He shared that Everly likes to play tic-tac-toe together and says the 5-year-old “has an uncanny ability to win Candyland approximately 80% of the time.” The father also has set up “obstacle courses in the backyard, which we run against each other and time.”

While the former couple has yet to settle on a custody agreement, Jenna's attorney, Samantha Spector, told The Blast, “We look forward to resolving these matters in a timely and straightforward way. Nothing in the world matters more to Jenna than the comfort and well-being of her daughter Everly. Everything Jenna has done and will continue to do is with that in mind.”
