When did Steve McDonald and Tracy Barlow get married on Coronation Street?

Steve McDonald and Tracy Barlow got married for a second time on October 8, 2018.

When Tracy found out that Steve kissed Michelle Connor on the day of her wedding to Robert Preston, she was angry and upset - but Steve apologised and ended up asking her to marry him!

However their second marriage could be as short lived as their first.

Days before the nuptials Steve had another one-night stand with Leanne Battersby.

When Tracy walked up the aisle she saw Leanne and said "I'm coming for you b***h" but was referring to the fact that Oliver wasn't wearing the outfit she'd picked out.

Assuming that she knew that Steve had cheated Leanne apologised to her after the ceremony and Tracy was fuming when she discovered the truth.

When did Steve McDonald and Tracey Barlow get back together on Coronation Street?

Steve and Tracey got back together in 2017 at Christmas time after sharing a fairly unromantic drunken kiss.

They were first involved in 2004 when their daughter Amy was born following a one night stand.

After they slept together again in 2011, Tracy became pregnant with twins and they got engaged.

Tracy had a miscarriage when she fell down the stairs but put the blame on Becky Granger claiming that she'd pushed her.

Becky revealed that Tracy had lied at Steve and Tracy's wedding in 2012 when she provided the proof of her medical records - they soon divorced.

Karen had a long running feud with Tracy Barlow who ruined her second wedding to Steve by revealing that he was Amy's father.

From 2009 - 2011 Steve was married to Becky Granger but they divorced after she was unable to have children and she moved to Barbados.

From 2015-2017 he was married to Michelle Connor.

They split after Steve confessed to fathering a son, Oliver, after a one-night stand with Leanne Battersby who he also drunkenly proposed to.
