Coleen Nolan has gone Instagram official with her new partner, sharing a selfie of the couple together in the summer sun. The Loose Women star, 61, posted the picture on 11 August, simply captioning it with the letter "R" followed by a heart emoji.
New Romance Confirmed
The man in the photo is believed to be Ryan Brockbank, said to be in his late 40s. The couple have reportedly been dating for several months. In the selfie, both are smiling at the camera, with Coleen grinning from ear to ear while Ryan peers over her shoulder.
Ryan has also been sharing snaps of their relationship on his own social media, and his followers are happy to see him with someone he loves. The pair have been seen out together, with Ryan showing up to support Coleen and her sisters during their show An Afternoon with the Nolans, smiling as he waited for her at the end of the event.
Support from Fans and Family
Coleen's new romance follows a difficult time on the reality dating show Celebs Go Dating, where she struggled on a string of dates and had an emotional crashout after none of the men she dated would go on a second date with her.
Celebrity dating coach Anna Williamson was one of the first to show support, writing in the comments: "There she is my Queen Coleen. You deserve it all." The Nolans' official Instagram page also made a cheeky reference to their 1982 hit "Chemistry", writing: "Got the 'Chemistry' right!"
Fans have also gushed over the couple. One supporter said: "You look so good together. So happy for you Col. Happiness at last." Another wrote: "Awww, Coleen I really hope this one treats you well − you're such an amazing and kind lady who deserves a prince charming."
