Is Jenna Elfman married?
Jenna has been married throughout most of her career. In 1991, she met Bodhi Elfman, who would eventually become her husband, in 1991 when they were both auditioning for a Sprite commercial. Four years later, they married in 1995. Her marriage to Bodhi introduced her to Scientology.
Jenna has been involved in multiple Scientology initiatives and was a keynote speaker at the Human Rights Hero Award event, organized by the Scientology-affiliated groups Youth for Human Rights International and Artists for Human Rights. Additionally, she co-hosted the 2008 Scientology-affiliated New York Rescue Workers Detoxification Project Charity Event.

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.”
While Jenna's stance on Scientology may be controversial to some, it hasn't broken her bank. The actor doesn't seem to be slowing down her acting roles anytime soon.
