Jennifer Metcalfe, best known for her role as Mercedes McQueen on the popular soap opera Hollyoaks, has recently shared some exciting news about her personal life. The 40-year-old actress, who has been playing Mercedes for the past 17 years, has found love once again and is now in a new relationship.
In a recent interview with The Sun, Jennifer opened up about her new romance, following her split from ex-boyfriend and former Geordie Shore star Greg Lake in 2020. She was seen spending time with a mystery man on Valentine's Day, sparking rumors about her new beau. However, Jennifer has now confirmed the news and couldn't be happier.
"I have recently been spending time with someone and he makes me feel happy," she revealed. "I look forward to seeing him and our time together is always lovely." Jennifer also shared that she is a proud mother to her six-year-old son Daye, whom she shares with her ex-partner Greg.
Speaking about their co-parenting relationship, Jennifer shared, "It's as perfect as it can be. Greg lives in Newcastle, so Daye visits him every other weekend. We both have our child's best interests at heart, so whatever that brings, it brings." Despite their split, the former couple remains committed to raising their son together and maintaining a positive relationship.
Jennifer also expressed her desire to expand her family in the future, saying, "I'd absolutely love to have more kids. I'd like to have five or six, but the time and person I'm with would have to be right. I'm reaching 40 next year, so maybe I will have them frozen. Judging by the logistics, I really should, because I'd love a massive family."
The actress, who joined Hollyoaks in 2006, has become a beloved and long-standing member of the cast. She was the first actress to be cast by executive producer Bryan Kirkwood and has remained a fan favorite throughout the years. In 2017, Jennifer and Greg welcomed their son Daye, who recently turned three years old.
Despite her busy schedule with Hollyoaks, Jennifer is also exploring other opportunities and recently announced her engagement, eight years after her dramatic exit from the soap. Fans can also catch her in other popular shows such as EastEnders, Hollyoaks, and Neighbours, where she has guest-starred in various roles.
As Jennifer continues to focus on her career and family, fans are excited to see what the future holds for this talented actress. With her positive outlook and determination to follow her dreams, there's no doubt that she will continue to shine both on and off the screen.
