The reality TV favourite returned to Instagram to mark her 28th birthday on Thursday and posted a stunning snap of herself in a yellow jumper.

Jenelle quoted the lead singer of rock band My Chemical Romance, Gerard Way, in the touching birthday tribute to herself.

“Sometimes you have to kind of die inside in order to rise from your own ashes and believe in yourself and love yourself to become a new person,” she captioned the image.

Yesterday, Jenelle also tweeted some meaningful advice, encouraging her followers to “be yourself”.

“Ladies, don’t ever think u have to do anything extra for people to like you. Just be yourself,” she wrote.

The mum-of-three is lining up new projects and focusing on “self-care” two months after she walked out on Eason, a pal revealed.

Jenelle filed for divorce on Halloween after two years of marriage and has accused him of abuse.

She announced the news on Instagram, saying: “The kids and I have moved away from David.

“Nobody gets into a marriage expecting it to end but I know that’s what is best for me, and for my kids.”

On the same day of the announcement, Jenelle filed a restraining order request against David.

Jenelle listed 11 alleged incidents of David’s “abusive” and “violent” behavior from the restraining order.

She claimed in the order that she is “scared” for her life and for her “children’s well-being.”

Since Jenelle filed for divorce, Eason has taken to social media several times to vent, vowing that “the truth will come out” about their split.

Although he is forbidden from contacting his wife due to a restraining order, that hasn’t stopped him from blasting her on social media.

“All I can tell y’all right now is that I have tried to protect ppl [sic] and their reputation,” he wrote in an irate Facebook status. “But the truth will come out soon.”

The divorce and restraining order came after Eason shot and killed the family’s dog Nugget in April 2019.

David, who has two other children from previous relationships, admitted he killed the dog for nipping at their daughter Ensley.

The shooting resulted in Jenelle’s firing from Teen Mom 2.

Jenelle is staying single to focus on her three children, Jace, Kaiser and Ensley, amid her divorce.

A source exclusively revealed to The Sun Online that Jenelle, 28, is making her kids the priority by co-parenting well with ex-fiance Nathan Griffith, who is the father of her son Kaiser, five.

The Teen Mom 2 star moved to Nashville, Tennessee following the split, while Eason remains in North Carolina.

A source told The Sun Online: “She is doing well. She is not looking for anyone or running back to exes. She is living by herself and caring for her kids.”

The insider continued that Jenelle’s relationship with Nathan has been “productive and positive” despite their past nasty custody war.

The source added: “Nothing romantic is going on between Jenelle and Nathan. No line has been crossed.”
