The One Show star Jermaine Jenas lives a comfortable life with his family.
The 39 year old has chalked up over 340 English football stints at clubs like Aston Villa, Queens Park Rangers, Nottingham Forest, Newcastle United, and Tottenham Hotspur. Jenas not only impressed domestically but also donned the Three Lions jersey 21 times, bagging one goal before a knee injury in 2016 took him off the pitch for good.
Since ditching the studs, Jermaine has nailed the transition to telly, charming viewers as he swaps pitch-side tactics for prime-time presenting. When the lights dim, Jenas kicks back in Hertfordshire with his wife and their three kids in a luxury £1 million house.

Jermaine tied the knot with Ellie Penfold and the pair dote on two daughters, Geneva and Olivia, plus the latest addition of son Jacob. He also shares daughter Sancha with a previous relationship. Jenas opened up about his love story with Ellie to the Belfast Telegraph: “She’s been a rock keeping the family going through tough times.”, reports MyLondon.
He shared: “It was love at first sight when I saw her, but not for her. She wasn’t impressed by this cheeky, cocky guy who thought she’d be bowled over when I drove up in my Ferrari. She actually made me get rid of the car because it was too noisy! She’s told me she thought when we first met that I was a bit of an over-confident idiot, but I won her over finally.”
Jermaine managed to charm Ellie and they got engaged in 2009, before tying the knot in 2011. The couple, who often share snaps of their family life on Instagram, are parents to three children.
The TV star also gives fans a peek into his lavish lifestyle at his £1 million mansion through his Instagram posts. The Jenas’ residence is adorned with a chic grey colour scheme throughout, with a clean and minimalist vibe.
The living room boasts a plush grey sofa with matching cushions and a large black and silver coffee table with a glass top. The father-of-four has also posted a video of himself working out in his private gym, which overlooks a sprawling garden where a football goal is set up.
In another post, the devoted dad is seen whipping up two smoothies for his kids. He also shared a glimpse of his baby son’s nursery, featuring grey cloud pattern wallpaper and blue panelling complemented by cream furniture, making it a room fit for a little prince.
It was recently announced that the presenter’s role at the BBC is no more as they explained to The Mirror: “We can confirm that he is no longer part of our presenting line up.”
