Coronation Street’s Simon Gregson reignites split rumours as he’s seen without wedding ring

Simon Gregson, who plays Steve McDonald in Coronation Street on the ITV soap, has been spotted without his wedding ring, which has fueled speculations that he has broken up with his wife Emma.

Coronation Street legend Simon Gregson has sparked concern over his marriage after appearing to ditch his wedding ring. The actor, 50, who plays Steve McDonald on the ITV soap, has been married to wife Emma for 14 years.

Simon fuelled split rumours earlier this year when a tax report regarding his finances said the star and his “estranged” wife, had three years to pay back debt from their production company’s account. And he’s now got tongues wagging again after appearing without his wedding band while out running errands after Emma was spotted without hers last month.

The father-of-three looked deeply thought out in Cheshire as he opened a packet of cigarettes with his ring finger clearly visible and his phone in his pocket while sporting a grey hoodie, baseball cap, jeans, and Nike trainers.

The star’s alleged relationship with his ex-wife was revealed in official documents after his fans expressed concern about her.

The Mirror previously reported the Steve McDonald star could be forced to sell his house if he does not pay back a £252,000 loan he took from his production firm, with official papers showing the soap legend and Emma must repay Simon Gregson Productions a sum of £1,500 per month. The paperwork states the pair, who have been married for 14 years and have three sons, had separated. However, Coronation Street confirmed last week that the couple was still together.

The director’s report stated that she had an overdraft of £282,824 on her loan account. Additionally, it was discovered that this money had been moved into Mr. Gregory’s joint bank account with his estranged wife after being taken out of the company’s bank account. Any dispute would therefore be directed at both parties.

Standing next to a house with a For Sale sign after the story broke, Simon was papped.

However, a source told The Sun that the actor’s marriage was still intact, stating that “Simon and Emma are still very much together.”

“Simon has no idea why Emma is listed in his financial paperwork as his “estranged wife.”

Simon has frequently praised his wife Emma, who owns a tea room in Cheshire, for supporting him while managing his demanding filming schedule.

The couple revealed their relationship to one of his soap star coworkers last year. Emma continued, “I used to go to Bev’s pub with my brother Michael and she was running a singing competition called Eccles Factor,” adding, “We met 18 years ago in the pub in Eccles owned at the time by Beverley Callard.

Because he likes you and is single, Bev asked if I liked him. When Simon and Emma ran into each other at a charity event a few weeks later, they have been dating ever since.

Alfie, 17, Harry, 15, and Henry, 8, are the couple’s three sons.

Simon’s representatives have been contacted by The Mirror for comment on this story.
