HAPPY HALSALL! Coronation Street Star Alan Halsall Sets New Year on Fire With Steamy Kiss and Stunning New Love
It looks like love is officially back on track for Coronation Street favourite Alan Halsall, and he’s ringing in 2026 in the most headline-grabbing way possible. A single photo — a passionate New Year’s kiss shared with his glamorous girlfriend Ellie Dolan — has sent fans buzzing, tongues wagging, and social media into overdrive.
After a turbulent year of change, heartbreak, and fresh starts, Alan’s latest loved-up snap feels like more than just a romantic moment. To many fans, it looks like a bold declaration that the actor has truly moved on — and moved up.
A New Year’s Kiss That Said Everything
As the clock ticked down to midnight, surrounded by close friends and family, Alan and Ellie leaned into the moment — and each other. The photo, later shared on Instagram, captured the couple locked in a steamy kiss, champagne glasses raised, smiles unmistakable even through the blur of celebration.
Ellie captioned the image simply but powerfully: “2026 with you.”
Four words. One kiss. And suddenly, the internet was paying attention.
Alan quickly reposted the snap to his own page, making it crystal clear: this wasn’t a quiet romance anymore. This was public, confident, and very much official.
From Quiet Dating to the Talk of the Town
The couple began dating in December 2024, but insiders say sparks were flying long before the New Year fireworks. Friends close to the actor revealed months ago that Alan was already completely smitten.
“Alan and Ellie are getting on like a house on fire,” one pal shared.
“Things are hotting up between them now, and they love the time they spend together. They’re frequently seen together locally — it’s become the talk of the town.”
That town, of course, is Worsley, Alan’s home turf — and the very place where fate appears to have stepped in.
How Golf, Glamour, and Fate Brought Them Together
Ellie Dolan, who hails from Salford, Greater Manchester, works as a human resources co-ordinator at Delta Hotels by Marriott Worsley Park Country Club — a location that just happens to be close to Alan’s heart.
The Corrie star is famously golf-mad and a member at the exclusive club, where memberships reportedly cost up to £1,181. With a four-star hotel, luxury grounds, and a steady stream of local VIPs, it’s hardly surprising sparks flew in such polished surroundings.
What started as chance encounters soon turned into something deeper — and now, judging by that New Year’s kiss, something seriously intense.
Life After Heartbreak
This romantic new chapter comes after Alan’s very public split from Coronation Street co-star Tisha Merry at the beginning of 2024, following five years together.
Sources close to the former couple revealed that Tisha moved out of Alan’s Manchester home in January, marking a clean break and a fresh start for both. At the time, Alan spoke candidly about embracing life on his own terms.
“I love what I’ve got, even now I’m on my own,” he said.
“I love just being dad. I’ve never done dating apps.”
Those words now feel like the calm before the storm — because love, it seems, found him anyway.
Fans React: ‘He Looks Happier Than Ever’
It didn’t take long for fans to flood social media with reactions. Many were quick to point out how relaxed, confident, and genuinely happy Alan looks alongside Ellie.
“He’s glowing.”
“That’s the smile of a man who’s found peace.”
“Best he’s looked in years — good for him.”
Others, inevitably, began speculating. Is this just a honeymoon phase? Or could this be something much more serious?
What’s Next for Alan Halsall?
With his personal life seemingly in a strong, joyful place and his Coronation Street career still going strong, Alan Halsall appears to be entering 2026 with momentum on his side.
The question now is whether this romance will continue to flourish away from the spotlight — or if fans should brace themselves for even bigger headlines ahead.
One thing is certain: that New Year’s kiss wasn’t just about welcoming a new calendar year. It felt like a statement.
A statement that Alan Halsall is happy, confident, and very much in love — and this time, he’s not hiding it.
Is this the beginning of Alan’s happiest chapter yet?
Will Ellie be the one who finally steals his heart for good?
Or is there another twist waiting just around the corner?
Stay tuned — because if that kiss is anything to go by, this love story is only just getting started.
