Coleen Nolan, 61, has gotten matching tattoos with her new boyfriend, Ryan Brockbank, 41, after a few months of dating. The "Loose Women" presenter met the fashion lecturer following her appearance on "Celebs Go Dating."
Nolan's daughter, Ciara, 25, shared details about the tattoos in a recent episode of the podcast "Nolans Uncensored," expressing her dismay. Ciara stated that her mother has an "R and a heart" tattoo and the phrase "Until the end" on her forearm, which she got with Brockbank.
"Mum's got tattoos. Matching with Ryan!" Ciara said on the podcast. "She sent it in our group and we all wanted to kill ourselves. We were all texting each other privately going 'mum's lost the plot'. She's lost her head."
Nolan responded with a laugh, saying, "I haven't though, just lost my heart." She also joked that her hips are feeling better since she began dating Brockbank, who is 20 years her junior. Nolan described her "Celebs Go Dating" experience as a "disaster," noting that her ego was "on the floor" due to rejections.
Nolan and Brockbank have reportedly taken a romantic getaway, and he has shared photos of her on social media. A source told The Sun that Nolan is "pretty smitten" with Brockbank and that their relationship is moving quickly. The source added that Brockbank is a father himself and they have much in common, with Nolan applying lessons learned about dating from the television show to her real life.
Brockbank is a lecturer at the Fashion Retail Academy. He was seen with Nolan over the weekend as she supported her sisters during their show "An Afternoon With The Nolans."
Nolan was previously married to actor Shane Richie from 1990 to 1999 and had two sons, Shane, 37, and Jake, 33. She had Ciara with ex-husband Ray Fensome, to whom she was married from 2007 to 2018.
In other recent personal developments, Nolan has showcased a 3.5 stone weight loss after partnering with a weight-loss company. She has gone from a size 20 to a size 14 and reported improved energy levels and reduced back pain since the weight loss. Nolan previously stated in 2023 that she did not believe in weight loss drugs like Ozempic.
