Real-life Hollyoaks couple Owen Warner and Jemma Donovan have reportedly split after two years together.
The pair met on the set of the Channel 4 show in 2023, when Jemma, joined the cast after a stint in Australian serial drama Neighbours.
In an ironic soapy twist, Owen’s character Romeo Nightingale murdered Jemma’s alter-ego Rayne Royce when he pushed her into a swimming pool in self defence.
He later went on the run, leaving on horse back, much to viewers’ hilarity.
The two went public with her relationship in April, 2023 with a cheeky Instagram post that saw Owen pretending to propose.
Sharing countless holiday snaps – including some with her superstar dad Jason – they seemed a picture of happiness. But according to The Sun, they have now gone their separate ways.
A source told the publication: ‘It’s over and they’re no longer friends. It was very sudden – everyone was so upset for them.’
Metro has reached out to Owen and Jemma’s representatives for comment.
Last month, Jemma revealed that she was taking part in a new project thats worlds away from the soap world.
She’s swapped the screen for the stage, and is performing as a backing singer for a huge popstar.
Jemma was part of Gary Barlow’s Songbook Tour, which concluded on 21st June.
He revealed the connection on his Instagram, saying in a video that introduced his backing singers: ‘Bringing the age group down.’
He then strolled over towards Jemma and fellow backing singer Sophie.
One fan wrote: ‘Love how @officialgarybarlow is so kind and encouraging of his singers like @jemma_donovan.
‘He made sure her microphone was turned right up so we could all hear her, and she was fabulous.’
Another took to X to share: ‘The finale @GaryBarlow! A huge shout out to Jason Donovan’s daughter Jemma who was fabulous as a backing singer.’
