Claire Sweeney and Ricky Hatton’s romance has been reaffirmed as they appeared together at a significant event in Manchester.
The affectionate couple exuded happiness during the opening of Co-Op Live on Saturday, April 20, 2024. This new indoor arena hosted a trial show with Rick Astley ahead of its official launch by comedian Peter Kay on April 23.
Co-Op Live aims to attract major events away from London, with performances lined up by the likes of Take That, Eric Clapton, and Liam Gallagher later this year.
During the VIP event, Claire and Ricky posed happily for the cameras. Claire, known for her role as Cassie Plummer in Corrie, looked radiant in an elegant white jumpsuit, complemented by her beautifully styled blonde curls.
Ricky, the former boxer, sported a casual yet stylish ensemble, pairing a navy T-shirt with a black blazer, ripped jeans, and black trainers while wrapping his arm around Claire.
Their blossoming romance first sparked rumors earlier this year when they grew close behind the scenes of Dancing On Ice.
After months of speculation, they publicly embraced their relationship by sharing their first photo together on social media, taken during their time on the ITV competition.
Ricky celebrated Claire’s birthday on April 17 with a heartfelt message shared online. Their bond has only deepened since, with sources close to the couple expressing Claire’s happiness and excitement about welcoming Ricky into her life.
They described the relationship as a pleasant surprise for Claire, who hadn’t been seeking romance but found a natural connection with Ricky.
Reports also indicate that their relationship is thriving, with Claire listing her £2.3 million London home for sale, signaling a new chapter in their lives together.
As they continue to nurture their love, Claire and Ricky look forward to introducing each other to their families and friends, embracing the joy that their relationship brings.
