Former Coronation Street star Georgia May Foote has broken her silence for the first time regarding the collapse of her marriage to musician Kris Evans, confirming her current relationship status as single. The 34-year-old actress, who portrayed Katy Armstrong on the iconic ITV soap between 2010 and 2015, addressed the personal matter directly during a recent question-and-answer session with her followers on social media.
Public Confirmation of Single Status
When directly questioned about whether she was currently in a relationship, Georgia May Foote responded unequivocally: "I am single." This marks the first official confirmation from the actress herself since reports emerged in July 2025 that her marriage to Kris Evans had ended after just two years. The couple had tied the knot in 2023 at a picturesque log-cabin style venue, having become engaged on New Year's Eve in 2021.
Signs of Strain and Separation
Observant fans had previously noticed significant changes in Georgia's social media presence that hinted at marital difficulties. She had removed her wedding ring and systematically deleted all traces of Kris Evans from her Instagram account, including glamorous photographs from their wedding day. A source close to the situation revealed to The Sun: "Georgia's marriage to Kris seems to be over. It's on the rocks. She's looking to the future and is surrounded by friends and her family."
Interestingly, despite the separation, it emerged that both Georgia and Kris continued to reside together in their matrimonial home, suggesting an amicable enough relationship to maintain shared living arrangements during this transitional period. Another insider explained: "Georgia has been through a lot recently and it's not surprising that it has put strain on her marriage. She told friends she wanted a fresh start after the terrible fire earlier this year and she's just not sure where Kris fits into that."
Reflecting on a Difficult Year
Georgia May Foote has been remarkably candid about the emotional toll of the past year, describing 2025 as "the worst year I've ever had in my life." In a heartfelt social media post as she attempted to leave the year behind her, the actress wrote: "I couldn't catch a break, thank god for my friends and family. This has been one of the worst years I've ever experienced. And I know this because literally I couldn't find a single happy period to even post about."
Finding Moments of Joy Amidst Turmoil
Despite the profound difficulties, Georgia shared a collection of photographs and videos highlighting small moments of happiness that sustained her through the challenging period. These included precious moments with her beloved dog and memories from her pantomime appearances. She wrote accompanying the images: "So here are some little things that made me happy in the middle of it all. (Not the fire obvs). Don't worry, running is going to get its own post because without that I'm not even sure where I would be."
Career Highlights and Personal Milestones
Georgia May Foote first found fame on Coronation Street, where she played Katy Armstrong for five years before departing in 2015. That same year, she achieved further recognition by competing on Strictly Come Dancing, finishing as runner-up with professional partner Giovanni Pernice. Her relationship with Kris Evans had been a significant personal milestone, with Georgia expressing immense excitement ahead of their wedding. In a social media post alongside a photograph from her hen do, she had written: "I am about to marry my best friend. The person who makes me a better person. Here's to the last month of being a Foote."
The actress has not provided specific details about what ultimately led to the marriage breakdown, but her public acknowledgment of being single represents a significant step forward as she navigates this new chapter in her personal life while continuing her career in entertainment.
