A Past Relationship and Moving Forward
Before Jessica, Allen dated sports presenter Charlie Webster. Their relationship ended amicably in late 2015. Charlie spoke to The Mirror about the split, saying, “We had an amazing time. There is no bad feeling at all. We are both very career-minded.” She added, “Downton Abbey has just finished and he is going to go on to a huge career. And my career is really exciting. It was the wrong time for either of us to be in a long-term relationship.” Clearly, both individuals were focused on their careers at that time, but now, Allen has found love with Jessica.
We couldn’t be more excited for Allen and Jessica’s big day. Their love story is a testament to the fact that timing truly is everything. Here’s to a future filled with happiness, laughter, and love for this incredible couple!
