Jenna announced her pregnancy in June.
The star, who played Tina Cohen-Chang on Glee from 2009 to 2015, announced the happy news People and said she was “excited to expand her family” with her husband of three years.
Jenna revealed how she found out: ‘I was on holiday in New York visiting my family at the time.
‘And as I was packing I had a Clearblue Early Digital pregnancy test in my cupboard and I thought I’d pack it just in case.
“So I packed it up and the day before we left the trip I thought, ‘There’s something very familiar about this feeling and just let me take this test.’ I did.
‘And when I got pregnant, my jaw dropped. I was shocked. And then very happy of course.
Discussing husband David’s reaction, she said: ‘He was upstairs, so he came down the stairs. I still had a shocked look on my face and he said, “No way.”
