Jenna has defended her support of Scientology over the years, stating her belief has made her and her husband's marriage stronger and told People it was "a huge part of what helps keep our communication going." She also said the ongoing criticism the religion faces is something she's tired of tolerating.

“The controversy is boring," Jenna told Us Weekly in March 2020. "It’s nothing to me. I know what I know, and how much it helps me.”
