Coronation Street actor Jonathan Howard, who plays Carl Webster, was previously married to actress Elodie Yung, and has recently been linked to his co-star Olivia Frances Brown. The couple have not confirmed a romance.
Marriage to Elodie Yung
Jonathan was previously married to actress Elodie Yung, known for roles in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, G.I. Joe: Retaliation and Daredevil. More recently, she played the title role of Thony De La Rosa in The Cleaning Lady.
The couple met when Jonathan moved to America after completing drama school. They welcomed a daughter, Minavann, in 2018, and married in 2020 during the pandemic.
Elodie told TheDay.com: "It was during COVID, during lockdown. The cute part was we had another couple of friends (who) were here. Our parents are in Europe, my mom is in Paris, and his mom is in the U.K.
"So Jonny had his mom on his phone, and I had my mom on my phone, and they were all dressed up. They made an effort! And this is how we did it, which was fun."
Separation and co-parenting
Jonathan previously spoke about the difficulties of being away from his wife and daughter while filming Coronation Street. "The hardest part of this job is the heartbreak I feel not being with my daughter every day," he said on Loose Women last year.
Earlier this year, it was reported that Jonathan and Elodie separated last year, with the pair remaining close friends and co-parenting their daughter.
Rumours of a new soap romance
In August, it was reported that Jonathan had started dating his co-star Olivia Frances Brown, who plays Jodie Ramsay. The pair sparked romance rumours after a series of social media posts, though neither has confirmed a romance.
The soap stars posed in sun-soaked Instagram snaps during a trip to Ibiza with friends, including Hollyoaks' Jamie Lomas. Another photo showed Olivia and Jonathan on sun loungers on the beach. The pictures were liked by James Nelson-Joyce, Olivia's ex-fiance and star of the BBC's This City Is Ours, for which he was nominated for a BAFTA this year.
After posting his trip to Ibiza with Olivia, Jonathan shared pictures of a holiday to France with his daughter, who spent time with both of her grandmothers. Elodie was tagged in those pictures.
Coronation Street airs Monday to Friday at 8:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
