Lisa Riley’s Relationship Update: A Heartfelt Instagram Post for Her Partner’s Birthday
Emmerdale actress Lisa Riley has taken to social media to share a sweet tribute to her partner, Al, on his birthday. The post, accompanied by several cozy snaps of the couple celebrating, garnered a flood of well-wishes from fans.
Riley’s Heartfelt Instagram Post
In her caption, Lisa wrote: “HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY BABY, me and all the family Al are wishing you all the love and laughter in the world on your special day-glad we had the most gorgeous day yesterday celebrating. Today is all about you.” The post included a photo of Al’s impressive travel-themed cake, reports the Daily Star.
A Long-Term Relationship
The couple first crossed paths at a Strictly Come Dancing tour event in 2014 and got engaged four years later. Despite their lengthy engagement, Lisa has previously explained why they have opted against tying the knot. In her statement, she said: “If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it…
We’re very happy as we are and while I love wearing the beautiful ring Al gave me, I’ve never been the kind of girl who longs for a big, flouncy day with a horse and carriage. ‘That kind of thing gives me the ick, to be honest. I’m never going to change my name, so really, what would be the difference? We call each other husband and wife, and have been together for nine years.”
Support from Fans
Fans were quick to flood the Instagram post with birthday wishes for Al. One fan wrote: “Happy birthday Al, have a great day! Hope Lisa is spoiling you.” Another chimed in: “Happy birthday to your man hope he has a great day.” A third added: “Happy birthday photo number 1 is beautiful of you both.”
Emmerdale airs weeknights on ITV1 and ITVX at 7.30pm.
