Highlighting how young they were when they wed - she 20 and he 22 - she acknowledged Zac had 'flaws that we've needed to address' but hailed him for giving her 'stability and freedom' and supporting her 'more than anyone else.'
Last year, while carrying Penny, she spent 11 days at a wellness retreat for the purposes of 'healing and working through trauma,' she wrote on Instagram. 'Not the pregnancy journey I expected, but definitely what baby and I needed.'
She had previously revealed that the combination of her pregnancy and the shoot of her reality show had proven a 'big challenge,' via People.
'After dealing with the backlash from season 1 and stepping into season 2 with a lot of baggage, this pregnancy has been the toughest,' she confessed.

In May 2025, the couple gave a joint interview in which Zac said they had undergone 'a lot of therapy' and become 'more of a team now,' on The Viall Files.
Zac revealed on the same podcast that he had decided to give up on medical school in order to 'support Jen in her career' and 'fight for my family.'
Penny was born last July, and two months later, Jen competed on Dancing with the Stars, with Taylor Swift's former backup dancer Jan Ravnik as her pro partner.
While promoting the competition show, she noted that 'having babies, postpartum depression, all of that can be really hard, but the way that I've been able to cope is through dancing,' via Entertainment Tonight.
