According to Screener TV, Jake and Jenna met at a festival in Seattle when Jenna asked Jake for an autograph. The outlet reported that was doing shipyard duty, and these people were coming up to get autographs. And among them were Jenna and her family jumped off the boat to come and get autographs from Jake and his mates. Jake had then autographed “You’re beautiful.”
