Tina O'Brien: Finally talking marriage

Corrie lovebirds are closer than ever and planning a wedding

Ryan Thomas and Tina O’Brien are looking forward to being parents

Ryan Thomas and Tina O’Brien attended the Afrika! Afrika! premiere in Manchester 2 weeks ago and looked like the perfect young couple.

A blooming Tina, 25, who’s expecting their first child in October, beamed and held hands with Ryan as fans wished them both well.

But it hasn’t all been plain sailing. The pair, who’ve dated for five years, were shocked by the pregnancy, especially as it came just a few weeks after their brief split in February.

‘After Tina quit Corrie at the end of last year, it seemed likely they were going to drift apart as she planned a move to London. That didn’t happen,’ a friend tells Now

'Now the reality of going for scans and preparing for the baby at home has brought them closer together.'

Ryan, 24, and Tina are also finally talking about getting married.

‘It’s all a bit scary, but it’s very exciting, too,' says the pal. 'Tina‘s never been one of those girls who fantasised about a huge do with a big white dress, but they’re now talking about having a wedding next year. Then they’ll be a proper family.’
