Tina O’Brien’s Marriage on the Rocks?

On a recent Friday, Tina O’Brien from Coronation Street and her husband Adam Crofts have raised concerns about a possible separation due to a photo Tina posted without her wedding ring.

Since they got married in 2018, this pair has definitely experienced a mix of good times and challenging periods during their relationship.

In the course of their matrimony, Tina has managed a challenging bond with her former partner, Ryan Thomas, whom she dated for six years up to 2009 and with whom she has daughter Scarlett.

Last year, it was alleged that she was involved in a surprising fight with teenage girls, which took place outside her expensive £1m residence.

41-year-old actress known for her role as Sarah Platt on ITV’s show, posted a captivating selfie while wearing a leggy red mini dress, prior to her co-star Colson Smith’s farewell event in Manchester this weekend. Notably, she didn’t wear a ring in the picture.

I, as a devoted follower, recently noticed Tina posting on Instagram, showing a single finger adorned. This action comes merely weeks after she embarked on a vacation, leaving behind her 10-year-old son Beau, who she shares with Adam.

According to a source, the couple shifted homes around Christmas, which turned out to be quite challenging. Subsequently, they took vacations separately, and this experience reinforced in them the desire to live individually.

‘Everyone is hoping they can work it out but it’s not looking likely.’

TopMob have contacted Tina and Adam’s reps for comment. 

Back in 1999, Tina gained widespread recognition for her role on Coronation Street at a similar age to Scarlett’s current age. Remarkably, her own daughter has continued the family tradition of acting, appearing on Waterloo Road.

She shares Scarlett with her ex and fellow Corrie alum Ryan.

In a soap opera setting, the forty-year-old performer portrayed Jason Grimshaw, where his character was in a romantic relationship with Tina, both on-screen and off-camera.

However, when Ryan went all out for Scarlett’s 16th birthday in October, it was Tina who was conspicuously missing from the celebration.

Since last year, following an angry argument at night, the duo has experienced tension in their relationship, as Ryan accused Tina of damaging his Range Rover with a baseball bat in 2022.

It was said that Ryan attributed the damage to the wing mirror on his car to his former partner, as they were going through a difficult phase in their relationship.

Instead of a joint celebration for their daughter’s significant birthday, it appears that the ex-pair chose to celebrate separately.

A source told The Sun at the time: ‘Scarlett had her party at Barca Bar in Manchester last night.

‘Her dad Ryan was there keeping an eye on things, but mum Tina was nowhere to be seen.

Ryan took care of both the payment and the arrangement, but given that their relationship remains strained, Tina decided not to attend – no one was interested in escalating tensions further.

It was also revealed by another source that Tina intended to show up, but she couldn’t because her day at the Corrie set ran longer than expected.

During the reported automobile accident, it was mentioned as well that Tina and Ryan rarely communicate nowadays. The delicate bond tying them together seems to have broken apart completely.

It’s reported that Ryan, a previous winner on Celebrity Big Brother, had his car taken for repairs a day following the supposed event.

After spending the evening with friends, it’s reported that Tina’s relationship with her partner became strained due to an incident involving their car – the wing mirror was broken and the paintwork was scratched.

According to a source, back then, Ryan and Tina had a strained connection. They weren’t getting along well, and their disagreements escalated.

At a friend’s house gathering, Tina stepped outside when her companion arrived. As he pulled up in his car, she went out onto the street to greet him. Unfortunately, not long after this, his vehicle got damaged with a baseball bat.

‘They mentioned that it was a troubling event, and Ryan left immediately afterwards. Since then, they haven’t communicated, and Ryan remains enraged.’

In 2023, it seemed as though Tina renewed her dispute with her former partner, Ryan, by labeling him as a ‘narcissistic father’ in a since-removed Instagram post.

At the moment she expressed strong agreement with a quote she posted on her social media account, which spoke of a father figure who was oppressive, self-centered, aggressive, and deceitful.

On Thursday evening, she also wrote along with the upload, ‘Fortunately, not my father… but a father I’m quite familiar with… it struck a chord with me particularly strongly.’

Tina’s Instagram story was thought not to be about her husband Adam, who she married in 2018. 

