Corrie Star Samia Smith Files For Divorce While Dating Co-Star

Happier times, Samia & Matt with baby Freya.


Coronation Street star Samia Smith has filed for divorce from her husband Matt Smith after 5 years of marriage.

The actress, who plays Maria Connor in the soap, split from the property developer in January after rumours spread that she was dating new co-star Will Thorp, who plays her on-screen boyfriend Chris Gray.

In court documents Samia has cited "unreasonable beahaviour" as the reason for divorce. Sounds a bit dodge to me, that normally means uncontrollable temper or being extremely over protective.

On-screen lovers fell for eachother.

Although it has never been stated that Samia left hubby Matt for Will, Matt himself is quoted as saying that the divorce is their fault:

"They have to live with what they've done. She's my wife. I love her and we've got a child. I'm just trying to get on with my life."
The former couple have a 19-month-old daughter together named Freya. Meanwhile Matt has been spotted with Hayley Goodhead, the model who won Coleen Rooney's competition show 'Real Women'.
