Jennifer had been single since 2020, when she split from Greg Lake, with whom she has six-year-old son Dayne.
In March, Jennifer and her new boyfriend attended the second birthday of her co-star Jorgie Porter‘s sportswear brand Transpire.
She was joined by her fiancé Ollie Piotrowski, while Emmerdale’s Roxy Shahidi and Amy Walsh were also in attendance.
Jennifer has played the role of Mercedes on the Channel 4 soap since 2006 and is one of Hollyoaks’ most iconic figures, with Jorgie playing her half-sister Theresa.
The outing came shortly after the actress revealed she had found happiness again with her new mystery man after the pair enjoyed a Valentine’s Day date.
Speaking to The Sun on Sunday, Jennifer admitted: ‘I have recently been spending time with someone and he makes me feel happy.
‘I look forward to seeing him and our time together is always lovely.’
The pair were first spotted together on a stroll in Cheshire in December, but Jennifer chose not to name him publicly at that time.

The star also admitted that prior to meeting her new man she gave celebrity dating app Raya a try, but never actually went on a date.
She explained: ‘I tried that celebrity dating app Raya but I never went on a date.
‘I prefer to meet someone and get an idea of them in real life before dating, so that app got deleted quickly.’
Jennifer added that her work, playing Mercedes in the Cheshire soap, and being a mum to Daye takes up so much of her time that she didn’t have the capacity to meet up with strangers off the app.
