Fans of Ransom Canyon<\/a> are no doubt excited to find out where Ellie Estevez and Yancy Grey\u2019s romance takes them when season 2 of the Netflix series premieres on Thursday, July 23. But offscreen, the actor behind Yancy is actually dating a different star from the show. Jack Schumacher<\/a> and Jennifer Ens, who plays Ashley Keo, began dating after meeting while filming season 1.<\/p>\n Now, Jack and Jennifer have not shared too much about this relationship themselves, but who knows, maybe season 2 will really take off and they\u2019ll be asked to comment on it in a bunch of interviews. For now, we know that the relationship was first confirmed by one of their costars and that they have been quite active in each other\u2019s comment sections. Here\u2019s a full rundown of what we know of Jennifer and Jack\u2019s relationship timeline.<\/p>\n On Valentine\u2019s Day in 2024, Jack posted a roundup of photos from the Ransom Canyon set, and Jennifer commented<\/a> some heart emoji.<\/p>\n This seems to be the first time either of them commented on each other\u2019s Instagram account, which makes sense, as the show began filming around that same time.<\/p>\n Now these two were big Instagram flirters, so just know we\u2019re skipping some and just going with some of the more notable ones. For example, in June 2024, Jack wrote<\/a>, \u201cSmokeee\u201d on one of Jennifer\u2019s posts and she replied, \u201cjust like you.\u201d<\/p>\n Things are heating up!<\/p>\n Another Instagram exchange. A month later, Jack commented<\/a>, \u201cBabeee,\u201d and Jennifer wrote, \u201chowdy there cowboy.\u201d Appropriate!<\/p>\n Soon after, Jack\u2019s ex, fellow actor Mackinlee Waddell, opened up about her messy split from the Ransom Canyon star, revealing that their January 2022 marriage only \u201clasted about six months.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI was not a child bride, I was just a dumb bitch,\u201d she joked during an interview with Overheard New York, adding that she got married at 26 and divorced in the same year.<\/p>\n \u201cHe just shot me a text while I was at coffee,\u201d she claimed. \u201cFour sentences and he was gone…\u2018Hey Mack, I wish you the best. I don\u2019t wish to continue this marriage, I\u2019m going off the grid.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Oop!<\/p>\n This is about as close to a relationship confirmation as we got directly from the source: On November 2, 2024, both Jack<\/a> and Jennifer posted carousels full of pictures from a Halloween party, including a lead photo that shows them posing together with his arm around her.<\/p>\n Nothing says \u201cofficial\u201d like a coordinated Instagram hard-launch!<\/p>\n Again, we\u2019re passing over quite a few Instagram comment exchanges here, including one in which Jennifer called<\/a> Jack \u201cthe most beautiful human in the whole world,\u201d and one in which Jack wrote<\/a>, \u201cloml\u201d with a fire emoji. They really love a flirty comment! Anyway, in February 2025, Jennifer shared some photos of them together, including one of them walking with their arms around each other.<\/p>\n Fun times, indeed.<\/p>\n A Ransom Canyon costar spoke out about the relationship in April 2025. Andrew Liner, who plays Reid Collins, was interviewed by Joely Live. Asked if any stars of the show fell for each other offscreen, he said, \u201cJack, who plays Yancy, is now dating Jen, who plays Ashley.\u201d<\/p>\n He also revealed that the cast helped get them together, noting, \u201cWe all got so close that we were all hanging out all the time. They got little crushes on each other and now look.\u201d The host asked if the relationship was public, and Andrew responded, \u201cPublic enough.\u201d<\/p>\n Jen dropped a photo dump that included more than a few cute shots of Jack, seemingly confirming that they\u2019re still going strong.<\/p>\n Jack\u2019s ex Mackinlee made an appearance on the None of My Business podcast, where she doubled down on her claims about how Jack ended their marriage.<\/p>\n During the interview, she also revealed that she and Jack lived together for five years before he \u201cghosted\u201d her and that things took a turn after he went to North Carolina to shoot a film (likely The Engagement Plan, based on the timing).<\/p>\n \u201cThings were like\u2026the wheels were coming off. He wouldn\u2019t let me visit,\u201d she explained. \u201cHe gets home, I look at his messages and he deleted all of his text threads with a female co-star. Come to find out he was trying to go down on her the whole time.\u201d<\/p>\n Again, oop!<\/p>\n Things got a little quiet on social media between seasons of Ransom Canyon. Both actors stopped posting as much, so without either of them\u2014or Andrew \u201cPublic Enough\u201d Liner\u2014speaking out, it\u2019s hard to say much about what\u2019s going on between them.<\/p>\n That said, we did get a little bit of positivity as far as them maybe being still together in June. When Jack posted the season 2 trailer, Jen commented<\/a>, \u201cYeah\u201d with a bunch of fire emoji. As the new season gets fans excited again, perhaps we\u2019ll hear a little more from these two.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nFebruary 2024<\/h2>\n
