Sad news: Jennifer, the mother of one, announced in August that she had secretly parted ways with former Geordie Shore star Greg after an eight-year romance (she shared this picture in April).
Hollyoaks actress Jennifer took to Instagram in August to reveal that she and former Geordie Shore star Greg had sadly split.
Apparently another victim of the confinement, Jennifer revealed that the couple secretly separated a couple of months ago – they are the parents of their three-year-old son Daye.
She wrote: ‘Greg and I decided to part ways amicably a couple of months ago.
“ We remain friends and we will both happily continue to be Daye’s parents and appreciate the privacy during these times.
“Thank you to everyone who has supported us before, during and after this.”

Jennifer has been regularly sharing photos of herself with Greg and Daye on her Instagram, with the latest family photo appearing on July 12.
It seems that the couple had already separated by now, but they are still close.
On June 12, Jennifer shared a black and white image of Greg kissing Daye on the head, writing: ‘Happy Father’s Day @greglake_ us ❤️ u a lot x’.
Back in 2018, Jennifer said that she thought Greg had proposed to her after their long romance, but he had none of it anyway.
Friends: According to the post, Jennifer has known Chris since she became friends with her ex Danielle earlier this year.
Friendly Separation: Jennifer shared this post on Instagram in August and thanked those around her who have supported her.
Announcement: Greg shared a post almost identical to Jennifer’s on the same day
She told Loose Women at the time: ‘I thought Greg proposed to me on my birthday. He took out a ring, I had just come back from work.
He was too tired for that. I said “can we do this some other time? I’m tired.” However, it was just a ring ‘for us’, not an engagement. ”
But the year before, Jennifer told Fabulous magazine that marriage was in her plans.
She said: ‘We’ll probably do it as a party and be like,’ We’re getting married next month and we’re going to text our friends. ‘ There will be no ring or anything.
Parenthood: Jennifer previously said that sleepless nights with her son Daye meant they had no plans to expand their offspring.
And while the couple loves parenting their son Daye, Jennifer admitted that sleepless nights had discouraged her from having more children.
She told the panel: ‘Sleepless nights have put me off more kids. I loved going back to work, I loved going for a few hours and being yourself for a day. I also love to pick it up later. ‘
In a candid chat with OK! In the magazine to announce the birth of her son in 2017, Jennifer revealed that she had “ invented ” the peculiar name Daye about two years ago and that she had kept the name until the couple made the decision to start a family.
His middle name, Colmic, is actually a combination of the names of the couple’s father, Colin and Mick.
Before dating Greg, Jennifer was in a relationship with Dancing On Ice pro skater Sylvain Longchambon. He is now married to Corrie’s star Samia.
