Adolescence star Erin Doherty splits from girlfriend Sophie Melville after seven years

Erin Doherty, who starred in the popular Netflix series Adolescence, has broken up with her long-term partner, who has stopped following each other on Instagram.

Star of Netflix’s Adolescence, Erin Doherty, has split from her partner of seven years. The actress, 32, is said to have separated from Sophie Melville, 34, seven years after meeting on the set of the Alan Ayckburn play titled The Divide.

While the couple remained fiercely private with their romance over the years, it’s said they are no longer together. A source has since confirmed to the Mirror that the relationship has been over for a while. While Erin is currently making waves on the Netflix drama starring Stephen Graham – and also featuring alongside the Scouse star on A Thousand Blows – Sophie is best known for her appearance on BBC’s Call The Midwife.

Both Erin and Sophie no longer follow each other on Instagram. They had initially kept their relationship private for two years before going public.

Erin has previously made an open letter to her partner. She also acknowledged in the past that being in relationships with men had left her feeling unsatisfied.

After finding her foot on The Crown, Erin’s Netflix debut, Adolescence, has won her fans. In the compelling four-part series, the actress perfectly portrays clinical psychologist Briony Ariston.

Jamie Miller (Owen Cooper), a teen accused of killing a female peer, is the subject of her evaluation. Jamie appears friendly initially, but quickly changes to a more ominous and volatile demeanor.

And Erin called that aspect of the movie “genuinely frightening.” She praised the 14-year-old newcomer’s impressive performance in his television debut and said, “It was genuinely frightening.”

Every actor has a dream, she said, and they are in this strange reality that they have created. You may think it sounds strange, but you actually believe it at this very moment.

She continued to applaud her younger co-star’s efforts, saying, “I’m so proud of Owen because I got to see him push himself as an actor, to really go there. He was a youngster at the time, and he didn’t want to be this frightened creature, especially with the person he had just met.

Erin has also previously opened up on how she got to grips playing her own role. Speaking to Metro, she explained: “I think particularly psychologically, people who are in that line of work are very in the moment.

Instead of having that context, I was aware that what you needed to see was someone who was present. In order to serve the piece as best I could, I basically did my research before letting it all go.
