Jenna Ronan's story began as a young mother on the hit TLC show, "Unexpected," which premiered in 2017.

Jenna, along with her then-boyfriend, Aden Albright, became a central focus, sharing their experiences as they prepared for the arrival of their son, Luca.

Their journey captivated audiences, leading to their appearances in the first two seasons.
