Former Emmerdale star Jenna Coleman has welcomed her first child with her boyfriend Jamie Childs, with the new parents being spotted taking their baby for a walk in London.
The 38-year-old actress, who played Jasmine Thomas in Emmerdale, first showed off a baby bump in June. She later showed off her bare bump on Instagram, writing: ‘Spent summer cooking.’
Jenna and Jamie have not officially announced the baby’s birth, but they looked the perfect happy family during their stroll.
Emmerdale star announces pregnancy
Jenna met Jamie while filming Netflix’s Sandman – a series adapted from Neil Gaiman’s comic book series – and the couple have been together for four years.
There were rumours that the actress had tied the knot with Jamie, after she was spotted with a ring on her wedding finger. However, she has since appeared without the ring.
Jenna previously told Harper’s Bazaar: ‘Half of my friends have babies, and half don’t, so it doesn’t feel like a pressure. I want to take my time.’
She also joked about the amount of times she has given birth on screen within her role as Queen Victoria. She told Jonathan Ross: ‘I have had many a labour scene now, I’m running out of noises for labour scenes.
‘I’m sure one day maybe if I ever give birth I’ll realise I was totally wrong.’
Earlier this year she arrived at a celebratory dinner with a growing bump. She later commented on the pregnancy when she added a picture to Instagram showing her bare bump. She wrote: “‘pent summer cooking,’ and was inundated with messages of congratulations from fans.
Jenna Coleman has a baby
Over the weekend, news broke that Jenna had given birth to her first child with her director boyfriend Jamie.
Looking glam in jeans, a red top and black sunglasses, Jenna was seen pushing a pram in North London, while Jamie walked beside her with the newborn strapped to his chest in a baby carrier.
The tot’s bright pink socks could be seen poking out from the sling – leading fans to speculate that the baby is a girl.
Who was Jasmine Thomas in Emmerdale?
Jasmine arrived in Emmerdale in June 2005 as the niece of Ashley Thomas. She was sent to stay with Ashley and her grandfather Sandy after she was suspended from school.
One of her big stories saw her form a close bond with Debbie Dingle, with the pair soon starting a relationship. Debbie’s dad Cain was not happy about this development and he seduced Jasmine.
In her job as a reporter, Jasmine investigated criminal gang the McFarlanes and discovered that local policeman Shane Doyle was on their payroll.
After Shane caught her looking for evidence, he tried to rape Jasmine, but Debbie came to her rescue. Shane turned his focus to Debbie, resulting in Jasmine attacking Shane and killing him.
The body was buried in the lake, but was later discovered. Jasmine planned to run away, but she returned to face the music and was sentenced to four years in prison.
Jasmine would have been released from prison by now, but her location is unknown.
