Where US Office’s Pam is now – famous ex-husband and current status with Jim actor

For almost a decade Jenna Fischer played everyone’s favourite receptionist on the other side of the Atlantic.

Starring in the US Office, the UK original’s hugely popular offshoot, between 2005 and 2013, the American actress took on the role of Pam Beesly.

Fischer, 48, was nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series in 2007.

Now, with the The Office available on streaming platforms such as Netflix and Amazon Prime, the show is gaining traction and its fandom is growing.

This has in turn led to an increasing number of Pam fanatics, with Twitter rife with memes spawned from her comical lines and facial expressions.

Fans particularly have a soft spot for the character’s relationship with co-worker and eventual boyfriend Jim Halpert, played by John Krasinski.

“I always think I’m going to get into the Office but every time I just end up watching Jim and Pam Youtube videos instead,” wrote Laura Weiant on Twitter.

Another user added: “Normalize only watching the office for Pam and Jim.”

Despite the characters’ romantic relationship, that never translated off-screen.

Both Fischer and Krasinski, whilst still close, are married to separate spouses and have families of their own – much to many The Office’s fans disappointment.

Jenna got married to screenwriter and director Lee Kirk in 2010. He in fact directed his wife two years later in The Giant Mechanical Man, a romcom about a street performer and a zoo worker.

The pair have two children, a boy and a girl. Their first, Weston was born in 2011, before Harper arrived in 2014.

This came after Fischer’s first marriage to Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn, which lasted from 2000 to 2008.
