After ending her 7-year marriage, Coronation Street’s Tina O’Brien is back in the dating game—and fans are stunned. The new man in her life? A dashing designer who eerily resembles her estranged husband! From steamy dog walks to snogging like teenagers, Tina’s love life is making headlines once again…
When Coronation Street darling Tina O’Brien called time on her marriage to Adam Crofts, many assumed she would retreat from the spotlight to heal quietly. But instead, Tina’s post-divorce glow-up has ignited a firestorm of curiosity—because barely weeks after their separation, she’s already turning heads with a new man. And not just any man. His name? Adam Fadlé. His face? Uncannily similar to her ex-husband’s.
Sources close to the star confirm that Tina and Adam Fadlé met through mutual friends in Cheshire and have already been spotted around town acting like giddy teenagers in love—walking her dog hand-in-hand, stealing kisses in public, and sharing laughs over coffee. One insider quipped, “Tina fell out of love with one Adam and into love with another. It’s like emotional déjà vu.”
But this isn’t just a whirlwind rebound. Adam Fadlé, 38, is a respected interior designer with a background in architecture, having launched his own firm back in 2010. Described as charming, grounded, and charismatic, he seems to be the kind of man who can keep up with Tina’s fiery personality—and her social calendar.
It’s a far cry from the life she left behind. For years, Tina and Adam Crofts were the picture of domestic stability. They met in a Manchester coffee shop in 2011 and sealed their love with a surprise New Year’s Eve wedding in 2018. Together, they share a son, Beau, now ten. But as time passed, their differences became impossible to ignore.
While Adam thrived in a quiet, fitness-focused lifestyle, Tina gravitated toward the electric energy of friends, dance floors, and red carpets. What once felt like balance turned into friction. A close friend revealed, “They were so in love at first, but their lives pulled in different directions. Adam wanted calm. Tina wanted to live.”
The cracks started to show earlier this year. Tina was seen at Coronation Street co-star Colson Smith’s leaving party, dressed to stun in a red mini dress and noticeably without her wedding ring. She later posted solo holiday photos—again, ringless—prompting fans to speculate. It didn’t take long before the truth emerged: the couple had split and were living separately.
But what truly shocked fans was Tina’s quick transformation. From grieving wife to liberated woman, she seemed to embrace singlehood with open arms. “She really let her hair down at Colson’s party,” a friend told the press. “Tina looked amazing. Her recent bikini photos lit up social media. She’s not short on admirers.”
And yet, amid this newfound freedom, Tina appears to have stumbled into something more serious than a fling. Despite trying to keep the relationship “low-key,” as sources say, the chemistry between her and Adam Fadlé is anything but subtle. Locals have seen them together regularly, and their closeness only fuels rumors that this could become her next real love story.
Meanwhile, Tina’s ex, Adam Crofts, remains silent. The two are reportedly on good terms for Beau’s sake, but the emotional contrast between their post-breakup paths couldn’t be more striking. He retreats, she radiates. He hides, she shines. And somewhere in that contrast lies the truth about why they didn’t last.
For now, Tina seems unapologetically herself—thriving, laughing, and yes, loving again. Whether her connection with Adam Fadlé will stand the test of time is still unclear. But one thing is certain: Tina O’Brien isn’t just surviving after heartbreak—she’s rewriting the narrative entirely.
Is this new romance a healing chapter… or the beginning of an even messier drama?
