"I said YES! Easiest decision ever, and Presley agrees," Jenna captioned a slideshow of photos from her romantic beach engagement Wednesday on Instagram.
"Love my little family so much, and excited to marry my best friend! Karl is everything I ever wanted in a man and more. This is the best birthday, and I'm so overwhelmed with joy. Can't wait to be your wife @kghudson4!"

Jenna and Karl went public with their relationship in January 2020 and announced they had welcomed their first child into the world later that year, according to Us Weekly.
After the couple got engaged, Jenna showed off her beautiful round-cut diamond on her Instagram Stories.
"Haha just wondering when my hands will stop shaking," Jenna reportedly wrote. "It's perfect, @KGHudson4! Love you!!"
Other surprises Jenna received on her birthday and engagement-celebration day included a pendant necklace, "birthday crepes," a trip to the spa, and a poolside champagne toast.
Jenna competed on Season 22 of The Bachelor starring Arie Luyendyk Jr. in 2018 and finished in ninth place.

Jenna and Jordan got engaged during the Bachelor in Paradise season finale in Summer 2018, but they broke up shortly after the finale aired on television over a he-said, she-said scandal in which Jenna had been accused of cheating.
Jordan later returned to Mexico for Bachelor in Paradise's sixth season in 2019, but his stint didn't last long due to a physical altercation he had with cast member Christian Estrada.
Jordan later moved on with Christina Creedon, a woman he met at the airport in Los Angeles when he offered to help the blonde beauty with her luggage.

Jordan popped the question to Christina before Christmas Eve mass in 2020 with her family at Christina's church in Texas. The couple reportedly plans to get married by the end of this year.
"I've never been more at peace, like, getting that ring, and you know, being so certain. You can really do so much with love in your heart," Jordan told Us after getting engaged.
"I try to tell folks, you know, hate is a great motivator but there's nothing like having love in your heart. What a highlight [for 2020], you know, and we made it together."
