He underwent tests to determine what was causing the issue. Jenna claims a midwife thentold her the tot had tested positive for sexually transmitted disease gonorrhoea.

Jenna says she was told the infection would have been passed on by a parent before the tot was born. This left her wondering whether husband, Chris, 45, the frontman for a tribute rock band, had cheated on her.
