In pictures obtained by The Sun, Jenna is seen pushing a pram on a stroll around North London with Jamie, who is carrying their baby in a carrier strapped to his chest. Jenna looks impeccably stylish in jeans, a cardigan and sunglasses, while Jamie - in an all-black ensemble - sips a coffee and carries their bundle of joy.

Jenna announced back in June that she was expecting her first child with Jamie, 35, and is yet to post on social media about the birth. Known for being private about her personal life, Jenna shared the news of her pregnancy whilst attending an exhibition opening at Chatsworth House on 19 June - where she was pictured cradling her bump.

Jenna began dating her filmmaker partner Jamie in 2020 after working together on Netflix's The Sandman. She was previously in a relationship with Game of Thrones star Richard Madden from 2011 and 2015, with the couple parting ways as friends. The ex-partners even holidayed together in Spain earlier this year.

Jenna was rumoured to be dating Prince Harry in 2015, however she later clarified that the royal was just “a friend”. One year on, she began a relationship with her Victoria co-star Tom Hughes, but after it reportedly “ran its course” the couple split in 2020 — shortly before Jenna found romance with her partner Jamie.

Earlier this year, Jenna starred in BBC One drama The Jetty in which she played Ember Manning – a detective and mum who begins to discover her late husband’s mysterious past when she works on a decades-old missing person case. Having given birth to her daughter Hannah (played by Ruby Stokes) as a 17-year-old, Ember has an interesting dynamic with her now-teenage daughter on the show.

Speaking about the role, Jenna said: "The scenes I love the most are Ember with her daughter,” Jenna says. “I actually have a friend who had a daughter when she was 18 and their dynamic was really interesting. It is that line between, ‘We’re friends but sometimes I have to pull the mum card.’ The dynamic also becomes a lot more about Hannah taking care of Ember as well. It felt very natural."
