EastEnders' Adam Woodyatt kisses mystery woman for first time since divorce
Actor Adam Woodyatt was spotted sharing a kiss with a mystery woman in the EastEnders star's first public romance since his divorce of wife of 21 years back in 2019 EastEnders star Adam Woodyatt has been spotted getting close to a new woman for the first time following his divorce. The actor, 56, split from his wife of 21 years in 2019 and hasn't been linked to anybody else since. He is best known for his role as Ian Beale, who has had his fair share of dramatic storylines and six marriages to his name. However, in his personal life Adam prefers to keep things more low-key having kept his split from wife Beverly hidden for over a year. They share two grown-up children together - Jessica and Samuel - and reached an agreement about their divorce settlement in 2022. The couple managed to keep their split under wraps even after Adam had left the family home. Now, it seems Adam is ready to put the split behind him as he was seen looking very loved up with a mystery woman. The actor was spotted leaving a gym on Friday afternoon as he kissed the woman before driving off together. He wore an all black gym outfit as he headed towards the car. His mystery lady donned a khaki jacket over a grey T-shirt and patterned leggings. At the time of their split, Beverley was said to be delighted with the settlement after standing her ground during negotiations. "Bev and Adam are now officially divorced. As well as being his wife, Bev was also his manager for about a dozen years and she did so much for his career. "She rejected some of the settlement offers she was sent during the process and now she's glad she held her ground — she is delighted with the settlement," a source close to Beverly told The Sun. They added: "She still has no idea why he left her but that's all in the past. She's very upbeat and sees it as a new chapter. I've no doubt Bev will find someone new soon. She's in a good place." A year later it was revealed Adam ditched his busy London life for a peaceful countryside setting in his motorhome. He showed off his impressive home on wheels as he planned to travel the UK. Adam said: 'I've no plans to move out. It's a completely different way of life. You don't need the trappings. We just accumulate stuff." He also took a break from the soap in 2020 following his divorce. Adam took his motorhome to Devon before heading on a theatre tour for an adaptation of Looking Good Dead. After years living and filming in and around London, Adam said that he was loving his time living "in a field". Adam and former dancer Beverly married in a private ceremony at Disney World, Florida in April 1988. A spokesperson for Adam announced their split over two decades later as they said: "Beverley and Adam separated in August last year, and we ask that the family's privacy is respected." The actor also gave up alcohol in 2022 after his doctors warned him his liver was "taking a bit of a hammering". Speaking on The Nightcap podcast, he said: "It was a health thing (on why he gave up alcohol). "I went into hospital with a stomach issue and they pointed out my liver was probably taking a bit of a hammering. They said, 'Look, give your liver a rest for six weeks, we'll do some tests.' Then Covid happened and six weeks became 12 weeks. "And I thought, 'Do you know what — I've cracked this, I don't miss it, I'm better off without it' and I thought, 'That's it!' I'm not going to say never again, but at the moment no alcohol and it's fine. But I still like smelling it, especially rum. I'm not so good on whisky."
