Coronation Street’s Alan Halsall seems to have made his relationship with the glamorous Ellie Dolan official.
The 42-year-old actor, famed for his role as Tyrone Dobbs since 1998, took to Instagram recently to post an adorable photo of himself with his 11-year-old daughter Sienna and Ellie, who is believed to be his new partner. The picture was simply captioned “Friday” along with a heart emoji.
Alan also shared a charming video from Ellie’s Instagram, capturing their day out at the races, where Ellie included a heart emoji and tagged Alan.
Reports suggest that the pair met at Marriott Worsley Park golf club, where Alan is a member and Ellie is employed, reports Leicestershire Live.
A source told the Mirror over the duo’s “serious” relationship: “Alan is really happy. Ellie is a great girl and they have lots of common. And she gets on so well with Sienna, which is so important to Alan. Sienna is his world.”
This development follows Alan’s split from fellow Coronation Street actress Tisha Merry in 2024 after a five-year relationship.
Before his relationship with Tisha, Alan was married to Lucy-Jo Hudson, known for her roles in both Coronation Street and Hollyoaks. They were married from 2009 until 2018 and share the co-parenting for their daughter Sienna.
Last year, a source told The Sun of Alan’s split with Tisha: “Alan and Tisha had a lot of love for each other and had really similar interests, enjoying socialising and going on holiday together.
“But they started to drift apart and feel the pressure of making their relationship work get on top of them. They realised they weren’t on the same page and splitting up felt like the best option.
“They’ve been focusing on themselves and surrounding themselves with their own friends.”
In other news, Alan participated in the 24th series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! last year, finishing in a respectable sixth place.
During his stint on the popular ITV reality show, Alan candidly discussed his personal and dating life.
At one point, the conversation among the campmates turned to singlehood and the use of dating apps. Alan confessed at the time: “I love what I’ve got, even now I’m on my own I love just being dad.”
He further added: “I’ve never done dating apps. I don’t even know what I’d do!”
