Jenna Coleman has welcomed her first child with boyfriend Jamie Childs. The couple was recently spotted taking their newborn for a stroll in North London, marking a sweet moment as they begin their journey into parenthood. The actress has kept her pregnancy relatively private, so this public outing has excited fans and followers who are eager to see her embrace this new chapter in her life.
Jenna Coleman, 38, looked fashion-forward during her first public appearance since giving birth. She was spotted wearing a stylish red cardigan and jeans, layered under a brown bomber jacket, showcasing her chic sense of style while enjoying a stroll with her newborn in North London.
Jenna Coleman accessorized her look with a quilted Chanel handbag and coordinating black sunglasses while pushing a pram alongside her partner, Jamie Childs. The director, 35, cradled their newborn in a baby carrier, with the baby’s feet peeking out in bright pink socks. As he sipped on a coffee, Jamie wore an all-black ensemble consisting of a jacket, jeans, and a plain T-shirt, engaging in conversation with Jenna during their stroll in North London.
Jenna Coleman first revealed her pregnancy in June, debuting her baby bump at a dinner at Chatsworth House. While she hasn’t officially announced the birth of her child, she frequently shared glimpses into her pregnancy journey with fans on social media.
Jenna and Jamie Childs met in 2020 on the set of Netflix’s The Sandman, where she portrayed Johanna Constantine and he directed several episodes. The couple was first romantically linked in December 2021 and made their public debut together the following February.
Jenna Coleman and Jamie Childs were photographed enjoying a stroll in Islington, smiling and holding hands, just days after being seen outside her £2.2 million home as furniture was being moved in. They later collaborated again on Jamie’s debut film Jackdaw, where Jenna played the lead character, Bo.
Despite their romance, the couple tends to keep their relationship private, with rare public appearances and Jenna never publicly discussing their relationship. Earlier this year, speculation arose that they had taken their relationship to the next level when Jenna was spotted wearing a ring on her wedding finger in January.
During their stroll in North London, Jenna Coleman was seen wearing a chunky gold band, walking hand-in-hand with Jamie Childs, who affectionately stroked her hair. This marked a notable change, as she usually wore the ring on a different finger, leading to speculation about its significance.
Jenna has previously joked about her frequent roles as a mother, stating that she has performed so many labor scenes that she has “no noises left” for any future childbirth portrayals. The Queen Victoria star humorously remarked, “I’ve done so many labor scenes I don’t know what to do anymore.”
Jenna Coleman humorously reflected on her numerous roles as a mother, noting that she has “no noises left” for any future childbirth scenes. In her own words, “I’ve done so many labor scenes I’ve got no noises left. I don’t know what to do anymore. They’ve got to stop having me in labor. I haven’t even had children yet; I don’t know what I’m doing.”
She expressed her concerns about portraying a mother in the BBC’s 2018 psychological mystery The Cry, even reaching out to friends with children for insights into motherhood. After the show aired, Jenna candidly admitted, “I spent a good first chunk of it just thinking they’d completely miscast me.”
Jenna Coleman expressed her struggles with portraying motherhood in her roles, saying, “Why on earth me? I’m not a mother. It was something so, well, primal that I haven’t literally experienced. And I have really struggled with that.”
Previously, Jenna dated Tom Hughes, who played her husband, Prince Albert, in ITV’s Victoria. They met on the set of BBC’s Dancing On The Edge in 2013 but parted ways in 2020. Reports indicated that both were “terribly sad” about the end of their relationship, with Jenna moving into her own place, and they reportedly attempted to “salvage a friendship.”
Before her relationship with Tom Hughes, Jenna Coleman dated Game of Thrones star Richard Madden. The pair had an on-and-off relationship that lasted about four years, starting in 2012. Their connection was notable, given their roles in popular television series, and they were often seen together at public events during their time as a couple.
