The former MTV star posted a photo of the celebration to her Instagram Stories.
The photo shows husband David Eason, 34, lighting candles on a pink birthday cake.
The cake has frosted writing: “Go Shorty, It’s Your Birthday” on the top, with her name written on the bottom.
Maryssa smiles up at her dad as his heavily tattooed hand lights the number 15 candles.
Jenelle captioned the post: “Maryssa turned 15 yesterday!!” with the mind blown emojis.
It has been a big birthday celebration month so far, as the former reality star recently celebrated her son Jace’s 13th birthday.

Jenelle showered her son with a massive cake and expensive dirt bike for his birthday.

A close-up in the video shows several layers of cake in the shape and design of motorbike tires, with dirt bike cake topper.
Writing on the cake in blue reads: “Happy 13th Birthday Jace.”
Another shot in the video shows Jace wearing a dirt bike outfit putting on his gloves.
“Honestly, I didn’t need to get a cake this big,” Jenelle is heard saying in the voice over as she cuts into the multiple layers of vanilla.
CAMERA SHY
Maryssa has asked Jenelle to not take photos of her for social media in the past.
However, Jenelle appears to not be listening to her wishes, as this is not the first time she has posted a photo of Maryssa to her social media accounts.
The reality stars recently recorded clips of their day at the Wilderness Run Alpine Coaster in Banner Elk, North Carolina.
In the video, Jenelle recorded her children Jace, 12, Kaiser, eight, and Ensley, five, as they boarded the rollercoaster for a ride.
David’s daughter, Maryssa, who he shares with his ex-wife Whitney Johnson was also present for the family outing.
In one short clip, the TV star filmed a selfie of herself while waiting her turn on the coaster, standing next to Jace.
In the background, Maryssa could be spotted with a grimace on her face as she shot her step-mom a dirty look.
Fans noticed the teen’s discomfort and took to Reddit to discuss the situation, several slamming Jenelle and David for not honoring her wishes.
“Marissa is looking at her like ‘why is this h** recording me?'” one noted, resharing the video.
“So Jenelle doesn’t post maryssa on social media when she’s at home because she wants privacy?
“But that privacy doesn’t extend to while on vacation? Idk this is just further evidence of my conspiracy theory that Maryssa no longer lives with them,” a second remarked.
“I love Maryssa standing in her power & not smiling/playing along with happy family swamp life for jenelle’s wide reaching social media influencer platforms,” another fan scathed.
PARENTING CRITICISM
David and Jenelle have faced their fair share of backlash regarding their various parenting decisions over the years.
The MTV star was slammed earlier this summer for appearing to put makeup on her five-year-old daughter Ensley’s face.
The controversial mom shared several selfies earlier with her youngest child on Instagram.
The MTV alum captioned the shots: “Wonder where she gets all her sass from twinning.”
While many fans praised the sweet photos, some claimed it looked like Ensley was wearing makeup.
Ahead of his birthday, Jenelle gave Jace his early birthday gift.
The former reality 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.
On a long stretch of empty road, Jenelle filmed her son as Jace raced his bike across.
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.”
