He was previously married to his Glee co-star Melissa Benoist, 33, but their divorce was finalized in December 2017.

Jenner posted a response in October 2020 on Instagram in which he confirmed the abuse while revealing that he also had been physically abused during their marriage.
Without naming her in the statement, Jenner addressed a specific instance in which he threw his cell phone at a partner, causing an injury to her eye.
The actor admitted the incident occurred and said he has always regretted it.
‘I take full responsibility and accountability for the hurt that I inflicted during my relationship with my past partner – emotionally, mentally and yes, physically,’ he posted.
