Jenna announced her pregnancy January 25 and has since shared several updates on her progress over the last five months. On January 19, she revealed her boyfriend's identity, explaining she wanted to keep it private because "it’s hard when there are people out there who have made it their goal to make sure I can’t be happy."
She wrote about her boyfriend, "I met him a year ago, and now I can’t imagine life without him. He has shown me what it’s like to be with a real man. With real morals. And with an unselfish and loving heart, and I’m never going back😅"
