The star previously described herself as "totally single" following the breakdown of her last serious relationship and it seems she's having fun.

Jennifer, who is famed for playing Mercedes McQueen in Hollyoaks, was photographed as she strolled side-by-side with the hunky man close to Menagerie bar in Manchester.

The pair had spent the evening at Chelsee Healey and her sister Kate's Rags The Label party, which was held to launch their new clothing line.

The actress wore a long gold skirt and crop top, which she teamed with a tailored black jacket.

Jennifer wore her hair in an updo, with tendrils framing her face, and she coordinated her outfit with a pair of nude shoes.

The mum-of-one's mystery man, who she is believed to have been dating since December, opted for a more casual outfit, with a jumper, jeans and trainers.

Jennifer is mum to Daye, six, with her ex-partner, Geordie Shore star Greg Lake. The couple split in 2020 after eight years together.

She later enjoyed a brief romance with Oldham Athletic player Chris Eagles and also dated toyboy boyfriend Josh Cox, 22, for a short spell.

Jennifer previously reflected on relationships and life while speaking on the podcast.

She said: "Does a happy ending exist? It doesn’t, and this is me talking.

"You get everything you ever wanted, you get your car, your house, your job, the dream and then it’s like, ‘OK, what now?’.

"No one settles. Everyone has always got a little, ‘what next?’, that’s the zest of life in my opinion. Everyone has the same emotions.

"You want to be happy, you want to experience love, whatever that looks like."

Jennifer has starred as Mercedes McQueen in Hollyoaks since 2006.
