EastEnders and Emmerdale star marries fellow actor boyfriend in loving display

Natalie Spence, a star from EastEnders and Emmerdale, has married Home and Away’s Ryan Bown.

The actress played the part of Beth in the BBC One soap in 2021, and Abi in ITV’s Emmerdale a year later.

Natalie has been engaged to Ryan since last April and over the weekend, they tied the knot in Sydney Harbour.

Ryan wore a white shirt and cream suit, while Natalie was seen in a mini bridal dress with a veil, corset detail and white heels. The pair were seen posing for gorgeous snaps at a park near the western harbour.

Guests at the ceremony included Ryan’s Home and Away co-stars Matt Evans, Adam Rowland and Tristan Gorey.

Ryan, who is 31, plays the part of Sonny in the Australian soap. Prior to landing the role, he lived in London with Natalie.

The star previously spoke about how he was offered the role of Sonny at a perfect time in his life.

‘My landlord was selling our apartment, so we had to leave. The day we moved was the day of my final audition’, he said in a chat with publication TV Week.

‘We were in an empty apartment with a bottle of champagne and pizza waiting until midnight to do my final round over Zoom. Two days later, I got the offer.’
