A year later, in February 2021, the couple announced they were expecting their first child together. In the caption of the post, Jenna explained the pair had to reschedule their wedding again but wanted to “start the next chapter” of their lives. Therefore, they decided to privately wed in a small March 2021 ceremony before welcoming Anthony Joseph in September of that year.
