When Corrie star Jack P Shepherd tied the knot with Hanni Treweek at Manchester Cathedral, all eyes were on the happy bride and groom. But another star of the Manchester-based soap, Tina O’Brien, 41, also attracted her fair share of attention, making her first public appearance at the star-studded nuptials with her new man – and a source claims she could even be thinking about tying the knot herself.
The mum-of-two seems to have found love again with interior designer Adam Fadlé, 38, after splitting from her husband of seven years, Adam Crofts. And the pair couldn’t have looked more loved up as they attended Jack’s wedding alongside a host of fellow cast members such as Lucy Fallon, Samia Longchambon, Alan Halsall and Jayne Danson – even going in for a passionate kiss at one point.
A source at the wedding told : “There was no mistaking they were an item on the day. Tina looked very much smitten with Adam. She looked radiant and everyone that saw them could see how besotted with each other they were. They were all over each other”. They added, as it emerged Tina packed on the PDA at her co-star’s wedding: “Tina dotes on him – she loves that he’s very calm and is a real gentleman, in every way. She’s head over heels. This is no flash in the pan relationship, they’re getting serious.”
Tina has had quite a rollercoaster when it comes to her lovelife, but the Weatherfield favourite is thought to be ‘besotted’ with her new beau – and is evening considering tying the knot again, claims our mole, inspired by pal Jack’s fairytale nuptials.
“There is talk of marriage between them already. It might seem like quite the U-turn given her marriage to Adam not working out, but there could totally be wedding bells at some point – they loved Jack’s big day and seemed really caught up in the whole wedding fever. Tina is happy to give marriage a second try.”
It’s believed (subs – source in The Sun) the pair met through friends in their hometown of Cheshire, and have already been on a string of dates together and that Tina – who plays Sarah Platt on the Cobbles – is ‘totally mad’ for her new beau.
Their cosy debut as a couple came not long after Tina was seen letting her hair down and enjoying the single life, after it was revealed last month that she and her husband had called it a day, following weeks of speculation.
The estranged couple share a son, Beau, 10, and are thought to be on amicable terms for the sake of their child, but their very different lifestyles – Tina allegedly enjoying a showbiz party, while Adam prefers the quiet life – took a toll on their marriage.
Tina and her estranged husband first met at a coffee shop in Manchester in 2011, the couple tying the knot in a surprise New Year’s Eve ceremony in 2018. But split rumours began to emerge when she shared a snap of herself at former co-star, Colson Smith’s leaving party.
Taking to Instagram, Tina – just weeks after going on holiday without her husband – donned a stunning red mini dress and without her wedding ring markedly absent on her ring finger. Friends subsequently confirmed that the couple had split, and that after moving house at Christmas had decided to live separately for the time being.
Tina also shares a daughter Scarlett, 16, also an actress on Waterloo Road, with ex Ryan Thomas, who recently returned to Weatherfield as part of Sue Cleaver’s (Eileen Grimshaw) exit storyline.
The two soap stars began a relationship in 2003, welcoming their daughter in 2008, but split in 2008, though they continue to co-parent Scarlett, who features regularly on both mum and dad’s social media.
Their relationship, however, has been notoriously strained, though in recent times it’s believed the pair have decided to put their differences aside to support teenage Scarlett’s budding career.
Back in April, a source close to the family told : ‘Ryan and Tina have had their rows and disagreements over the years, but now, they are joining forces and pulling out all the stops, as they can see that Scarlett is going to be a superstar.”
Well, with relations seemingly more harmonious when it comes to her ex Ryan, her career going great guns and a potential wedding on the cards, this could be a whole new chapter for Tina. And nobody deserves lasting happiness more.
