Yikes! Former ‘Teen Mom’ Star Jenelle Evans Seemingly Doesn’t Know Her Son Jace’s Age During Embarrassing Interview Blunder

“Really Mom!?”

Well Juh-nelle….

Former Teen Mom star Jenelle Evans is currently doing the press circuit trying to promote the “Divorce Party” she’s throwing in New York City on Thursday, but during an interview with Us Weekly on Wednesday, she revealed that she seemingly does not know how old her eldest son, Jace, actually is.

During the interview, Jenelle talked about Jace and her other kids, Ensley and Kaiser, stating that the kids are her first priority. She told the magazine’s reporter that she is “finding the calm and safety for my children.”

However, when Jenelle was asked about her son Jace’s upcoming birthday, she not only got his age wrong but corrected the reporter, who got Jace’s age right.

“What is it like? He’s about to be, what, 16?” the reporter asked Jenelle.

“Well, he’s about to be 15,” Jenelle replied.

“Ummm?”

As ‘Teen Mom’ fans know, Jace was born during Jenelle’s episode of 16 and Pregnant in August of 2009. That makes him currently 15 years old, with his 16th birthday approachingunlike what Jenelle stated.

She did say some nice things about her son, though, during the interview.

“Time has literally flown by….he went from a little boy to a young man overnight,” Jenelle said. “…he’s a big help around the house and he wants to do good in life. He’s really into dirt bikes and fixing them and stuff like that. So maybe he’ll be a mechanic. We’ll see…”

  1. Wait I came back to ask, has anyone seen her interviews and the pictures from her party? I know without a doubt in my mind she looks way different. And I cannot put my finger on what’s changed. Did she get face stuff done or something? Someone?! Anyone?!


    1. @tucker ~ theashley will perhaps have a post on the ‘big’ event, so i don’t really want to beer off-topic. 🤷🏼‍♀️
      from what i’ve seen, though ~ swamp queen 🧟‍♀️ looked like hot garbage 🔥🗑️. truly tragic hair and makeup, ill-fitting frock 💃🏻, maybe some bad filler.


      1. **VEER off-topic (maybe beer taylor 🍻 infiltrated my autocorrect. or i just typo’d 🤷🏼‍♀️)

  2. Jesus, I didn’t think she could get any more embarrassing, but fucking up your kids age while correcting the person saying it right is so beyond embarrassing. This is just plain and simple shit parenting. I guess that’s what happens when someone else raises your kid while you’re high af and wasted and prioritizing dick. SMFH


  3. It’s a good thing Janelle left him with her Mom. If you remember she fed him , put him to bed and then got ready to go out. She didn’t think she needed to stay home with a newborn.


  4. you can’t expect swamp queen 🧟‍♀️ to remember deets abt her kids at this SUPER important time in her life.
    the trashy 🗑️ AF divorce party 🎉🎊 is tonight, DUDE. her two brain cells have to focus. gawsh, why is everyone so dramastic?!?


  5. It’s the way Jenelle goes so hard for any random man but can’t even be bothered with her own sweet baby boy. Jace deserves so much better, Jenelle hasn’t changed at all since she was 16.


  6. No worries Jenelle you know who else doesn’t know his kids ages and is a big time reality star, Kody brown. That’s keep good company girl and definitely someone I would want to have something in common with /s


  7. Has she ever come off as the sharpest tool in the shed. And the weed has nothing to do with it. Some people just aren’t that bright. They should take all her children, she is a danger to them.


  8. A few day off the weed would perhaps give her some clarity. A lot of people think weed is harmless, but that shit can change you if you smoke too much.


      1. It’s actually not a gateway drug. The reason behind marijuana being criminalized is super weird. It basically boils down to racism. In 1910, Mexicans were smoking it and because a guy unalived his family, they said it was because of the weed. Henry Ainslinger, who was over the Narcotics Division, was about to get his funding cut, so he needed to criminalize something and someone, so he used that story of the Mexican guy. Ppl bought it hook, line and sinker. And still buying that it’s a gateway drug today because of that being said during Reagan’s Presidency. Weed has never killed anyone, BUT because the human brain is not fully developed until you’re 25, it shouldn’t be smoked until then. Hell, a lot of these drugs shouldn’t be used, honestly, and we should go back to natural remedies


    1. Also, people love to claim it’s not addictive either. You can get addicted to anything. Weed is no different. I’ve seen weed addiction first hand. Watching the way a person completely unravels without it would make any sane person call that an addiction. People love to downplay weed because it makes them feel like their addiction to it is ok.


      1. Not all of us are addicted 🙂 I will never understand why canna mommies get shit on but being a wine mommy is normalized. Having a glass of wine every night after the kids go to bed is fine, but having a toke every night after the kids go to bed means you have a drug problem


        1. Wine moms think wine is fine every night and weed moms think weed is fine every night. Is sober moms don’t do any of it. And to act like someone thinks drinking is fine when you know nothing about them is so stupid. I think moms should be sober, all the time. There is many years after the kids grow up that y’all can spend high and drunk and do whatever you want. Why on earth do any moms think they need to depend on any substance to maintain a happy life? Be sober and raise your kids then do what you want. Pretty simple.


          1. I’m not JUST a mom, and I’m 100% going to enjoy my life WHILE I have my children. I’m not too high to function and my children are well cared for and my bills are paid. I’m not “depending on it to maintain a happy life”. I enjoy my life regardless. I just also enjoy gardening and there is nothing wrong with that. YOU can be 100% sober and happy with your children. And I will be happy and thriving with mine.


