Ahead of his birthday on August 2nd, Jenelle, 30, gave her tween an “early” present.
The Teen Mom 2 alum kickstarted her series of Instagram Stories with a snapshot of the dirt bike.
The MTV star bought him an Apollo RFZ Z40 dirt bike, which is estimated to cost up to $2,000.
She wrote: “Happy Early Birthday to Jace.”
In the next Story, the shirtless teenager had on his denim jeans and helmet as he hopped onto his bike.

THE COMMENTS
Teen Mom fans were not thrilled with the MTV Mom for giving a “dangerous” and “cheap-looking” present to her son, who was deemed “too young.”
One fan wrote: “This feels like a bad idea. Here Jace, have this cheap dirt bike.”
Another fan added: “She could’ve at least got him a decent used one other than this cheap crap.”
A third fan mentioned: “Bold of her to buy a chi-old a dangerous vehicle.”
A fourth person chimed in and warned: “I actually bought this specific bike last year after looking for months. There is no inventory for used bikes right now.”
DEFENDING HIS SON
Recently, Jenelle’s ex Nathan defended his eight-year-old boy after trolls body-shamed him.
Nathan – who works as a personal trainer – dealt with a troll who said mean-spirited words about the boy’s appearance.
In a scathing post, he offered advice to his son and wrote: “Kaiser buddy… I hate to say this, but, you’ll have people like this your whole life.
“The people who think they deserve more, the people who think they are better, the people that don’t have a loving father, the people that are jealous, the people with dark souls and so many more people that are bitter.”

He concluded: “I love you Kai, and I think you are perfect!”
Nathan has moved on and married May Oyola in April.
