Jenelle, who recently split from her fiance Nathan Griffith, currently lives with their son, Kaiser, in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, while Jace lives with Barbara about an hour away. The mom of two often posts photos of herself and her boys swimming at the nearby beaches, so it's crazy how close to home this news story hits for the MTV star.

Jenelle also took this opportunity to share a bikini selfie. The last one she posted was from her tropical vacation in January when she and Nathan got engaged, so clearly she was due for a new one.
