‘Couldn’t be more excited for this new chapter in our life,’ he gushed alongside his post, while Jena cutely referred to herself and the singer as ‘mom and dad’.

Fans have become pretty obsessed with the pair’s whirlwind romance, ever since Jason confirmed he and Jena were an official item last year.

Who is Jason Derulo’s girlfriend Jena Frumes?

Jena is a model and social media influencer from New Jersey, who owns her own clothing collection called Minding My Business and is now based in LA.

Fans may recognise Jena, who grew up with a foster family, from starting out on US series Wild N’ Out hosted by Nick Cannon. Since then, however, she’s racked up a huge 4million plus followers on both Instagram and TikTok.

Jena is also an avid YouTuber with her own channel, where she shares videos on everything from fitness and life updates to pranks with boyfriend Jason and her best beauty tips.

In January, Jena officially hit over 100,000 subscribers and the feat was recognised by YouTube, who sent the vlogger a commemorative plaque.

Jen said at the time: ‘So grateful for all 100k+ subscribers💛 Thanks to @youtube for recognizing this milestone ✨Thank you to every subscriber and person who contributed to the growth of my channel! New video up now!’

When did Jason Derulo and Jena Frumes first start dating?

Jason and Jena first went public with their relationship in March last year, when they started appearing in each other’s social media posts, but it’s believed they began dating a few months before.

At the time, a source had told The Sun: ‘Jason and Jena hadn’t been together too long before the lockdown started but they decided to take the plunge and they are loving it.’

The insider added: ‘They’re both outgoing, lively and spontaneous, so they’re a really good match. For a while, Jason didn’t want to be stuck down in a relationship, especially when performing around the world, but this just felt right.’

Jason and Jena, who both share a huge love for fitness. actually met at high-end gym Equinox and it was Jason who made the first move.

Speaking to Page Six in August, the artist revealed: ‘We both have a similar desire to work out all the time and I had seen her once there before. Then the second time, I was like, “Aight. Imma go talk to her,” and the rest is history.’

Naturally, the pair almost immediately went on to become TikTok superstars as soon as their relationship was revealed.

Our personal favourites? Jena attempting to dance to Cardi B’s WAP and Jason kicking her in the swimming pool. And Jena progressively jumping on Jason’s back so much so that she was casually left standing on his shoulders.

When did Jason Derulo and girlfriend Jena Frumes announce they’re having a baby?

Jason and Jena both confirmed news they’re starting a family together on social media at the end of March, while on holiday together in the Bahamas.

The duo are gearing up to reveal the gender of their baby, with the help of the resort they’re holidaying at, with Jason telling fans ahead of the reveal: ‘Big day, we’re finding out the gender tomorrow… I already know what it is, I think it’s a boy because the stomach is sitting kind of low and it looks like a ball.’

Jena, however, was convinced it was a girl, telling her boyfriend: ‘I heard that when you’re hungry and moody, it’s a girl.’

Watch this space, eh.
