Intimacy and "The Ick"

Actress Justine Lupe, who stars in the series, shared her perspective that she hadn't experienced "the ick" with someone she was in love with. However, Jenna, who has children with Henry - Mila, 11; Poppy, 9; and Hal, 5 - questioned this. She emphasized that while there are moments of "the ick," there are far more positive aspects in a long-term relationship. Henry and Jenna's marriage has been in the public eye, and Jenna is often open about her personal life.When discussing Henry's unexpected proposal while she was on a hike, Jenna shared the story. She was "cranky" but eventually stopped to enjoy the moment when he proposed. This shows another side of their relationship and how it has evolved over time.In May, Jenna also reflected on not dating enough before marrying Henry in her mid-20s. She realized the importance of having those dating experiences and having fun while you can. She and Henry have built an incredible life together, but she still values the lessons learned from dating.Long-term relationships are complex, and "the ick" is just one aspect that couples may face. Jenna's openness about these experiences provides valuable insights for others and shows that even in long marriages, there are still things to learn and grow from.
