Coleen Nolan, 61, is reportedly in a new relationship with fashion lecturer Ryan Brockbank, who is two decades her junior. The Loose Women star is described as being "smitten" with Brockbank, whom she began dating several months ago.
Nolan and Brockbank are said to have already taken a romantic getaway together, and Brockbank has shared photos of Nolan on social media. The presenter is believed to have met Brockbank after her appearance on the reality show "Celebs Go Dating," an experience she previously called a "disaster."
Brockbank lectures at the Fashion Retail Academy, an institution also attended by Molly-Mae Hague. A source told The Sun that Nolan is "pretty smitten" and "talks about him all the time," adding that her children are aware of the relationship and that "things are moving pretty fast."
"He's very creative and a dad himself, so they have lots in common," the source added. "She learnt about herself and dating when she did Celebs Go Dating and has really applied it to the real world."
Ryan Brockbank was recently seen with Nolan as she supported her sisters during their show, "An Afternoon With The Nolans."
Nolan has been married twice previously, first to actor Shane Richie from 1990 to 1999, and then to Ray Fensome from 2007 to 2018.
Nolan has also recently showcased a significant weight loss, shedding 3.5 stone. She partnered with the weight-loss company Voy and has transitioned from a size 20 to a size 14. She stated that the weight loss has improved her energy levels and reduced back pain, and she expressed happiness with her current weight, focusing on maintaining a healthy relationship with food and herself.
