'Oh my god, I would be so excited. We can shop! Do my hair!' she laughed.
Talking about gay marriage, she shared that two male friends who are getting married next year, have helped her raise her son over the past five years.
'They've pretty much been live-ins for the last five years of my life as a single mom when I was on the road raising Evan,' she revealed.
'Evan loves them dearly, and I love seeing through the eyes of an innocent child: He loves them for them and has no issue. It's wonderful.'
Jenny also spoke about the hot topic (among female celebrities) about whether or not she considers herself to be a feminist.
Happily married: Jenny recently wed New Kids on the Block singer Donnie Wahlberg, 45.
'Yeah, I don't,' she answered.
'I've never been one of those people. I just haven't. I feel like female and males should be adored and respected equally, but I'm not going to try and go and make some kind of statement.'
'Even posing for Playboy, (people were like), "You think that was a feminist move?" "I don't know; I just needed to pay off college!"'
