"Baby #2 on the way ❤️ We are pregnant and so excited and grateful," she wrote in an Instagram post, which was also a paid partnership with the diagnostic products company Clearblue. "It has been a journey, (I will share more soon) but in the meantime, enjoying this exciting time."

In an interview with People published Friday, Jenna recounted learning she was pregnant after taking a pregnancy test while on a trip to New York.

"And when pregnant came up, my jaw dropped," she told the publication. "I was shocked. And then overjoyed, of course."

Jenna welcomed her first child, a baby girl named Emma, in 2022. In November of that year, she posted an Instagram, explaining that she initially wanted to keep her daughter and her daughter's name offline.

"I do want to share her name with you, though," she wrote at the time. "I want to continue sharing my journey as a mother on here and your kindness and incredible support thus far has meant the world… so please meet our little girl, Emma ❤️."
