Jill Halfpenny pictured with ‘kind, funny, intelligent’ new partner Ian McAllister for the first time

Actress Jill Halfpenny has been pictured with her new partner, marketing exec Ian McAllister, for the very first time

And she’s said that Ian too has suffered loss in his life, after losing his eight-year-old nephew back in 2013, and it’s an experience that has helped to bond them. He’s a keen runner, too, and ran 400 miles back in 2016 to raise funds for the Newcastle Healthcare Child Bereavement Unit after the loss of his nephew. And, in pictures shared with the paper of the couple, Jill looks happy and content as she cuddles up to her new partner.
