At the time Evans gave birth to son Jace in 2009, she was unable to provide for him financially, so her mother took custody. Years later, after failing to regain custody of the child, Evans welcomed her second baby, Kaiser, who was born in June of last year.
“I’m so busy with school and my externship," Evans continued. "I’m trying to tell my mom, my lawyer, and everyone, I’m like, ‘Look, I know Jace is important right now, but, you know, my graduation is coming up in July.’ So I mean, that is just, it’s the no. 1 priority right now.”
