‘Let me tell you, on night one of the lockdown, we had a really romantic night of being together, real sweet with my fiancé,’ she said.

Jenny, 38, then stood up to show off her baby bump for the camera while wearing a fitted black dress.
‘It’s different. I feel different,’ she joked. ‘Um, how have the exact last nine months been? They’ve been real pregnant for me.’
