Emmerdale couple Laura Norton and Mark Jordon expecting second baby
Laura met her partner Mark when he joined Emmerdale as Daz Spencer in 2014.
He was married to actress Siobhan Finneran and they have two children together – Poppy and Joseph.
But they separated shortly after his first stint on the show.
Laura has revealed she and Mark became friends first and then it graduated into something more serious.
Speaking on Loose Women in 2020, Laura said: “When we first told each other we liked each other we just went, ‘Shall we just leave it? Shall we just stay as friends? It’s probably best.’
“So, it was months after we actually told each other.”
Mark, 55, added: “We were really good friends. We kept re-examining the question and eventually it was a bit more of a question.”
Laura and Mark got engaged in 2018, but didn’t announce it until seven months later.
Mark revealed the news on Twitter, writing: “Well 2018 had some of the highest highs and the lowest lows. Really got to feel the love of true friends.
“Feel blessed by the support of my children and elated to have heard the word “yes” from the most beautiful woman in the world. (sic)”
Laura found out she was expecting their first child just as Emmerdale returned to filming after the first lockdown, so chose to stay safe at home.
She gave birth to baby Jesse in January 2021.
