Personal life[]
She met Jordan Kimball on the 5th season of Bachelor in Paradise. They got engaged at the end of the show.
"Jordan, when I first met you I was scared of love and happiness, fearful of letting someone see all of me, because I didn’t know if I deserved that great love. Your love has made me feel alive again. You swept me off my feet and you slayed all of my demons without hesitation. And you patiently waited for me to come to the realization that you’re all I’ve ever wanted. The one person that could inspire me to open my heart again. I love you so much and I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you." - Jenna to Jordan before the proposal.
"Jenna, since you walked into Paradise I thought you were the prettiest girl in the world. You’ve taught me to believe in love at first sight. Fighting for you was the most confident thing I’ve ever done and that’s why I feel like we can take on the world together. You truly made me the lucky one and I can’t wait to build a family and to make all of your dreams come true. I’m a “one gal” type of guy and that one girl for me is you. Jenna Cooper, I’m madly in love with you. Will you marry me?" - Jordan proposing to Jenna.
Since the show, Jordan has ended the engagement when text messages of her relationship with another man surfaced. Jenna continues to say that they are fabricated, but Jordan believes in his heart that they are not.
She got engaged to Karl Hudson IV on June 9, 2021, and they married on April 4, 2022. Their first child, Presley Belle, was born on May 30, 2020. Their second child, Holland, was born on February 15, 2025.
