Joking that she is “the surprise and the prize” in Kenny’s life, JaNa insists on keeping mum but says she also has something up her sleeve.

“I do have something special for him, always,” she shares.

Although Kenny hasn’t technically asked JaNa to be his valentine this year, she says she has “been DMing cute ways” to do it for weeks.

“So, maybe today or tomorrow,” she says. “Maybe while we’re ordering at Cane’s he’ll ask me, who knows.”
