On Tuesday, Jenna confirmed their engagement while appearing on “Sherri” with castmate Racquel Chevremont.
During the sit-down, Jenna and Sherri Shepherd chatted about rings, as well as Racquel’s engagement to Mel Corpus.
Sherri then complimented Jenna’s ring, saying, “I think you did well, Jenna — if that is an engagement ring.”
Jenna replied, “Yes, yes! When we were in the [jewelry] store, I was like, ‘That one is not big enough. Let’s [keep looking].’”
As for a wedding date, Jenna noted, “We’re working on that.”
Racquel is also working on a wedding date, but aiming for “early summer,” like June.
Jenna admitted, “I don't know if we're that close. But it's happening.”
Jenna and Cass made it Instagram official in June 2023.

A close source insisted that they weren’t engaged, telling People magazine, “She's not engaged. She's had that ring forever, and though it does look like an engagement ring, it's not."
Around the same time, Jenna then had people talking with her comments on “Watch What Happens.” She told Andy Cohen, “So basically, here’s the story. My girlfriend, who I adore, kept telling me that I had to button my shirt, and I said, ‘If you want me to button my shirt, you have to put a ring on it.’ We’re just really happy, and she gave me the ring that I wanted.”
