Karl Davies
Jenna's first boyfriend came about from her acting career, with the star crossing paths with Karl when they starred together in Emmerdale. Jenna played iconic character Jasmine Thomas, with Karl playing Robert Sugden.
Karl has previously admitted to falling for Jenna at first sight and their relationship continued to go strong even when Karl quit the soap. Speaking to the Mirror, Jenna said: "But I don't know why anyone would be interested in us. We're just a normal couple. We like going out for dinner or to the cinema."
She also confessed that the pair kept their romance under wraps in the early days, worried about how people might react. The pair are believed to have split in 2009.
Richard Madden
In 2011, Jenna and The Bodyguard star Richard Madden became an item with the pair having an on-off relationship for four years. A self-confessed 'Whovian', Richard couldn't be prouder that his beau was playing the iconic Time Lord's companion and would regularly visit the set.
He joked: "I've watched Doctor Who since I was a kid. I loved it, and I still love it. I was selfieing the [expletive] out of it and sending it to my dad! 'Look, it's me in the TARDIS!' I thought it was the coolest thing ever. I can geek out about it, like when I go to set and see the TARDIS."
Although the pair went their separate ways in 2015, they still enjoy a close friendship and earlier this year the pair holidayed together in Spain.
Prince Harry
Although neither ever confirmed a relationship, Jenna was spotted getting cosy with the Duke of Sussex at a charity polo match. During an appearance on Good Morning Britain, Jenna put the rumours to bed when questioned about their "passion" telling presenter Kate Garraway: "He is a friend of mine."
Tom Hughes
During her time on Victoria, Jenna dated her on-screen husband, Tom Hughes, with the pair beginning their relationship in 2016. However, in 2020, the couple decided to go their separate ways.
At the time, a source said "the relationship ran its course" and that the pair were doing their best to remain friends.
Jamie Childs
Jenna is currently in a relationship with Sandman director Jamie Childs, with the pair meeting on the set of the hit Netflix show.
The couple were rumoured to be engaged when Jenna was spotted with a gold band on her finger, but she no longer wore this as she debuted her baby bump.
