Coronation Street star Julia Goulding, known for playing Shona Platt, leads a quieter life off-screen with her husband Ben Silver, a teacher. The couple, who began dating in 2015, married in 2018 at Manchester's Albert Hall after a secret ten-month engagement. Goulding's co-stars, including Jack P. Shepherd and Tina O'Brien, attended the wedding.
Goulding and Silver have two children: son Franklin Wolf Silver, born in 2019, and daughter Emmeline Beanie Silver, born in 2022. The actress has shared that she knew she would marry Silver after just a week of dating, with Silver recalling telling her he loved her at the end of that week.
On-screen, Goulding's character Shona has faced dramatic storylines, including a brain injury and her newborn baby's recent surgery for a cancerous tumour, which was successful. In contrast, Goulding's real-life marriage is low-key, with her husband rarely seen in the public eye.
