Actress Tina O'Brien celebrated her 43rd birthday on Friday with a meal at an Italian restaurant in Cheshire alongside her two children, Scarlett, 17, and Beau, 11. O'Brien wore a denim jacket and a matching miniskirt, accessorized with tan cowboy boots. She was also seen wearing a 'It's my birthday!' badge.
Scarlett, whose father is actor Ryan Thomas, has begun her own acting career, appearing in the series Waterloo Road. O'Brien and Thomas were previously in a relationship from 2003 to 2009 after meeting on the set of Coronation Street.
O'Brien shares her son Beau with ex-husband Adam Crofts. The couple, who were married for seven years, separated last year. An insider suggested their split was due to diverging lifestyles, with Crofts preferring a quieter life focused on fitness, contrasting with O'Brien's enjoyment of social outings.
The birthday celebration followed a recent trip to Italy with her daughter, actress Scarlett, and Coronation Street co-star Alison King, along with King's daughter Daisy Mae Huckett. O'Brien shared photos from the trip, including one in a blue and white striped bikini and another in a yellow lace minidress.
This trip also occurred shortly after O'Brien's reported split from ex-boyfriend Rory Martin last month. A source indicated that the long distance between them, as Martin resides in Ireland while O'Brien lives in Cheshire, made the relationship difficult to sustain.
Recent reports suggest O'Brien may have reconnected with a former boyfriend, identified as millionaire businessman Adam Fadle. An insider commented that O'Brien, having passed her 40th birthday, has been embracing life fully, though concerns have been raised by friends about her choice of partners. The same source contrasted her current approach to relationships with her past marriage to Adam Crofts, describing her as a "a new Tina now."
