Jennifer Metcalfe is every inch the doting mother as she spends time with son Daye, 3… two months after split from Greg Lake

She has been focusing on motherhood and work since confirming the end of her long-term romance in August. 

And Jennifer Metcalfe was every inch the doting mum as she spent time with son Daye, three, in Cheshire on Wednesday.

The Hollyoaks star, 37, looked stylish in a black top and high-waisted jeans as she held hands with adorable Daye, before swinging him into the air.

Jennifer opted for comfort in a pair of monochrome shoes and accessorised with a leather handbag.

Her brunette tresses were styled sleek and straight while a radiant palette of make-up enhanced her pretty features.

Daye looked cute in a red shirt and jeans as he enjoyed the day with his mother.   

Jennifer’s outing comes more than two months after she revealed her relationship with former Geordie Shore star Greg Lake, with whom she raises son Daye, quietly ended during lockdown.

She wrote on Instagram: ‘Greg and I decided to part ways amicably a couple months ago. We remain friends and we both will continue to happily co parent Daye and would appreciate privacy during these times.’

Jennifer has been regularly sharing pictures of herself with Greg and Daye on her Instagram, with the last family picture appearing on July 12.  

It seems that the couple had already split at this point, but they remain close. 

In 2018, Jennifer said she thought Greg had proposed to her following their long romance, but she wasn’t having any of it anyway.

She told ITV’s Loose Women at the time: ‘I thought Greg had proposed to me on my birthday. He got a ring out, I’d just got back from work.

‘I was too tired for it. I said “can we please do this another time, I’m tired”. It was just a ring ‘for us’ though, not an engagement one.’

But the year before, Jennifer told Fabulous magazine that marriage was very much in their plans.

She said: ‘We’ll probably do it like a party and be like: “Let’s get married next month and we’ll text our friends”. There will be no ring or anything.’
