Back In October 2019, Jenelle had filed a restraining order against David and accused him of abuse, according to TMZ. This came on the heels of her two children being removed from her care after David shot and killed the family dog for biting their then 2-year-old daughter, Ensley Jolie Eason.
The couple had split after the incident, but got back together in March.
Jenelle also shares son Kaiser, 5, with ex Nathan Griffith and son Jace, 10, with ex Andrew Lewis. David also has a teenage daughter, Maryssa, from a previous relationship.
