer has a daughter before who was born pre-Janelle.
