Speculation surrounding the relationship of former MTV reality star Jenelle Evans and her husband David Eason has intensified with reports hinting at an impending divorce. 

Evans, known for her role on 'The Teen Mom,' has reportedly taken a significant step amidst divorce rumors by allegedly expelling Eason and his 16-year-old daughter, Maryssa, from their North Carolina home. Despite recent reports suggesting the end of their marriage, followers of their tumultuous relationship remain wary, recalling multiple instances of apparent splits followed by reconciliations.

According to exclusive details obtained by The US Sun, the sequence of events leading to David and Maryssa's expulsion from their residence, dubbed "The Land" by fans, unfolded dramatically. Sources close to the situation reveal that tensions began escalating in mid-February, prompting Jenelle to take decisive action.

David, 35, reportedly stayed on Jenelle's boat over a week, but matters intensified on Monday, February 19, leading to a confrontation. The situation reportedly reached a tipping point when Jenelle informed Maryssa via text message that her presence in the house was no longer welcome, citing her father's absence.

Allegedly emphasizing her new priorities, including custody arrangements for her son, Jace, Jenelle confronted Maryssa in person the next night, instructing her to vacate the premises by morning.
