Jenna Petty, who’s been Burton’s girl since 2017, is currently hitting the books at High Point University and showing off her moves on the school dance team. Just recently, Burton got down on one knee with a sparkling diamond ring. He let the whole world know with an Instagram post featuring a trio of snaps, and a caption that read, “it has always been and will always be, you. 3.27.2024 💍.“
The first picture showed Burton and Petty sealing it with a kiss, the next flaunted the stunning ring he gave to Petty, and the last caught Burton in the moment, down on one knee. For those not in the loop about Jenna Petty, beyond being Burton’s other half, she’s also involved with the Motor Racing Outreach program.
The group, rooted in Christianity, aims to support the NASCAR crew, who can’t make regular church visits because of their jam-packed race calendars. Besides that and beyond her dance team duties, Petty’s also been rocking it as a brand ambassador for the dancewear outfit, Jo and Jax, since 2019.
