Her upcoming marriage to the former soccer player makes it Jana's fourth. She was first married to Michael Gambino, though the marriage both started and ended in 2004, then Johnathon Schaech from 2010 to 2011, and finally Mike, the father of her two kids, from 2015 until 2021.
Further detailing the proposal on her podcast, she explained to listeners that she and Allan had hosted a small pool party, and as the night came to an end, he suggested they go take a walk up to the new house they are building together.
"It was a really beautiful night, and me and the kids were all sitting… on the front porch of the steps, and just looking out at the view," she said, before revealing: "And he said my name, and I got up or whatever and then he got down on one knee, and Jolie just started jumping up and down. It was the cutest thing ever, it's like she knew what was happening."
She recalled she "kind of blacked out," though not too much to fail to remember Allan telling her: "You're the love of my life."
She continued: "We just both started crying, and it felt very sentimental given the front porch of the new house, new beginnings. It just felt right," adding: "It was perfect. We were actually supposed to be in Jamaica but something happened with the resort so we ended up staying here, but honestly that's exactly what I would have wanted, [that it] was at the house. I don't need the roses and the whole glam setup."
