On a January 2019 episode of Teen Mom 2, fans learned that Andrew was once again trying to get close with Jace and, by extension, Jenelle. "I think about him every day,” Andrew said on an episode of the show. “I missed out his first day of school, I missed out all the good things. Is he smart? Is he intelligent? Is he having issues?"

But Jenelle had her concerns about suddenly letting him in and out of Jace's life, the way Jenelle's own father had been in and out of hers. Not to mention Jenelle's mom Barbara was concerned about Andrew's alleged drinking. A few years later, when Jace tried to run away from home a few times in 2023, Andrew tried to reach out to his son via video.

Unfortunately, it wasn't the healthiest relationship as it also was riddled with legal issues and drug problems. After all, Kieffer was arrested for allegedly running a meth lab. He accepted a plea deal on the matter, according to Us Weekly.

“I would’ve skipped straight to divorce but I couldn’t because in the state of North Carolina, you have to be legally separated for a year, and you have to prove you have two separate addresses,” Jenelle said in a TikTok video. “The problem with that is that neither of us wanted to leave, so whenever I had the window of opportunity that I was able to file for separation, I filed something called separation by bed and board.”
