Evans and Griffith ended their engagement for a second time recently, the mom of two confirmed to Entertainment Tonight on Aug. 4. The couple first split in March, after the two got into a fight and police were called. They reunited in June, she told Us Weekly exclusively at the time.

Her most recent prior arrest came in May when police charged her with domestic violence after she allegedly attacked Griffith at his house. She claimed that he tried to run her over with his car. She was also arrested in February for driving without a license. Evans has been arrested numerous other times in the past.

The former couple share son Kaiser, 13 months. She also has son Jace, 6, from a previous relationship. The little boy is currently in the custody of her mother, Barbara. The MTV star has been trying to regain custody, a battle that MTV’s cameras have been documenting for Teen Mom 2.
