EastEnders stars Shona McGarty and Tony Discipline have publicly confirmed their romance, sharing photos from a holiday where they displayed matching tattoos. The couple, who previously played couple Whitney Dean and Tyler Moon on the BBC soap opera, have kept fans guessing about their relationship status for weeks.
Discipline shared a series of photos on Instagram from their getaway, including one captioned "Little trip away with Mi Amor." The images showed the pair holding hands during dinner and later proudly displaying their new inkings, which appeared to be a toaster with bread, alongside a pineapple and a palm tree.
McGarty responded to Discipline's post with the comment "Tú Y Yo," which translates from Spanish to "You and Me," further solidifying the confirmation of their relationship. Their public confirmation follows earlier speculation after they were pictured together at the Women's Football Awards in May.
While the couple is said to be keen on keeping their relationship label-free as they continue to get to know each other, a source told The Sun that they are "two people having fun getting to know each other in a whole new way." The source added that McGarty is taking things slow, having had past relationships that ended quickly. Discipline, who left EastEnders in 2013 after two years, and McGarty, who departed the soap in 2024, first sparked romance rumors after a red carpet appearance at the Women's Football Awards. McGarty's representatives have been contacted for comment.
