It's a family affair! Jenny brings in hubby Jason and his sister Chiara so she can explain how she got back with someone after 11+ years!
Chiara takes us through the beginning of her relationship that started with being setup and getting handed hard copies of the guy she would meet. While everything seemed great in the beginning, things started to get difficult and Chiara explains how the relationship began to break down. After on-and-off communication throughtout the years it wasn't until 2021, during a stressful time in Chiara's life, that she finds herself asking if it's time for a second chance with the man she swore she'd never love again.

Jenny Mollen is someone who was never supposed to be good at commitment. Being the child of multiple divorces, an actress, and a Gemini, she had everything working against her. She once had a two year relationship with the foreign exchange student from her high school only after he left her high school and was back living in another country.
When Jenny met her husband Jason, neither was looking for a relationship.They were young, naive, and had a lot more mistakes to make. It was most definitely NOT the time to commit themselves to a marriage that would go on to span the next fourteen years But, with a little luck and a whole lot of therapy, that is exactly what happened. Jenny still can’t believe she's found herself in a healthy functioning union. In fact, she’s still trying to piece together how it happened.
Third Wheel with Jenny Mollen will explore this topic and more as Jenny pries into the private lives of her friends and other notable couples each week to get a sense of how and why their relationships work. We are talking about power dynamics, triggers, issues and more. This isn’t a “how did you keep the spark alive?” kind of interview – this is a deep dive into the real life-struggles and triumphs that make couples tick.
