Former Teen Mom star Jenelle Evans’ estranged husband, David Eason’s ex, just suffered a tragic loss. Olivia Leedham’s seven-year-old daughter, Lailah, shockingly passed away, and it was unclear if Jenelle or David would reach out. So, what did Jenelle have to say to Olivia? Keep reading for more details.
Jenelle Evans Sends Message To David’s Ex Amid Tragedy
A few days ago, David Eason’s ex, Olivia Needham, unexpectedly lost her seven-year-old daughter. This rocked Olivia’s world, and she is still connected to the Teen Mom alum. Olivia and David share an eleven-year-old son, Kaden, although it is unclear if he sees his father. At the same time, David was married to Jenelle Evans, so Olivia was likely a part of her life, as well. When Olivia’s daughter passed, a GoFundMe was set up, but no one knew if David or Jenelle would reach out to the family. Now, Jenelle has spoken, but what has she said?

Jenelle sent her heartfelt condolences out to Olivia and stated she could not imagine going through this:
“I share all my condolences and my prayers out to David’s ex because I can just not imagine how she feels right now.”
David and Jenelle tied the knot in 2017 after dating for roughly two years. They then split a handful of times after David shot and killed the family dog, and rumors of infidelity circulated. The final straw was when he allegedly assaulted Jenelle’s teenage son, Jace, causing him to flee his mother’s home. In 2024, Jenelle announced she and David had split and moved with her children to Las Vegas.
The former Teen Mom star and David Eason share one daughter, Ensley. However, Jenelle maintains that he does not make an effort to reach out to Ensley. As Jenelle talked more about the loss of Lailah, and continued to send prayers:
“My prayers and condolences go out to her and I just can’t imagine how she feels right now.”
Genuine Prayer From The Teen Mom Alum?
Since Jenelle Evans was asked about Lailah’s passing, did Teen Momfans believe she was genuine in the prayers that she sent? Moreover, would she have spoken out had she not been asked about the situation? Many followers weighed in on what they thought and Jenelle’s true motivation. They actually were not mad at Jenelle but rather the interviewer who gave her this question to read off of a card. It was deemed sick and insensitive:
Yeah so this is not okay! Why is that little girl even being brought up? The world is sick
Whoever put that card in there for her to read really needs to be held accountable. For one that doesn’t involve Janelle regardless she was with him or not. That was irrelevant to her being there
I would have never freaking read that! I’d throw that card straight away! How disrespectful!
She shouldn’t speak about the family.Tjey probably don’t have anything do with her..But that’s her kids family..But I don’t think she should speak about it
Some felt that it was also wrong for Jenelle Evans to speak on any children given her histiry with her own kids. Her son, Jace, went to live with his father in Florida not too long ago but has since come back to Las Vegas and his two siblings. She has also been busy planning a divroce party when Jace was crying out for help.