Tina shared a quote about a father who seems deeply immersed in his own self-important realm, demanding that others obey him.

The behaviors of such a person can inflict emotional harm on every family member, leaving lasting scars.

In full it read: ‘The tyrannical narcissistic father is a bully – a cruel, lying, arrogant person.

In my perspective, I find myself often encountering individuals who are deeply enamored with their extravagant realm, demanding absolute compliance from others. Such an approach, I believe, is far from the harmonious lifestyle we all strive for.

‘He is emotionally abusive and can cause significant emotional damage to all family members.

It’s unfortunate that his actions tend to create a poisonous environment within the family, potentially inflicting deep scars that last a lifetime.

Additionally, last April while married to Adam, it was alleged that Tina found herself involved in a surprising fight, which involved teenagers, outside her estimated £1 million residence.

On March 15, she was observed getting physically assaulted, with her hair being pulled and receiving punches, in a brawl that took place outside her expensive residence in Bramhall, an affluent area of Greater Manchester.

Tina was attempting to safeguard her house against an unexpected assault, as it seemed that some neighboring girls had premeditatedly planned the fight occurring outside.

Later reports suggest that the police determined the soap actor acted in self-defense.

In my understanding, I was informed by a reliable source that the authorities have determined my actions were taken in self-defense, and I am innocent of any wrongdoing. My account has consistently been that I was safeguarding my residence and my loved ones, and it seems this narrative has been acknowledged.

It was noted that Tina, who is small in stature and generally peaceful, typically avoids street fights. However, an unusual incident occurred when these girls approached her on her street and at her home, which is why she became involved in this situation.

She believes they were seeking out trouble, and while it wasn’t particularly admirable, in some sense, she took the appropriate action.

TopMob contacted Tina’s representatives for comment at the time.

On a tranquil street at approximately 8 pm on Friday, March 15, a scuffle erupted, causing the resident actress to dash out of her home.

In the initial frames captured by The Sun, it’s clear that Tina, dressed in a black-and-white striped shirt and pink sweatpants, is attempting to diffuse arguments between two young women.

One can be heard saying: ‘You’ve touched my mum.’

Tina is telling one of the girls to stop holding onto the other and let go, emphasizing it by repeating: “Release your grip on her… Stop! Release your grip on her, I told you to stop. Release your grip on her.

The video continues by displaying teenage girls engaging in a fight, which Tina subsequently steps in to stop by intervening.

The pair are seen wrestling with each other and with Tina, who briefly gets the girl in a headlock.

The girls are seen getting her hair pulled and being punched.

A young woman with fair hair becomes embroiled in a commotion, exclaiming, “Just who on earth do you believe yourself to be, laying a hand on my mother?

Consequently, this leads to another bout of squabbling between the two adolescents, with the actor from Coronation Street finding themselves stuck in the crossfire.

The footage then cuts out and when it restarts shows a melee involving the actress and three girls.

According to a source, it was reported to The Sun shortly after the fight that Tina immediately arranged a meeting with her Coronation Street superiors the following morning.

She communicated that she was the one harmed in this situation, and they’ve agreed with her perspective. Additionally, they believe the event left a lasting impact on her, so they’ve shown great empathy towards her.

According to the source, the actress, known for her roles in Waterloo Road and Strictly Come Danning, was attempting to put an end to something.

In a surprising twist, even though you see her on Coronation Street, it’s hard to imagine that she would be entangled in something like this, given it takes place in such a prominent location.

As a devoted admirer, I’d like to share that Tina, the two-time winner of the Best Actress award at the Inside Soap Awards, was articulating her perspective in response to certain questions or situations.

According to the source, Tina has been facing issues close to her home, and this time she ventured out to tackle the problem herself.

Since some girls arrived near her residence, she perceived it necessary to protect both herself and her dwelling, as they seemed quite close.

At that point, a representative for the actress explained to The Sun: “Tina was unfortunately targeted in an unwarranted event outside her residence, and she’s already filed a report with the police.

Besides the mother of two reaching out to the police, it’s thought that a relative of one of the kids may have contacted them as well.

A representative from Greater Manchester Police stated that they are currently examining claims of a physical attack which occurred in Stockport, between 8 pm and 9 pm on the 15th of March.
