Tina O’Brien’s ex Ryan Thomas shares cryptic post amid Coronation Street star’s rumoured split with husband Adam

RYAN Thomas has shared cryptic posts on his Instagram stories that may be in response to the rumours surrounding his ex Tina O'Brien.

The actor and co-host of 99 To Beat showed a picture of him and fiancée Lucy Mecklenburgh smiling.

He captioned it with: “School run finished. Got this one to myself for the 30 mins coffee break.” He then posted an image of his family with the word: “Blessed.”

The 40-year old ex-Corrie star's post comes at a telling time given the relationship woes of his ex Tina, who he has a strained relationship with.

The couple met on the set of Coronation Street in 2000 and were together for six years before their split.

Tina was quoted at the time saying she and Ryan were “for keeps”;, adding: “We’ll be together forever, fingers crossed. I can’t see myself with anyone else.”;

However the couple, who share a 16-year-old daughter Scarlett together, split in 2009.

They have had a notoriously fractious relationship following their split, with Tina accused of smashing his car with a baseball bat after a furious late-night row in 2022.

Sources told Flying Eze that tempers had flared at 1am after Tina had been partying with pals.

More recently, Tina's relationship with her husband Adam Crofts, has also been in the spotlight.

Tensions have been bubbling for the soap star and her husband for some time sparking rumours of a rift.

She was also pictured on a recent night out without her wedding ring and has unfollowed her husband on social media.

The couple, who have been married for almost seven years and have a 10-year-old son Beau, have also had a notoriously rocky relationship.

Last month she went to Barbadoswithout him — taking her daughter Scarlett.

A source said: “The couple moved house at Christmas and it was a stressful time.”

“They have been on separate holidays and it cemented for them that they want to be on their own.”

“Everyone is hoping they can work it out but it’s not looking likely.”;

In direct contrast to their relationship woes, Ryan's relationship with ex-TOWIE star Lucy is seemingly going from strength to strength.

The couple met on Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls and share two children together: Roman, born in March 2020, and a daughter, Lilah Rae, born in May 2022.

The couple have been engaged for five years, with no plans to tie the knot any time soon.

Ryan, who won the 2024 series of ITV's Dancing on Ice joked Lucy had turned up to the show in a wedding outfit, with the TV star saying to her: “Darling this isn't your moment”.

Speaking toThe Mirrorabout the length of their engagement, Ryan joked: “Don't remind her,” before revealing the couple will set a date when they: “stop having children,” so their kids can be part of their special day.
