Coronation Street star Jacob Roberts has appeared to confirm his new romance with someone who works on the ITV soap.

The actor joined the cast last year, playing Kit Green. Bent copper Kit rocked up as Bernie Winter's (Jane Hazlegrove) estranged son - and it's fair to say it didn't take him long to become involved in some drama.

From finding out he has a secret son, Brody Michaelis (Ryan Mulvey) to being left for dead after getting stabbed, Kit's time in Weatherfield has not been short of drama.

However, with actor Jacob's career going from strength to strength, it seems the same can also be said for his personal life.

According to reports, Jacob is now in a new relationship with someone he met on the ITV soap. Jacob recently went public with Corrie PR Caitlin Connolly on Instagram.

He appeared to confirm their relationship with a sweet selfie he shared to his Instagram Story. In the snap, Jacob and Caitlin could be seen posing together, with Jacob adding a love heart emoji to the photo.

Talking about their alleged romance, a source told The Sun: "They've been together for a while now, it's very sweet. They seem besotted with each other and it's been an open secret they're an item for quite a while." Reach has contacted Jacob's representatives for comment.

Jacob's new 'romance' comes after he split with his ex, PR Amy Harris after five years together. The soap star fuelled separation speculation last year by erasing all traces of Amy from his Instagram grid, a move that Amy mirrored in October 2024 - seemingly confirming their split.

Meanwhile Jacob isn't the only soap star to 'find love' on the cobbles. His co-star Jack P. Shepherd met his now-wife Hanni when she worked as a storyline writer and researcher.

Going from strength to strength, they got engaged in June 2024 after six years of being together. And in July this year, Jack and Hanni tied the knot.

The pair exchanged vows at Manchester Cathedral, with guests including Lucy Fallon, Tina O'Brien and Julia Golding as well as close friend and best man Colson Smith and groomsman Ben Price, not forgetting Jack's on-screen mum Helen Worth.
