“My worst first date involved the Secret Service, let’s just leave it at that,” the Love Comes First author said during a February 2021 Today episode. “It was with Henry, and his car ran out of gas and went backward and hit the Secret Service.”
Henry asked Jenna’s father for her hand in marriage during the 4th of July weekend in 2007. After receiving his blessing, the businessman proposed to his partner during a camping trip later that year.
