“After two years of infertility, and hundreds of negative tests after negative tests, it was heart wrenching at times to stay optimistic and made me question whether I would ever have this opportunity,” Jenna wrote. “I will go into more depth about our fertility journey a little later on, but if any of you out there are struggling to get pregnant, suffering from infertility, or mourning a pregnancy loss… don’t lose HOPE. It may not happen on your timeline and the journey may rip your heart open at times, but don’t give up on yourself and your precious baby! It will happen.”
And “auntie” JoJo Siwa, who was Jenna’s dance partner and the runner-up on last season of Dancing With the Stars, can’t wait to meet the little one.
“My sister! Oh my god, I am so happy for her,” the YouTuber told E! News July 16. “She’s obviously my family, my best friend. It’s so good. Her and Val have been waiting for a sweet little package like this and I’m very happy and grateful that they got it.”
