Who Is ‘Bly Manor’ Star Oliver Jackson-Cohen’s Girlfriend, Jessica De Gouw?
In Netflix’s The Haunting of Bly Manor, Oliver Jackson-Cohen portrays one of the main characters — Peter Quint. Quint — a man whose love is dark, whose understanding of ownership and romance are uncomfortably tethered — is a broken-hearted antagonist. As was the case with Hill House, the second outing in the anthology is just as dramatic, just as reflective of humanity, and just as much a drama as it is a psychological bender.
As a result of Hill House and Bly Manor, Jackson-Cohen is becoming more and more well-known, as he also recently starred in The Invisible Man across from Elisabeth Moss. Once again, he played a deranged man who threatened his ex-girlfriend’s well-being. As Jackson-Cohen continues to advance his career, his romantic life is soon take center stage. And, Jackson-Cohen happens to be in a relationship with another actor who is also climbing through Tinseltown’s ranks.

So, what else has Jessica de Gouw been in, and what is she known for?
