David Eason’s Girlfriend Kenleigh Heatwole Swoons Over the Fired ‘Teen Mom 2′ Dad; Weighs In On David & Jenelle Evans’ “Drama” & More

“He’s all mine, y’all!”

As Jenelle Evans continues riding the rollercoaster that is her relationship with manager-turned-boyfriend “August Keen,” her baby daddies are staying busy by dating women who are much younger and, for reasons we’ll never understand, seemingly obsessed with them. 

While Nathan Griffith and his new lady friend have been subjecting social media followers (and patrons of their local gym) to awkward PDA and relationship ramblings as of late, David Eason and his current gal pal Kenleigh Heatwole took the cringe reins this week when the latter posted a series of Instagram Stories touting David’s alleged greatness. 

(No, really.) 

“…but not nearly as good as me and August…when August acknowledges me, that is.”

As fans know, Jenelle has been legally separated from David since early 2024 and the exes will be eligible to file for a divorce at the end of February, per North Carolina law. Meanwhile, David has been dating Kenleigh since last summer and is currently living off of with the 25-year-old. 

During a recent Instagram Q&A, Kenleigh recalled the moment she and David first met, claiming their love story began at “the local small town bar” where David and his friend approached her and asked about her misspelled tattoo. 

Tale as old as time…

In an Instagram post from last month, Kenleigh had shared with followers that she and David met at an establishment ironically called “Luck’s Tavern.”

In addition to nabbing himself a Jenelle doppelgänger girlfriend, David has also acquired a job, according to Kenleigh, despite being chronically unemployed for years. While Kenleigh confirmed that David is “working a real job” at the moment, she did not reveal where the former boat-dweller is clocking in and out, claiming “the [haters] ruin things so we do not disclose.” 

When asked on Instagram how she deals “with the drama surrounding David and his ex,” Kenleigh pleaded the fifth– a skill she undoubtedly picked up from her legally challenged beau.

“I wasn’t there to speak on events between them so I have no say,” Kenleigh replied in her Instagram Story, adding, “Would love if they could maturely coparent for everyone’s sake.”

These two being mature? These two PARENTING? Come on, Kenleigh…

 

Kenleigh was also questioned about David’s reputation, with one of her followers asking if the aspiring rapper is “as crazy as [people] make him out [to be]?” 

“Not from what I can tell so far and if he was my mama would beat that a**,” Kenleigh replied, suggesting that David has been minding his Ps, Qs and ‘talkin’ words’ in recent months. 

As The Ashley previously told you, David has been sporting an ankle monitor since last month, when he appeared in a North Carolina courtroom to answer for criminal charges filed against him after attempting to heist motorbikes and other items from Jenelle’s home on The Land in October. David was arrested for the incident and charged with trespassing and violating the restraining order that Jenelle has had against him since last May. The incident also resulted in the protective order against David being extended for two years, with Jenelle citing David’s heist attempt as the main reason she needed continued protection.

Due to David allegedly being accompanied by Kenleigh (and others) during the bungled burgle in October, Jenelle has threatened to take legal action against her estranged husband’s honey, even going as far as to issue a warning on social media last month. 

“Don’t think I won’t take you to court, dude…I literally have nothin’ but time.”

“I didn’t press charges on [Kenleigh but]  I could still press charges on [her], if I choose to!” Jenelle stated on TikTok Live in December. “So, if she wants to keep pissin’ me off, and keep postin’ subliminal shady posts about me, she can keep goin’ because I will press charges if she doesn’t stop.” 

Kenleigh shared during her Q&A this week that she happens to have an upcoming court date due to an “idiot”; however, she didn’t confirm that the court date anything to do with Jenelle deciding to take legal action against her.

Despite everything mentioned above, Kenleigh also used her Q&A as an opportunity to share her favorite thing about David, which was actually a list of things, as she insisted it was “hard to name [one] thing”. 

“Ya know, I cahn’t ‘name one thing’ I like about David, eithah!”

According to Kenelle Kenleigh, David is not only “an encyclopedia,” but also “a hard believer in things” and “hardworking when he sets his mind for something to be done.” 

David was also praised by his boo for his tendency to notice the small things that “wouldn’t matter to most,” as well as his ability to do the right thing– a trait that seemingly doesn’t apply when David is dealing with children and/or pets. 

“He does right even though he knows he might get done wrong,” Kenleigh claimed. “He is vocal and speaks his mind. He owns up to things. 

“He loves whole heartedly,” she added.

  1. Any gal after “Well-Juhnelle”’s ex boooyfriends is a glutton for backlash, ruined of any reputable qualities and must be thirsty for clicks or Tv time, or some shit. Come on! Why the fuck else with these former swamp-queen soulmates?


  2. No matter how POS, deadbeat and worthless a man is, there will always be a desperate woman (or several, in David’s case) that will find him appealing.


  3. i don’t feel bad at all for immediately disliking her as soon as they came out in a relationship, not that he’s a prize but david seriously downgraded BAD since his second baby mama, google her and you’ll be shocked too 😂


  4. Her ~list of things she likes about David comes right out of a 6th graders diary entry about her first crush. Does she pluck petals while saying he loves me, he loves me not as well? This girl is embarrassing.


  5. Well good, hopefully he becomes one less menace to society. Nothing has changed with Jenelle but maybe David won’t do anyone anymore damage. That’s a win.


  6. Jenelle is undoubtedly seething.

    Both exes have really definitely moved on.. and she has.. the guy who hands out concert flyers on the street.


    1. And according to Daniel’s supposed actual girlfriend, Janelle and Daniel aren’t even intimate 🤣Janelle left the home she owns to rot and chase Daniel (I’m picturing the scene with Janelle running after a car Kieffer was riding in). It’s a pretty even tie whether Janelle, David or Nathan are the biggest POS. All so awful to all living beings around them.


      1. So what is he there for? Can’t be her dazzling personality.

        She has no career to manage.
        And OF doesn’t count. That’s literally uploading blowhole pics.

        Free housing? Free car? Surely he could pick up extra shifts distributing flyers and buy himself his own..
