Something feels off between Coronation Street favorite Katie McGlynn and her reality star boyfriend Ricky Rayment. Fans who have followed their romance from the beginning have noticed some subtle changes. These changes have led to a lot of speculation. Now, many are questioning whether everything behind the scenes is as perfect as it once seemed.
A Sweet Start That Gave Fans Hope
Katie and Ricky’s romance began in 2023 when they met during a cruise. They quickly formed a connection, and by October, they made their relationship official. The couple went public in February 2024, and fans enjoyed seeing the soap star and the TOWIE alum so in love.
However, their situation wasn’t easy. Katie lived and worked in Manchester, while Ricky was in Essex. They chose to pursue a long-distance relationship, doing their best to make it work despite the distance.
At one point, Katie was spotted wearing a ring on her left hand, which sparked engagement rumors. A source later confirmed it wasn’t an engagement ring, but it certainly generated buzz and showed that the couple appeared serious about each other at that time.

Now, however, things seem different. Reports indicate that Katie and Ricky have quietly ended their relationship. They have both removed any signs of each other from their social media, which fans have noticed. A source stated that while they have separated romantically, they still maintain a friendship. “Katie and Ricky have ended their romance.
They’re still friends and want to stay civil, but in terms of a romantic relationship, it’s definitely over,” the source disclosed. The distance might have played a role as well. “It was challenging for them to date while living so far apart, but ultimately it just wasn’t meant to be,” the source added. Neither of their representatives has commented yet, but the lack of response has only fueled the speculation.
Although their relationship may have ended, both stars have many opportunities ahead. For now, fans will be keeping a close eye on them, both on screen and online. Stay with Soap Opera Daily for more updates on all your favorite soap stars from Coronation Street.