    2. I COMPLETELY can confirm this. I have had mental health issues since I was 12- started smoking chronically when I was 17. While Alcohol became a huge problem and I got sober from that starting years ago, I still would smoke weed, I had convinced myself that the weed made me a better person and didn’t really affect me in a negative way. However, I still had major anxiety and I just was very up and down, not really present- bad memory too. I FINALLY got 100% sober a little over four years ago and my mental health has NEVER been better. I’m now convinced that weed is probably a big part of why I had that constant anxiety feeling and why my meds did not work nearly as well as they work now (I’m on Cymbalta). I have a LOT more motivation and energy too, that I lacked for YEARS. I still miss smoking sometimes, but I can vouch that 100% weed DOES affect you in a negative way and I am pretty positive I was addicted to it and I know a handful of people who are addicted to it, still. I really don’t know what will happen in the future as I take it day by day- I may smoke again one day, sure. I never had really, any serious consequences from smoking other than having a lesser quality of life. I do know for a fact though that I cannot take another drink for the rest of my life or it will likely kill me. I would have never experienced the clarity and the general betterment of my mental health, had I continued smoking.


      1. I should also say though, that for others, I am pro-canibus. I also would much rather see a person smoking pot, than drinking. I also don’t know anyone that has passed away from smoking weed (even chronically), while just this year alone, I’ve lost three friends to alcoholism. I don’t judge others that smoke (I’d likely judge a mom more for drinking… although these days I don’t do much judging and try to just mind my business) and do think for many, it CAN help them, but for me, I am better off not smoking it- at least chronically. Of course, there are many benefits with specific health conditions too. I think the issue is though, that many who “smoke” aren’t smoking here and there- the majority of those I know that smoke, do it daily and often throughout the day. There is absolutely no denying though, that when you are smoking, you just don’t have that clarity you have when 100% sober.


  9. Being a mother was never her ministry. She’s big sis who can hook him up with weed. That degenerate continues to walk a minefield but always comes out unscathed. It’s bemusing. Her resilience will run out eventually.


  10. Is anyone really surprised? She barely knows him. She didn’t raise him. She seemed to be avoiding him most of the time. Maybe it’s just all the weed damaging her brain. Maybe she can’t think straight due to being in a 5 minute dick drought. I find it hard to believe that she cares about Jace at all tbh


  11. Jace doesn’t know how to be a man. He has never had a positive male role model, ever. If I were him, I would join the army. The army would straighten him out with discipline and masculinity.


    1. Somebody diagnosed with “authority defiance disorder” or whatever it’s called is not going to succeed in the Army.


      1. Growing up having a mother who you hate, who hates you, who dates guys who hate you and you hate them, will obviously make a teenage boy (notorious for already being rebellious and seeking independence) not have respect for authority. He will not feel the same way about a drill sergeant. He would not have spent the last 18 years wishing the drill sergeant cared about him. For Pete’s sake. Think people.


      1. It’s not about thriving. The military will provide discipline, both physical and mental, it’ll provide routine and stability, among other positive things, and it also is a job, a paycheck, a way to make it on your own. The military is a great place for a broken teen to end up.


  12. Why would she know his age?She dumped him off on her mother since birth.. I don’t know who’s more of a dead beat mother, Jenelle, or amber.. and to think these two were actually on a show called teen mom, when they were teenagers, but not mothers


  13. Ma’am I don’t even know how old I am.. I thought I was 45 all year last year, even after my bday in July I thought I was then 46. Actually I’ll be 46 next month. Hell if we’re being honest I call my kids one another’s names 2 times before I get it right. I don’t know either of my grand baby’s actual bdays, and I like them more than my kids.


  14. I had seen a video that talked about Jace posting something along the lines of “my mother hates me and I hate her” and it was maybe a meme or something he had shared. But I tell you what, I have three boys and not a single one of them would ever say something like that, let alone blast it online like that. It spoke serious volumes to me, not only about Jenelle’s relationship with him but about jaces behavioral issues too. I feel so sad for that poor child, the heartache he has suffered. It’s excruciating to see the pain he clearly carries and know that he doesn’t have a mother who cares about his heart.


    1. This is so sad. Where is he posting? I’m surprised more of this info doesn’t come out. It says so much about their relationship.


      1. I can’t even recall because I’m not a social media type person. It was maybe instagram? I watch YouTube videos to keep up with the teen mom drama just because I was really into it back then and I enjoy following the stories now. And it was just a YouTube video where someone was talking about things he had been posting not too long ago. They were all very very sad things. Things that I would die inside if my son was feeling. And I don’t know how Jenelle sleeps at night, truly.


    2. I agree- I also have three boys and while they may not always like when I impose the rules or consequences on them (and of course since I have twin pre-teens, I am “embarrassing” LOL), I don’t think I’d ever see them post something even close to that. Even when they get mad at me and say something rude, I get an apology. When they know they’ve upset me, I get an apology and an “I love you, mom”. But I’ve never heard them say they hate me- and they KNOW I don’t hate them- if anything they’d probably complain that I love them too much 😀

      It’s really sad to me- she’s missing out so much with ALL three kids. My twins are 12 and I REALLY love this age- yeah, they are hormonal, get into low grade trouble and have moments where they are jerks, but we can talk now about so much because they understand things. They trust me. We’ve built such a great relationship- and we’ve gone through it when they were younger (they have ADHD, but have grown out of a lot of the behavior). And my 6 year old- he’s a LOT, but he truly is such a happy person and so full of life and energy. I’m tired, yes, but it’s a small price to pay and I know one day I will be able to sleep as much as I want to. I would never miss out on a moment on purpose so it blows my mind that Jenelle couldn’t get her life together at really any point of Jace’s life and that her and other people willingly let others raise their children. No matter how hard it is.
