She shared an Instagram post on July 2, 2025, announcing the arrival of their baby girl, named Penelope. The reality TV star wrote:
“baby Penelope is here & she is perfect. Going unmedicated was truly the most painful but empowering experience of my life. I could not have done it without Zac and my supportive doula! I’m so grateful and so happy that Penny is earth side now.”
The pictures in her social media post showed her cradling her newborn as she hugged her mother. Jen and Zac are already parents to a 23-month-old son named Lucas and a 3-year-old daughter named Nora.
The duo reportedly faced many marital troubles and spent some time apart after their infamous Chippendales blowout. However, they reportedly reconciled in the following months and have now moved on from their past.
Let us understand more about their relationship.
Exploring the relationship between Zac and Jennifer Affleck
Jennifer Affleck, who was known as Jennifer Lynn before her marriage to her husband, Zac Affleck, met him on a Mormon dating app, called Mutual, in 2018, according to a report in People magazine.
After dating for a year, the couple got engaged in January 2019 when Affleck proposed to her at the Top of the Rock in New York City. Jennifer Affleck was 18 at that time, while Zac was 21. Five months later, they decided to walk down the aisle on June 28, in an LDS temple in Newport Beach, California, per Moviedelic.
They welcomed their first child, Nora Affleck, in November 2021, and two years later, they were blessed with their second child, their son, Lucas Lowell Affleck. He was born in August 2023.
Their marriage experienced challenges, but despite having a hard time, the couple stuck together. In an Instagram post, Jennifer Affleck reflected on their lifetime journey together. She wrote:
“We were just kids when we got married. Young, naive, and inexperienced, we truly had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. Coming from completely different backgrounds, families, and upbringings, it didn’t seem to make sense. We were polar opposites.”
She concluded her post by adding:
“No matter what the world may say, I truly believe that God knows what’s best for me, my family, and my marriage.”
She wrote in her post how Zac gifted her her first laptop when he had $10 in his bank account. He trained her when she expressed her desire to run a marathon. She added that he brought her a camera when she wanted to start videography and brought their first house when they were expecting their first baby.
She shared that they do have difficult times in their marriage, but they both are willing to work it out as they both deeply love and respect each other. The couple has been regularly sharing about their lives on social media, which also includes their children.
