British soap star Georgia May Foote’s husband, Kris Evans, has finally broken his silence amidst split rumours as he flees the UK and checks into a solo retreat
Rumours about Coronation Street star Georgia May Foote’s marriage have been swirling, and her musician husband has finally spoken out – with one mysterious message.
Manchester musician and producer Kris Evans fled the country at the weekend, leaving his wife behind in their family home. His travels were taking him to Spain, where he checked himself into a retreat named La Sierra Casa Song Writing Camp in Alicante.
It comes after reports earlier this month that the couple were “headed for divorce” and that the soap star was “looking to the future”.
Kris, 35, has since taken to social media to share an emotion-fuelled note that read, “In a time of destruction, write something.” It appears it’s not the first time the artist made a trip to the songwriting camp, as he posted about his time he spent there back in 2024.
As part of their creative mission, the camp states: “Our camps are the number one stop for all things songwriting. Dive in headfirst; whether you’re already established and looking for new inspiration/collaborations or you are new to the field and are looking for that boost of confidence to get you started, we have something for everyone.”
The camp has hosted a wide range of artists in the past, which they proudly state on their website. It reads: “We have already played host to many successful names such as Carl Barat of The Libertines, Callum Beattie, Blaine of The Mystery Jets, John McClure of Reverend & The Makers, Koolkid & Ili, Stuart Zender of Jamiroquai, Youth, and Ian Van Dahl. A real variety to cover all styles of music.”
Earlier this month rumours began to circulate that the successful pair were on the road to divorce, just two years after tying the knot, though no official statements have been made. Georgia has since removed her wedding ring, and any photos she shared online with her husband are nowhere to be found on her Instagram page—including the loved-up snaps from their wedding.
The 34-year-old Corrie star said yes after Kris popped the question on New Year’s Eve back in 2021, two years before their wedding. On the lead-up to the big day, Georgia shared her excitement online, writing: “I am about to marry my best friend. The person who makes me a better person. Here’s to the last month of being a Foote.”
According to The Sun, a source confirmed that Georgia’s marriage to Kris “seems to be over” and their relationship is “on the rocks.” Although, despite signs of the split, the famous pair appear to be amicable and are thought to still be living together.
A friend of the couple told The Sun: “Georgia has been through a lot recently, and it’s not surprising that it has put strain on her marriage. She told friends that she wanted a fresh start after the terrible fire earlier this year, and she’s just not sure where Kris fits into that. They are still on good enough terms to stay in their home together.”
Meanwhile, another source shared with The Sun that the couple’s issues revolved around their financial situation. In 2015 Georgia’s character was killed off from the cobbles in a car crash, and so she went on to star in a number of reality TV shows, including Strictly Come Dancing.
She candidly told the Sausage on a Fork podcast this week that she has had a ‘nightmare’ when it comes to her career and booking acting jobs. Georgia shared: “I came back in the December of 2020, and I just realised, “Oh my God, there’s no work.”
“Everything that got stopped filming in the UK then got put on a back burner, and then there was a backlog of what was about to start filming. Then everything behind that took four years to come out, and then we had the writers’ strikes.’ It’s just been a nightmare. And that’s why this has been the quietest I’ve ever been in my life. I think a lot of actors around the world will say the exact time.”
In what was already a stressful time with work, Georgia was faced with yet another challenge when her nail salon burnt down last month. The business was a part-time venture of hers that she struck up to earn some extra income during her lack of screen time.
In the events of the fire, the actress created a crowdfunding page, raising money to get hers and other affected businesses back on track. She shared: “Within two hours the whole building was alight, and the whole thing burnt down. We weren’t allowed back in there, and nothing has been salvaged.
“Four years’ worth of products and stock and everything. We can’t get back to work without that stuff. It’s thousands of pounds of stuff. You can’t just go and buy it.”
The fundraiser went on to surpass the £12,000 mark, which the star was “really pleased with,” as it will help the other women affected, who have lost their sole income. She added: “At the same time, I lost a lot of money in that fire. But people have lost entire homes worth of stuff that can’t be replaced.”
