Roxy Shahidi and Emmerdale’s Amy Walsh were also present.
The couple were first seen together on a walk in Cheshire in December, but Jennifer is yet to publicly name her new love.
The star also admitted that before 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’d rather meet someone and get a feel for them in real life before dating, which is why that app was quickly deleted.
Jennifer added that her job, playing Mercedes on the Cheshire soap and being a mother to Daye take up so much of her time that she didn’t have the ability to meet strangers outside of the app.
