How they’re related
According to reports from early 2024, Emily and Alistair were said to have been introduced after her aunt started dating his dad Stephen Garner in the early 1990s.
Furthermore, Stephen and Emily’s aunt – the sister of her mum actress Kate Robbins – got wed in 1994.
And so, Emily and Alistair have been dubbed “step-cousins” in the press.
Family’s ‘delight’
When she announced her pregnancy, a friend said to be close to Emily told The Sun how her relationship was progressing.
The unidentified source claimed: “It’s the perfect end to her year and she feels over the moon. Emily is more than ready to be a mum and it is something she has dreamed of her whole life. Her relationship with Alistair has gone from strength to strength and they’ve moved in together.”
Additionally, they are said to have continued: “Family is everything to her. She comes from a big family and is really close to all her siblings. So she can’t wait to start one of her own. They’ve all rallied around her and are delighted in the joyous occasion.”
Congratulations to Emily and Alistair!
