Coleman and Childs: From working together to romance and parenthood
Jenna has been in a relationship with British director and filmmaker Jamie Childs since 2021. They met on the set of the American fantasy drama television series The Sandman in 2020. The partners are reportedly living in a townhouse worth around £2.2million, where they are raising their first child. But despite their public profile, Jenna and Jamie prefer to keep their personal life behind closed doors. Therefore, very little is known about their relationship or what their family nest looks like.
In addition to collaborating on the Sandman series, Jamie directed Jenna in his debut feature film Jackdaw, which was released in January 2024. According to the director, Jenna Coleman inspired him to create this movie. Childs admitted that while Jenna was busy working on her projects, he felt like he was sitting idle. That’s why he decided to write the script for the Jackdaw.

However, they broke up in 2020, as they said their relationship had “run its course.”
