After being hailed the "Sexiest Woman in the Country" last year, the 28-year-old mom is back, but this time, she's taking over the airwaves.
She recently released her second studio album after two years, indulging her passion for music yet again.
Her 8-year-old son Jazz may have inherited his father's looks but he's taking after his mom when it comes to his love for music.
"Si Jazzy mahilig siya sa beats, mahilig siya mag-tap, feeling ko kailangan ko pa siya pag-aralin ng drums,"Jennylyn told theAsianparent at the recent launch of her second album. "Kasi mahilig siya mag-tap at mahilig siya mag-hum. Maririnig mo yung tono niya. Tama yung tono so magugulat ako na parang 'ay, buti naman!' so yun masaya kami, masaya kami na gusto ng bata yung hilig ko din."
At the same press con, she told PEP that she wants to get married by the time she turns 35,
"Malayo pa po. Siguro mga six years," reiterated Jennylyn, preferring not to reveal too much about her relationship with Dennis Trillo. "Hindi pa ngayon, matagal na matagal pa."
As for Jazz, he isn't really looking forward to having a sibling. "Seloso yun," revealed Jennylyn.
If she does have another child, however, she'd prefer it if she were married already. "Dapat ngayon, tama na," she said.

Back in March 2016, Jennylyn confirmed that she and actor Dennis Trillo are exclusively dating.
"Ayaw na lang namin siyang masyadong i-broadcast, kasi mas maganda 'yong tahimik. Mas maganda 'yong parang wala lang," she said in an interview with Yes! magazine. "Hindi pa natin alam kung anong mangyayari."
"Hindi ako nagmamadali," stated Jennylyn when asked if she and Dennis have talked about settling down. "Unahin ko po muna ang anak ko."
When asked how her first single off of her second album applies to her life, she said: "Masaya naman po ako sa kahit anong baitang ng buhay, kung ano man ang ibigay."
