Actress Ruby O’Donnell and her boyfriend Nathaniel Dass, who both star in the popular Channel 4 soap opera Hollyoaks, recently celebrated their first anniversary together. Ruby, known for her role as nurse Peri Lomax since 2013, and Nathaniel, who joined the show as Dillon Ray in 2023, have been receiving an outpouring of love and support from fans as they mark this special milestone in their relationship.
Although the couple rarely shares scenes together on the show, their off-screen romance has captured the hearts of many. They officially confirmed their relationship last year and made it Instagram official in July 2024 with a sweet photo of them embracing and smiling. Ruby took to social media on their anniversary to share four adorable pictures, captioning the post with “1 year with u” and a pink heart emoji with a blue arrow.
Fellow Hollyoaks star Nadine Mulkerrin, who plays Cleo McQueen, couldn’t help but gush over the couple, commenting “Cutiessss” along with four red heart emojis. Former Coronation Street actress Kimberly Hart-Simpson chimed in with a “Perfect” and a red heart emoji, while Celebrity Big Brother’s Danny Beard simply left a red heart in the comments.
Fans also flooded the post with messages of love and congratulations, calling the couple “adorable” and expressing their happiness for them. One fan even hinted at the possibility of future Hollyoaks babies, referencing Nadine Mulkerrin’s children with her co-star husband Rory Douglas-Speed.
This isn’t the first time Ruby has shared her affection for Nathaniel on social media. On his birthday in August, she posted a series of photos of them together, declaring, “Happy birthday my love, happiest with you.” The playful banter continued as Nadine Mulkerrin teased about potential Hollyoaks babies in the future.
Ruby and Nathaniel’s relationship has been a source of joy and inspiration for many fans, proving that real-life love can blossom even in the midst of dramatic storylines on screen. As they continue to navigate their journey together, viewers eagerly anticipate what the future holds for this beloved couple.
