Jenelle may have tied up her baby-makin’ pipes years ago, but the fired ‘Teen Mom’ star says she could be persuaded to spawn again…should the right convicted felon new soulmate come her way.
While making the rounds to promote her cringetastic “Divorce Party” in NYC last week, Jenelle stated that she is open to having more kids if she ended up with a man who wanted children of his own. The mother of three told E! News that, since her tubes are tied, she would have to go the scientific route to procreate again.
“My tubes are tied,” she said. “I mean, if I dated somebody and they didn’t have kids and they really wanted kids, I would consider IVF.”
(Interestingly, Jenelle’s former ‘Teen Mom’ co-star Mackenzie Douthit just gave birth to twins that were conceived via IVF because Mack had her tubes tied after having her third child years ago.)
Jenelle hasn’t had the best track record when it comes to mothering. She has lost custody of all of her kids at various points in their lives, although she currently has custody of all three kids. (She recently attempted to send her eldest son Jace to live with his father Andrew Lewis— who was absent for nearly all of Jace’s life. However, the 15-year-old only lasted with his dad a few weeks and is once again residing in Casa de Jenelle in Vegas.)
Back in April, Jenelle caused quite a commotion online when she wrote that she has to “force” herself to be a mother while attempting to defend herself for calling 911 on Jace.
“This post refers to all my business I’ve been doing lately and just getting behind because I force myself to be a mother before anything else, like I always have,” she wrote.
In her new interview with E! Jenelle stated that, although she is open to having more kids, “as of right now, I do not want anymore.”
Still, Jenelle insisted that whatever man she makes into her next soulmate must love children.
“If they’re not okay with my kids, that’s the number one thing I get out of the way,” she said. “…I’m looking for stability. I want him to have his career together and be ambitious—know what they want in life and family-oriented.
“He has to be a complete gentleman,” Jenelle insisted. “My standards are so high now. I want him to open my door, I want him to greet me with flowers. It’s going to take a lot to impress me now.”
