Ray Quinn rose to prominence in the early 2000s on the Liverpool soap Brookside before going on to appear on X Factor, Dancing on Ice, and Hollyoaks, solidifying his status as a household name.

Following a public divorce from his ex-wife Emma Stephen, with whom he had son Harry, the former singer remarried in 2017.

In June of 2017, the 28-year-old met his now-fiancee, schoolteacher Emily Fletcher Ashleigh.

Despite their obvious online crushes, Quinn stated that he intends to take things slowly, telling Star Mag that marriage isn’t on the cards just yet.

“There’s no rush,” he said. Why fix something that isn’t broken? My first priority is to keep my son happy and safe.

“She’s a teacher, and we got married last June.” It was destiny. I believe that whatever is meant for you will not be lost. I despise dating apps. A text message or a Tinder photo is completely pointless.”

Ashleigh made their relationship public by posting on Instagram about how much she adored the former television star.

Ashleigh also shared a photo of herself smiling outside their new home with the caption, “Our closest family and friends will know just how much this means to us!” It feels amazing to be able to say we did it after such a whirlwind year. WOW.”
