In a heartwarming announcement that has captivated fans, two beloved stars of the long-running ITV soap opera Emmerdale, Max and Kris, have officially revealed their much-anticipated wedding date. The couple, who met on the set of the popular TV drama, are now poised to embark on their next chapter, two years after a romantic beach proposal.
The real-life soap stars, known for their roles as brothers Luke and Lee Posner, are set to exchange vows next Tuesday, bringing their personal love story into the spotlight. Kris hinted at the approaching nuptials on his Instagram Stories, sharing a wedding ring emoji alongside the eager caption, ‘365 days to go & 365 things to do’, building anticipation among their followers.
Their journey to the altar began two years prior when Max, 33, proposed to Kris in a sweet and memorable beach setting. Kris shared his overwhelming joy on social media at the time, expressing, ‘The beautiful soul that is my best friend asked me to marry him yesterday. I can’t begin to describe how happy I am,’ solidifying their status as true couple goals for many.
Despite playing brothers on Emmerdale, Kris as Lee Posner and Max as Luke Posner, their characters never shared a scene. However, it was behind the scenes that their friendship initially blossomed into a romance. Interestingly, Max later revealed that a crucial step in their relationship involved a dating app.
Max candidly shared how he reconnected with Kris: “It was later I thought ‘I’ve never done Tinder, so I’ll have a go’, so I went on Tinder and I saw him pop up, and I was like ‘OK this is a sign’ – so I made the first move by sending a message on Instagram….” This modern twist to their love story adds a relatable element to their celebrity romance.
Before confirming their relationship, the pair sparked dating speculation during the summer. They were seen enjoying a rainy hike and shared a snap of themselves sunbathing together on Instagram, subtly hinting at their budding affection and leaving fans curious about their true relationship status, showcasing early signs of their strong bond.
Their upcoming marriage adds another heartwarming chapter to the long history of real-life romances emerging from the world of soap operas, a testament to the close bonds formed during intensive production schedules. This Emmerdale wedding continues a tradition of actors finding love both on and off screen, further endearing them to their dedicated fanbase.
