Jenna Coleman reveals it’s taken ‘a long time’ to find inner confidence after years battling her inner demons in her early career

Jenna Coleman reveals it's taken 'a long time' to find inner confidence after years battling her inner demons in her early career

As a lifestyle expert, I have had the privilege of observing and analyzing various aspects of people’s lives, including their relationships and career journeys. Jenna’s experiences are a fascinating example of how love, career, and personal growth can intertwine in complex ways.


Jenna Coleman, a renowned TV star, has spent considerable time overcoming self-doubt and building self-confidence, despite her successful acting career.

As a devoted admirer, I can only imagine how it must have felt for the actress, turning 38, to find herself under the intense limelight as she graced our screens on Emmerdale, Waterloo Road, and Doctor Who. The pressure was palpable; I picture her feeling like a quivering mass of nerves, barely holding it together.

During the filming of her new show, The Jetty, pregnant for the first time with her child, Jenna was in awe of the younger actors’ self-assuredness.

The actress from Victoria found it astonishing how the younger generation carried themselves with such composure and confidence, reminding her of how different she was at their age.

In an interview with The Sun, Jenna shared her observation: “Young women at The Jetty radiate relaxation. They’re fully engaged in the moment, confidently expressing themselves.”

At their age, I was filled with anxiety and doubted the value of my own thoughts, believing everyone else’s opinions to be superior.

In my twenties, finding the courage to express myself would have been much more challenging. It involves feeling at ease and asserting oneself without causing disagreements. My generation has had to work hard to achieve this.

Jenna’s preparing to welcome her first child with director boyfriend Jamie Childs, 35.

Last month, at the dinner honoring the unveiling of the “Imaginary Conversations: An ERDEM Collection Inspired by Duchess Deborah” exhibition, held at Chatsworth House, she shared the news of her pregnancy with everyone in attendance.

In a striking green floral gown that accentuated her beauty, Jenna gently placed a hand on her baby belly as she paused for picture-taking at the old-fashioned site.

Six months ago, fans were wondering if she had gotten married to Jamie based on photos of her wearing a large golden ring on her wedding finger, which brought joyful news later on.

In the year 2020, Jenna and Jamie crossed paths for the first time while filming Netflix’s production of The Sandman. Since then, they have collaborated once more, with Jenna featuring in Jamie’s debut film titled Jackdaw.

In January, there were rumors that Jenna and Jamie’s relationship had progressed further when pictures emerged of Jenna wearing a ring on her ring finger as they walked together in north London with the director.

The couple strolled together, holding hands, with Jamie gently caressing her hair from time to time, conveying their deep affection.

She had worn the ring before, but this time it was on a different finger, fueling the notion that the change could hold meaning.

The actress previously dated Tom Hughes, who played her husband Prince Albert in ITV’s Victoria.

In 2013, they crossed paths while filming the BBC drama series Dancing On The Edge. However, they parted ways in the year 2020.

By the end of their relationship, the pair were deeply unhappy, with the actress moving out to live on her own. They reportedly tried to preserve their friendship despite the breakup.

According to reports from The Sun, there are supposedly images of Tom helping Jenna relocate to a new place, believed to be quite a distance from their former shared residence.

The source close to the situation shared with the media outlet that the two have reconciled and are making an effort to maintain a cordial relationship.

According to the source, they’re making an effort to repair their friendship, but it’s undeniably challenging given the current circumstances.

Tom and Jenna are deeply unhappy, yet their romantic connection has naturally reached an end. No external factors contributed to their separation.

Jenna’s professional journey is thriving, with an abundance of opportunities coming her way for international projects, particularly in Los Angeles. She’s eager to capitalize on this success while she’s still young.

The couple’s relationship mirrored artistic themes as they started dating in 2016, having first met while filming together.

I, as an avid fan of Jenna and Tom’s story, can’t help but marvel at how their romantic journey almost didn’t begin. The actress herself shared that she declined the opportunity to portray the legendary monarch Victoria not once, but twice! Can you believe it? But thankfully, she eventually changed her mind and graciously accepted the role. What a relief for us fans who have been eagerly awaiting their on-screen chemistry!

Since the third season of the show premiered on ITV in 2019, there has been no news from the network about producing a fourth season.

In an interview with Radio Times, Jenna shared her feelings about the close call, explaining, “After completing nearly four years on Doctor Who, I wasn’t eager to commit to another lengthy television production.”

‘I wanted to do lots of different things, but now I’m doing Victoria, I find her quite addictive.’ 

Before Tom, Jenna was in a relationship with Bodyguard and Game Of Thrones star Richard Madden.

The pair dated on and off for four years after getting together in 2012.
