Coronation Street star Jacob Roberts has sent fans into a delighted frenzy after posting a loved-up video from a romantic holiday with his real-life girlfriend, fellow ITV soap colleague Caitlin Connolly.
Sun-soaked getaway for real-life cobbles couple
The actor, who plays troubled police officer Kit Winter on the long-running ITV drama, confirmed his relationship with the show's PR manager, Caitlin Connolly, back in October 2025. The pair have been inseparable since, and this week treated their followers to a glimpse of their luxurious break abroad.
In the sweet clip shared to Instagram, the smitten couple are seen enjoying the sunshine and exploring their holiday destination. They captioned the post, "The best end to the best year. HNY."
Corrie cast and fans shower the pair with love
The adorable video quickly attracted a flood of warm comments from both devoted viewers and their Weatherfield colleagues. Georgia Taylor, who portrays Toyah Habeeb, simply wrote, "You two!" while Gareth Pierce (Todd Grimshaw) responded with sun and heart-eyes emojis.
Fans were equally charmed, with one writing, "You guys are literally the cutest," and another adding, "Lovely video." A third supporter chimed in, "Gorgeous! Happy New Year," cementing the public's affection for the off-screen romance.
Drama on-screen contrasts with bliss off-screen
The romantic getaway provides a stark contrast to the turbulent plotlines facing Jacob's character, Kit, on the cobbles. In recent episodes, which aired in early January 2026, Kit has been desperately searching for missing factory boss Carla Connor, who was kidnapped by the villainous Becky Swain.
In the episode broadcast on Friday, January 2, Kit located the flat where Carla was held, only to find it empty. However, a crucial strand of hair he discovered was later confirmed by a lab to belong to Carla, leaving the door open for more high-stakes drama.
While Kit's life in Weatherfield remains fraught with danger and mystery, actor Jacob Roberts is clearly enjoying a much more serene and happy chapter away from the cameras with his co-star love.
