‘ son Jace is once again living with her in Las Vegas, after a short (and disastrous) attempt at living with his father .

On Wednesday, the fired  star confirmed ‘s report that Jace was no longer living in Florida with his dad, despite Jenelle’s previous claims that father and son were doing great and that Jace’s transition to life with his long-lost dad was “smooth.” 

In an interview with Us Weekly, Jenelle admitted that Jace is back in Vegas and living at Casa de Jenelle. 

“He’s back at home with me,” she said. “He’s doing good. He has his ups and downs, like regular teenagers, but he’s going through life learning life lessons.”

As The Ashley previously told you, Jenelle sent Jace to Andrew’s home in Florida sight-unseen and didn’t personally go check out the living accommodations and situation that her 15-year-old would be staying in. Although she was assured by Andrew and his family that Andrew had “changed,” The Ashley’s source in Florida told her that was not the case and that “the situation at Andrew’s home was not good.”

“Andrew is in no way in the position to be raising a kid, especially one who barely knows him and didn’t want to be there in the first place,” the source told The Ashley last week. “Jace lasted less than two weeks with Andrew… Andrew is not mature enough to raise a child by any means.”

In her new interview, Jenelle talked about how the living arrangement for Jace bombed.

“Jace is like, ‘I want to be back home’ so Jace is home and he’s doing fine,” she said. “He’s enjoying summer at the house.”

She did state that Andrew didn’t turn out to be the stellar parent that Jace had hoped for. 

“Andrew, he’s had his problems with alcohol since Jace has been a baby,” Jenelle said. “So that was the big contributing factor. Jace just really needed to see it for himself. But then I thought [Andrew] changed and he didn’t. And we found that out and Jace came back home.”

As ‘Teen Mom’ fans know, Andrew had not really had much to do with Jace (aside from sending a regular child support payment) for the majority of the boy’s life, up until last year. Father and son began communicating via text, but did not know each other very well when Jace was sent to live with Andrew. (As The Ashley previously told you, Jace did not want to go live with Andrew.) 

“The time had to come where he met his dad and he did it, and he sees the true colors that I’ve been saying for years, but Jace didn’t want to believe me and my mom,” Jenelle told the magazine. 

While doing the interview about Jace, Jenelle claimed that she is “trying to keep him very private.”

“Everyone’s, like, begging for that information and I keep tellin’ him, ‘I’m giving Jace his space,'” she said. “I’m not trying to put a camera in front of his face. I’m not trying to put all his business out there. His business has been out there since he’s been a baby, and he had no choice. So right now, it’s really important for him to just keep to himself.”
