‘The Challenge’ Alums Jenna Compono, Zach Nichols Expecting Baby No. 4: ‘3 Kids Wasn’t Chaotic Enough’
Former stars of The Challenge Jenna Compono and Zach Nichols are adding another baby to their brood! The couple revealed they’ll welcome baby No. 4 later this year.
“Because 3 kids wasn’t chaotic enough,” Jenna, 32, wrote via Instagram on January 25. “Baby #4 coming August 2025.”
In the photo the reality star shared, the couple’s three children sat below balloons in the shape of the numbers “1,” “2,” and “3” with a picture of an ultrasound and sign that read, “Coming soon,” below the number “4.”
Several of Jenna and Zach’s MTV costars offered up their congratulations in the comments section.
“Keep ‘em coming! Go for a nice baker’s dozen,” wrote Mark Long, who made his reality TV debut in the first season of Road Rules in 1995.
Kailah Casillas jokingly asked, “When ya buying the school bus? So happy for you.”
Jenna and Zach, 37, first met in 2015 when they both starred in The Challenge: Battle of the Exes 2. In December 2019, Zach got down on one knee and proposed to Jenna and she happily accepted. They officially tied the knot in March 2021 during a small ceremony surrounded only by their close friends and family due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The couple shared the news via Instagram at the time, writing, “We decided to have a mini personal wedding with just our immediate family in [Michigan].”
They added that they would be having a second ceremony that included more people.
In April 2022, Jenna walked down the aisle in front of a much bigger crowd after waiting over a year to celebrate her and Zach’s big day.
“Knowing that we were already married it made it less stressful and more of a big party — everyone was excited and happy and ready to party!” Jenna told Us Weekly in an article published on April 4, 2022. “This wedding was so special to me because it was in my home state and most of my friends and family were able to attend. I always wanted a crazy big wedding, so it was really great being able to have such an important life event at home.”
She added that the large celebration was “worth the wait.”
“It’s something you really only get to do once, so I wanted everything the way I imagined it and thanks to my planner, Kristin from Eventful Days, our wedding exceeded my expectations,” the soon-to-be mom of four told the outlet.
In the time between their first and second weddings, Jenna and Zach had welcomed their first child together, a son, Anthony. Having the little one present on their big day made things even more special for the couple.
“[He] stood up at the altar with Zach and then my dad walked me down [the aisle],” Jenna explained. “[My dad] gave me away to Zach and took Anthony with him.”
It wasn’t long before the former MTV stars welcomed a new addition. In December 2022, Jenna gave birth to daughter Liliana. Less than a year later, Zach and Jenna announced that baby No. 3 was on the way and on February 25, 2024, they welcomed another little girl, Carmella Jean.
