Harrison Burton and Jenna Petty have been together since 2017, solidifying their bond with an engagement in March 2024. Burton proposed in a picturesque setting near a stone bridge in Central Park, crafting a cherished moment. Petty, a High Point University graduate, showcases her passion for dance through her work with Dance Productions—The Remix.
The North Carolina native, Petty recently uploaded a series of memorable pictures with her mother on her Instagram story and praised her, whom she also considers her 'best friend'.
"Happy birthday mommy!!!! There is no one more beautiful inside and out, inspiring and kind, my best friend forever and my matron of honor for one of the best days of my life. So blessed to be close and so excited for this upcoming year together! Love you most!" Jenna Petty wrote
Here is a picture of Petty's family along with her fiancé Harrison Burton on Christmas last year. The post was captioned:
"Merry Christmas 🎄 love my family so much it hurts! blessed couldn’t cover it. today we celebrate the birth of Jesus for without him & his sacrifice we couldn’t have all that we do. I’m forever grateful… hope everyone enjoys today with the ones closest to them and that Santa treated everyone right!"
Meanwhile, the son of NASCAR Veteran Jeff Burton, Harrison Burton secured a spot in the 2024 Cup Series playoffs after securing a historic victory in the Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International Speedway, narrowly beating two-time Cup Series champion Kyle Busch. This marked his first Cup race victory and Wood Brothers Racing's 100th in the Cup Series.
However, Wood Brothers Racing and Burton parted ways after the season ended. He has since then found a full-time spot in the Xfinity Series piloting the #15 Ford for AM Racing, previously driven by Hailie Deegan.
