Harrison Burton and his fiancée, Jenny Petty, were reported to have been dating since 2017. They announced their engagement on social media on March 27, 2024. Jenna recently answered her fans' queries when she revealed when the wedding will happen and reflected on when she first met the former Wood Brothers Racing driver.

They were headed back home from a recent road trip with Jenna in the passenger seat. To kill some time and engage with her fanbase, she began a Q&A on her Instagram stories.

A fan was mesmerized by the 'cute' couple and asked when they met and began dating. Jenna revealed that she and Harrison Burton went to the same school, but never knew each other until a double date. The 22-year-old elaborated and wrote.

"We grew up going to the same school but never knew each other. We first talked on a double date, that we didn't go on for each other (lol), but ended up falling for one another & have been inseparable ever since I was 15 and he was 16," she responded.
