As an ardent fan of Emmerdale, I can’t help but feel a surge of joy and excitement upon hearing the news that Kris Mochrie and Max Parker are tying the knot! Their love story is as captivating off-screen as their on-screen characters, the Posner brothers. The way they met, became friends, and then found love in each other amidst the bustling set of Emmerdale is nothing short of magical.


Kris Mochrie, from Emmerdale, announced that he and his fiancé Max Parker have chosen a wedding date, and they plan to get married in August 2025.

A well-known actor, aged 39, recently announced their engagement on Instagram Stories. His fiancé, who is 32, had proposed in a romantic beach setting exactly two years ago.

In the ITV soap opera, the handsome actors portraying siblings are in the spotlight, with Kris taking on the role of Lee Posner and Max as Luke Posner.

“Counting down the days! Exactly one year from now, I’ll have 365 incredible moments to look forward to, as I eagerly await this special day, symbolized by a simple yet meaningful wedding ring emoji.”

In the Emmerdale series, though they never appeared on-screen together, a strong friendship formed off-camera, which eventually grew into a romantic relationship.

Sharing the exciting news of our 2022 engagement, Max posted on Instagram: ‘He’s worthy of everything, yet all I can offer is my heart. And he agreed!’

‘Happiest moment of my life. @krismoc my Fiancé’

The couple celebrated with champagne on the beach and shared a sweet kissing snap in the post.

Additionally, Max shared a brief video where he can be seen bending down on a knee, presenting the ring, followed by joyous celebrations with a kiss and an embrace.

In a heartfelt engagement announcement, Kris shared that his dearest friend proposed marriage to him the day before. Words fail him as he expresses the immense joy he feels.

I adore him more than language can express; our days are filled with laughter, and I am deeply appreciative for his arrival in my world.

It turns out I was completely clueless, but everything turned out perfectly! This movie truly captures the essence of the situation. Max requested any jewelry from my grandmother that my mother had, and she still had my grandmother’s locket. Remarkably, he had it crafted into the center of the engagement ring, hidden on its inside. Such a unique and heartwarming touch!

As someone who has been blessed with a multitude of opportunities and surrounded by love from my job, family, and friends, I feel incredibly fortunate to have found myself standing at this juncture of my life. The journey has been filled with challenges and triumphs, but it is the unwavering support and affection that I have received along the way that has made it all worthwhile. And now, as I look towards the future, I am overjoyed to announce that I will be embarking on this new chapter of my life as a married man! The love and excitement in my heart is indescribable, and I can’t wait to share this beautiful moment with all of you. Here’s to a lifetime of happiness and endless adventures together!

In 2020, Max announced his coming out story following the confirmation of his relationship with Kris. He expressed, “Now I feel comfortable knowing that I am gay!” in a confident manner.

In the summertime, their romantic rumors grew stronger as they went on a wet hiking adventure and posted a photo of them sunbathing side by side on Instagram.

Kris and Max first crossed paths on a soap opera set, but they never appeared in the same scene. However, their bond grew off-camera as a strong friendship emerged, eventually leading to the blooming of romance.

In a chat with Attitude magazine, Max shared details about his relationship with Kris. They initially met while working together on Emmerdale, but it wasn’t until Max noticed Kris on Tinder that he started messaging him privately.

Max mentioned that during their initial encounter, ‘He was wrapping up shooting on set… It was then that we first crossed paths. At the time, I wasn’t aware of his sexual orientation, but I recall being struck by how attractive he was…’

Later on, I reflected that I hadn’t used Tinder before, so I decided to give it a try. After joining, he appeared, and I thought, ‘This could be a sign’. Consequently, I took the initiative by messaging him via Instagram…

‘I didn’t know he was gay and I didn’t know that he would fancy me, but then he did.’
