Coronation Street star Cait Fitton, known for playing Lauren Bolton on the ITV soap, is loved-up with her boyfriend Ben away from the drama on the cobbles.
On-screen romance struggles
Lauren's love life on the show has been rocky, including an on-and-off romance with Ollie Driscoll (Raphael Akuwudike). In Wednesday's episode (July 22), Ollie revealed he had been offered a job in Brighton, and Lauren masked her feelings, telling him it was a great opportunity.
Real-life romance
In real life, Cait first teased her new partner in June 2025, telling fans her "boyfriend" had bought her a Jellycat toy. She later shared a photo on her story showing silver '23' balloons and a photo of her other half, writing: "A day celebrating you" with a white loveheart emoji.
In March, Cait celebrated her first anniversary with Ben. Ben posted a photo of them in a restaurant to his Instagram Story, saying: "Happy 1st anniversary ma love [red heart emoji]." Cait reposted it, adding: "Nothing but love" with a teary eye emoji and a pink love heart.
Birthday celebration
In June, Cait celebrated Ben's 24th birthday on social media. Alongside pictures and videos, including outside Corrie's Rovers Return, she wrote: "Happy birthday to the man who steals my food, leaves socks everywhere, and somehow still manages to be the best thing that ever happened to me." She added: "You're kind, loving, and you put up with me — that alone makes you a superhero. Thank you for being my rock, my comfort, and my favourite chaos. I hope your day is as special as you and even better than that! Love you long time."
Coronation Street airs Monday to Friday at 8:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
