David Eason‘s ex-girlfriend Olivia Leedham is in mourning after the death of her 7-year-old daughter, Lailah Price.
“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,” a GoFundMe page created for the Leedham family stated. “Olivia is a single mom to Kaden, age 11, and Lailah, age 7. Lailah was a bright light in our family and loved life and Jesus very much.”
According to an update from the fundraiser’s organizer, a funeral will be held this weekend. As of Thursday, June 12, more than $15,000 has already been raised.
Leedham has sole custody of her and Eason’s son, Kaden, after a court battle. Eason went on to marry Teen Mom alum Jenelle Evans in 2017 before divorcing in 2024. He was last linked to Kenleigh Heatwole.
While Eason has yet to publicly comment on his ex’s family tragedy, those close to Leedham are asking for support.
“Please keep this family in your prayers as they need them moving forward,” a GoFundMe update stated. Continue reading to learn more about Leedham:
