The 'Gifted' star split from the 'Captain America' hunk back in February but she only has nice things to say about him.

She told 'Entertainment Tonight': "He's just an absolutely, really giving performer and a wonderful actor.

"It's a delight, a total delight."

In a recent interview, Jenny explained she and Chris went their separate ways because their lives are totally "different" and she needs to be alone in order to be "normal".

She said: "Chris is a very, very famous person.

"For him to go to a restaurant is totally different than for me to go. I sit in my window and I say 'hi' to people on the street.

"I have more freedom because I'm not 'Captain America'. I'm mostly a cartoon.

"This is what I needed to do to feel normal. To be alone."

Meanwhile, Chris, 35, has vowed his 'Gifted' co-star will "always" be a part of his life and has nothing but kinds words to say about her.

He said: "You find that you cannot help to have respect for her. You spend five minutes with her and you cannot find something bad to say about her if you tried.

"You know, relationships are tricky, there are lot of moving pieces. But I am endlessly grateful for having met her. She will be in my life always."

And the actor also dubbed Jenny, also 35, as "an incredible human being", as he praised her acting skills.

He added: "We were both rooting for this. She's an incredible human being, a very, very special person. We're all lucky she's so driven, she's going to make some amazing art in her life."
