Coronation Street star Tina O’Brien looked upbeat as she shared luxurious photographs of herself from a European minibreak following reports of her marriage collapse
Coronation Street star Tina O’Brien looked happy and relaxed as she relaxed with some bubbly following the reported collapse of her marriage. The 41-year-old soap actress has been married to fitness trainer Adam Crofts, 39, since 2018 – but reports this month suggested the couple have secretly split.
Tina and Adam are the parents of ten-year-old son Beau – while the soap star has a daughter named Scarlett, 16, from her past romance with soap actor Ryan Thomas, 40. Amid the headlines and speculation about her marriage, Tina has taken herself off to Copenhagen in Denmark for pampering and an escape.
She has been sharing highlights of her time in the Scandinavian city via social media – with one snap showing her raising a glass of champagne while she relaxed at a spa wearing a pink bikini. Further snaps showed her enjoying time by herself in the corner of the luxury spa – with her glass raised in front of a swimming-pool backdrop.
She also shared a photo of some street art that had the words “everything will be ok” – suggesting she is keeping optimistic about the future. Another piece of art showed a statement declaring: “The world is in our hands” – again teasing more hopeful days ahead.
Her roll of snaps included statues delicately touching hands, a view of the spa from above, and a sun-drenched selfie of the star walking through the streets wearing sunglasses and a beanie hat. She captioned the collecting by simply writing: “Copenhagen” along with a camera emoji and a swirling star emoji.
The upbeat snaps come days after reports suggested Tina was enjoying a new outlook on life following the end of her marriage. While their split was only discovered in March, it has been suggested the couple actually split three months earlier.
According to a source, their differing lifestyles are to blame for the break up. While Adam is really into his fitness, Tina enjoys going out with her mates drinking and dancing “which just isn’t for him.” Though it wasn’t initially an issue when the kids were younger – as Tina has a 16-year-old daughter Scarlett from her previous relationship with Corrie co-star Ryan Thomas – now they are getting older, it’s said to have become more apparent.
Both Tina and Adam have since unfollowed each other on social media, but are still said to be on good terms. And while she isn’t ready to date anyone new just yet, the mum-of-two is doing her best to enjoy life as a newly single woman.
The TV star, who is famous for playing Sarah Platt in Corrie, was spotted at co-star Colson Smith’s party last week – and is not said to be short of male attention now she’s back on the market.
A source told The Sun: “Tina is obviously really upset that it didn’t work out with Adam, but she’s not hiding away at home. Last weekend she really let her hair down at Colson Smiths’s party and made sure she looked incredible. Tina looks amazing and has no shortage of male attention – her recent bikini snaps certainly caught a few eyes though.”
But one vow Tina has apparently made is to keep any future romances under wraps. The source added: “She has really changed though after the last few years and when she is ready to date again it will be very much under wraps. She really prides herself on keeping things private these days and will do anything to protect that.”
Tina and Adam first met in 2011 – and it was her daughter Scarlett, then two, who made the first move. Recounting the romantic tale in 2017, Tina said the toddler had innocently approached Adam, triggering their first exchange. She said: “He was working on his computer and Scarlett went over and said: ‘Hello, man.’ He told us his name was Adam and we got talking.”
The couple went on to welcome son, Beau, in 2014 an d Adam later proposed to the actress in 2016 before they exchanged vows in 2018. They tied the knot at the King Street Townhouse in Manchester on New Year’s Eve that year, surrounded by loved ones and several of Tina’s Coronation Street colleagues.
