David Eason’s ex-girlfriend Olivia Leedham’s daughter Lailah has died unexpectedly.
A friend of Leedham, who shares 10-year-old son Kaden with the Teen Mom alum, announced the tragic news in a GoFundMe which seeks support to cover living expenses for Leedham and her son over the next couple of months.
Leedham’s mom confirmed Lailah’s death to PEOPLE.
“Our friend Olivia Leedham tragically lost her beautiful seven-year-old daughter, Lailah Price, yesterday,” the GoFundMe description reads. “She was in the emergency room several times without a diagnosis, and while in the hospital Friday night, she had a seizure and passed away early Saturday morning, June 7th.”
“Olivia is a single mom to Kaden, age 10, and Lailah, age 7. Lailah was a bright light in our family and loved life and Jesus very much,” the description continues.

Leedham has sole custody of her and Eason’s son Kaden after a 2019 court battle. Eason married Jenelle Evans in 2017. The pair share daughter Ensley and went on to separate in 2019 before getting back together in 2020.
In 2024, Evans confirmed that she had officially split from Eason. She shared a TikTok and publicly announced the news with a video in which she shared, “I filed for separation.” She later posted another video explaining that she had to file for separation in the state of North Carolina before filing for divorce.
Evans had previously stood by her estranged husband over the years amid legal trouble. In May 2019, the influencer temporarily lost custody of her two younger children after Eason shot and killed their family dog for biting their then-2-year-old daughter in the face. That July, the reality star confirmed to PEOPLE she had regained custody of her son and daughter.
In November 2021, Eason also had a run-in with the law when he was caught driving with a revoked license and being in possession of an open container.
