As a couple, she and David faced a number of challenges in their marriage. Their disagreements led to them filing for divorce in 2019, but they later settled their differences. Reports by Us Weekly indicate that the couple is still together as of right now. Evans also shares a child with Andrew Lewis.

Nathan Griffin's relationship status is still unknown, but his social media indicates he is currently focused on his children and their upbringing.
