Emmerdale’s Hayley Tamaddon reveals she’s split from fiancé Adrian and is now a single mum
HAYLEY Tamaddon has revealed she is no longer with her fiancé Adrian.
The 45-year-old announced she is now a single mum to her son Jasper as she celebrates her first Mother’s Day alone – after her life was “turned upside down”.
The former Emmerdale star got engaged to estate agent Adrian just weeks after revealing she was pregnant back in 2019.
Revealing they were no longer together, the Dancing On Ice winner wrote: “This Mother’s Day is different for me as I’m now a single mum.
“Mine and Jasper’s life has been turned upside down over the past few months but I realise the best thing to come out of this is Jasper. For he is all I need… and all I’ve ever wanted.
“He makes me so happy! I never set out to be a single parent… but I DID set out to be the best mum I could be, and that hasn’t changed. I’m so lucky I get to be his mummy.
“And I’m very proud of myself for overcoming the many obstacles I’ve faced since he was born.
“To any other single mamas out there… I salute you.”
Hayley, who is best known for playing Del Dingle on the ITV soap, previously revealed she didn’t know if she would be able to have children.
She was friends with Adrian for five years before their relationship turned romantic.
The star previously said: “[We grew up on the] same street, we went to the same school.
“His gran knew my mum, we lived 10 doors apart and 30 years later I needed an estate agent and it happened to be him.

“We couldn’t believe it at the time, and then were friends for five years, and five years later we found ourselves both single.
“He was just this nice guy.”
It was Corrie star Daniel Brocklebank who suggested they go on a date and they embarked on a romance.
She previously played Andrea Beckett in Coronation Street and Calista in Shameless.
In 2010 she won the fifth series of Dancing On Ice with skating partner Daniel Whiston.
