Emery Lauren Griffith is the daughter of Nathan Griffith. She is half-sister to Jenelle and Nathan's son Kaiser Griffith.
Emery was born to Nathan and his ex-wife, Allison on January 18, 2011. At some point in her life, Emery's parents separated and divorced. In June 2013, Nathan met and dated Jenelle Evans while she was in the process of divorcing from her estranged husband. Nathan and Jenelle moved very quickly into their relationship, as they got an apartment two months into dating and then they considered trying for a baby. After a positive pregnancy test turned out to be false, Jenelle and Nathan tried again for a baby. Emery met Jenelle and her son, Jace Evans at some point and Emery would even stay over occasionally to spend more time with her father, but this plan was eventually stopped for unknown reasons, most likely; because Nathan and Jenelle began to argue constantly, even after Jenelle fell pregnant with Nathan's child back in October 2013. Nathan filed for joint custody in the spring of 2014, but because of his criminal charges, his visitation with Emery was limited and later supervised at a contact centre. On June 29, 2014, Jenelle gave birth to Kaiser, who Emery eventually met, but the two siblings didn't see each other often.
Since the split with Jenelle and Nathan in 2015, Nathan has been able to clear his criminal charges and has now been given access to have unsupervised visitation with Emery, as this was spoken about briefly between Nathan and Barbara Evans; Jenelle's mother.
In May of 2022, Emery's father remarried to a model. In 2023, Nathan was arrested for assault and strangulation of his own sister and because of this, his visitation rights to Emery and Kaiser have been minimised prior to his history of domestic violence and assault.
