It is the second time the pair have reportedly split after they called it quits back in August 2023, just months after going public with their romance. Owen and Jemma had made their red carpet debut at the British Soap Awards 2023 back in June just a few months before. A source said at the time: 'They had great fun together but, long term, decided it's better to just be friends. 'They are both super- professional, so it won't change anything at work.' Jemma had appeared on Owen's social media many times during their romance and he had been introduced to her famous dad and family on a holiday. The couple confirmed their romance in April 2023 when Owen took to Instagram to share a video pretending to propose to her while on a hike in Mallorca with her family. The clip was buried among a slew of loved-up family holiday snaps as he joked about getting down on one knee in the caption. He wrote next to the video: 'She's still not forgiven me for that one!', after he shocked her with the move. The clip showed them hugging while taking in the mountain views before he gets to the ground before quickly jumping back up to indicate it was a joke. She looked shocked at the 'proposal' and covered her mouth with her hands before he started laughing at her. Speaking about Speaking about their romance earlier that year, Owen told The Sun: 'Jemma kept messaging me and messaging and asking me to go on dates and then I just gave in. 'Ahhh seriously though it took me a while to pluck up the courage to ask her out. 'I've just been on holiday with her family they are all amazing.' Owen previously dated Geordie Shore star Chloe Ferry, but the couple split in summer 2022 amid claims he reportedly messaged glamour model, Apollonia Llewellyn, begging to meet up. Prior to his romance with Chloe, Owen dated Hollyoaks co-star Stephanie Davis. But they split in 2019 after nine months together amid rumours Owen felt that the relationship was 'moving too quickly'.

Lesley Dunlop and Chris Chittell Lesley and Chris are another Dales romantic success story. Unlike some of the other soap stars, the pair who play Brenda Walker and Eric Pollard, are together on and off screen, officially tying the knot in 2016.
