Jenner signed a new three-year deal with Utrecht in August 2023.^[6]

Jenner has represented the Netherlands at under-15 level.^[1]

He is also eligible to represent Indonesia, and in October 2022, he travelled with fellow Dutch-Indonesian footballer Justin Hubner to Indonesia to become naturalized, in order to represent the Indonesia national under-20 football team at the 2023 AFC Asian Cup and the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup.^[7]

Although Jenner still holds the Netherlands passport, on 17 November 2022, he played for the Indonesia U-20 in a losing effort, 0–6 against France U-20 in a friendly match in Spain.^[8] He also played against Slovakia U-20 two days later, in a 1–2 loss.^[9]

On 27 May 2023, Jenner received a called-up for the senior team for the friendly matches against Palestine and Argentina. Ivar made his debut on June 14 2023, against Palestine in a 0–0 draw.

Born in the Netherlands, Jenner is of Indonesian descent. His paternal grandmother was born in East Java.^[12]

In an interview he said, "My father's mother or my grandmother was born in Java (Jember). So, my father is half Indonesian and I am a quarter Indonesian. My mother's parents are from Netherlands. So my Dutch side came from my mother".^[4]
