The former 'Dream Team' star and the 'Queen's Gambit' actor - who is from Belfast, Northern Ireland - are said to have gone their separate ways after four years together.
According to The Sun newspaper's Bizarre TV column, she told fans: "Sadly no Irishman anymore. He’s gone ... it’s fine, it’s just one of those things."
It comes after Amanda - who was with her 'Sherlock' co-star Martin Freeman for 16 years - admitted last March she was "nearly a married woman" after spending the first coronavirus pandemic lockdown drinking wine and watching TV with Jonjo.
She said at the time: "We're enjoying drinking red wine and bingeing on TV series. I'm nearly a married woman."
Amanda and Jonjo went public with their relationship in October 2018.
Speaking about meeting him for the first time, the 'Mr Selfridge' star said in 2019: "At the end of the night I went up to him and said, ‘I think we should go for a drink.’ He was, ‘Yeah, OK.’ We were following each other on Twitter and it was really nice, but then I met him and it was like, ‘Oh, you’re lovely. I’ll be brazen.’ "
Amanda and Martin were together between 2000 and 2016, and share children Joe, 15, and 12-year-old Grace.
Speaking about Martin in 2018, she said: "I had thought Martin was the love of my life. This wasn't meant to happen to us.
"I would wake every morning with a sudden lurch. 'Why do I feel sick?' I'd ask myself, in the darkness of the bedroom I no longer shared with my partner.
"And then, a split-second later, I'd remember what had happened. 'Oh,' I thought, as the tears started to fall. 'That's why'."
