Coronation Street and Strictly Come Dancing star Tina O’Brien has been seen without her wedding ring amid speculation about the state of her marriage to Adam Croft
Soap star Tina O’Brien, 41, has been spotted without her wedding ring amid rumours around the state of her marriage. The Coronation Street actress and husband Adam Croft reportedly called time on their romance after Christmas following a stressful experience moving house.
Seen grabbing a coffee in Cheshire on Monday afternoon, Tina cut a chic and casual figure as she stepped out amid her possible marital woes. The mum-of-two rocked Adidas trainers, jeans and dark sunglasses as she enjoyed a cup of joe with her dog – with her wedding ring nowhere to be seen on her left hand.
Tina, best known for playing Sarah Platt in Coronation Street, has been a staple on our screens since 1999. However, it’s her off-screen life that’s currently making headlines, with speculation swirling around her marriage to Adam. Tina is yet to comment on the rumours but has been spotted without her wedding ring on more than one occasion this month and even unfollowed her husband on social media.
In a heartfelt post last year, Tina couldn’t help but rave about their bond. She took to Instagram Stories to share a WhatsApp chat snapshot with her beau, captioning it “He’s my everything!” and making sure to tag her other half in the sweet tribute.
However, whispers of trouble in paradise for Tina and Adam have been circulating recently. Tina was spotted sans wedding ring during a night out in Manchester. Adding fuel to the fire, she uploaded snaps of herself looking ravishing in a red dress, complete with a sparkly silver clutch and heels to match. But eagle-eyed fans noted the absence of her wedding band in the selfie shared on Instagram Stories.
To top it off, Tina jetted off to Barbados with her 16-year-old daughter Scarlett, leaving Adam behind, which only sparked further chatter about the state of their marriage. So far, neither Tina nor Adam has come forward to comment on the speculation.
Talking about Tina and Adam’s rocky romance, an insider spilled the beans to the Sun, claiming: “The couple moved house at Christmas and it was a stressful time. They have been on separate holidays and it cemented for them that they want to be on their own. Everyone is hoping they can work it out but it’s not looking likely.”
Tina and Adam’s love story began back in 2011, sparked by a serendipitous encounter at a Manchester coffee shop. The couple’s meet-cute was facilitated by Tina’s daughter, Scarlett, from her previous relationship with actor Ryan Thomas.
Recounting the tale in 2017, Tina shared how two year old Scarlett had innocently approached Adam, triggering their first exchange. “He was working on his computer and Scarlett went over and said: ‘Hello, man,'” Tina reminisced. “He told us his name was Adam and we got talking,” she added, marking the start of their romance.
As their bond deepened, they welcomed their son, Beau, in 2014. It appears that Ryan and Adam share a strong friendship, with Tina admitting: “It’s taken a lot of years and a lot of biting my tongue. Seriously, though, it’s mainly down to Adam and Ryan. It helps that everyone has moved on and is in a happy place.”
After half a decade together, Adam popped the question in 2016, but it wasn’t until two years later that they finally said their ‘I dos’. On New Year’s Eve 2018, after seven years as a couple, Tina and Adam tied the knot at the King Street Townhouse in Manchester, surrounded by loved ones and several of Tina’s Corrie colleagues.
Adam, who hails from England, has set up home with Tina in her Manchester stomping ground. Born on 6 June 1985, he was 33 years young when he exchanged vows with Tina.
He’s part of the team at Ultimate Performance, which boasts the title of “The World’s Leading Personal Trainers”. Over on Twitter, Adam proudly proclaims himself as the “business developer” for the fitness firm.
