Early in the charter season, Jenna began to butt heads with her second and third stews, Madison Stalker and Georgia Grobler. Jenna wasn't much of a coddler when it came to her stews and would often be quite hard on them if they weren't doing their jobs up to her standards. However, Georgia made peace with Jenna, while Madison wasn't so forgiving. When it was time for the reunion, Madison was still upset about how Jenna treated her throughout the season. As one of the best reality TV shows, it's unsurprising that the Below Deck franchise's inaugural season was filled with drama.

Jenna And Adam Are No Longer On Speaking After BDSY

After departing the yacht in Greece, Jenna left with Adam, and the two traveled around the country together in a van. Unfortunately, Jenna and Adam had broken up by the BDSY reunion. The two were still speaking then, but their status has changed. During an appearance on Another Below Deck Podcast, the chief stew itted that she and the chef are no longer on speaking . The former couple even went as far as to unfollow each other on Instagram. Jenna may still be searching for true love, but that doesn't stop her from working hard in the yachting industry. After taking a short break in British Columbia amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Jenna headed to Florida.

Jenna Got Married After BDSY

According to her @jennathemac Instagram, Jenna did a few charters in Mexico, The Bahamas, and Florida. However, she recently spent some time in Rhode Island and could have also done a charter there. Aside from Jenna's several charters, she also started a podcast called Wild Loner. Excitingly, Jenna also tied the knot in a beautiful wedding to Dave Cartmill in the summer of 2023. While she keeps up her independent spirit, she now works in social work in Canada.

Since appearing on Below Deck Sailing Yacht, Jenna has thrived in her new career and married the love of her life. Even though she had a difficult first season, she is ed as a favorite cast member. If she comes back to the show, she may redeem herself. Luckily, if she ever returns, there's little chance of her getting distracted by a chef.

What Is Jenna Up To In 2024?

Since appearing on Below Deck Sailing Yacht in 2020, Jenna has kept mostly a low profile since her season ended. Jenna's Instagram page has rarely been updated, even in 2024, so far, she's only posted four times to her grid. Her first post in 2024 is a video of Jenna recording what it looked like outside her bedroom. The video shows a massive amount of snow on the ground and falling from the sky. Seeing as Jenna is from Canada, it's no surprise that she would have to deal with an abnormal amount of snowfall. She captioned the magical video, "I live in a snow globe."

Jenna's other Instagram posts include pictures with her family and her husband of over a year, Dave. The two tied the knot during the summer of 2023, and the pair have proved their love for each other since. Over the summer, Jenna visited Canada's Wonderland, an amusement park just outside of Toronto, Ontario, where she went with her husband. Jenna also had other fun adventures over the summer, all of which were in the Toronto area. Jenna is originally from just outside of Toronto, so she didn't have to travel far for her summer adventures.

Jenna has put her yachting days behind her, especially her time as a cast member on Below Deck Sailing Yacht. She had a rough time during that season, plus it didn't get the fan reception the newer seasons have since received. Overall, Jenna is much happier after appearing on reality TV.

Will Jenna Ever Return To Below Deck?

Jenna has not made a return to the Below Deck franchise since her initial appearance in Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 1, and there has been no official confirmation that she will appear in the future. During her time on the show, she was known for her romance with Chef Adam, which was mentioned earlier, and her management style, which sparked mixed reactions from the crew and viewers. After Below Deck Sailing Yacht came to an end, Jenna stepped away from reality TV and remained out of the public eye, focusing on her personal life.

In various interviews and social media updates, Jenna has hinted that she is happy with her decision to move on, suggesting that a return is unlikely. Additionally, the show has since introduced new Chief Stews, such as Daisy Kelliher, who has become a fan favorite and a regular fixture on the show. With the franchise continuing to evolve and prioritize newcomers, the chances of Jenna returning seem unlikely.

However, the Below Deck franchise is known for occasionally bringing back past cast , so while it’s not impossible, it does not appear to be in the cards as of April 2025. Unless Jenna expresses an interest in returning or the show decides to shake things up, viewers will likely have to settle for rewatching Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 1 to relive her time aboard Parsifal III.
