Georgia was asked a simple but loaded question: was she single? Her reply was just three words long—“I am single.”

Georgia May Foote has addressed her split from her husband Kris Evans for the first time in an Instagram Q&A

The actress, 34, best known for playing Katy Armstrong in Coronation Street, was reported to have split from her husband last July

 

Despite its brevity, the response carried enormous weight. It was the first time Georgia had directly acknowledged the end of her marriage since reports emerged last summer that she and musician Kris Evans had gone their separate ways. For fans who had followed her personal and professional journey for over a decade, the confirmation felt both heartbreaking and clarifying.

A Year That Changed Everything

Georgia’s quiet confirmation comes after what she has openly described as the most difficult year of her life. In a deeply emotional Instagram post shared in December, the actress reflected on the relentless challenges she faced throughout the year, admitting she struggled to find even a single period of sustained happiness.

“Nope. Worst year I’ve ever had in my life,” she wrote candidly. “I couldn’t catch a break—thank God for my friends and family.”

Her words painted a picture of a woman pushed to her limits, navigating personal loss, emotional exhaustion, and physical health struggles behind the scenes, all while maintaining a brave public face. Georgia revealed that the stress of the year had a severe impact on her vitiligo, causing flare-ups that deeply affected her confidence.

“I really lost all my confidence,” she admitted, offering a rare glimpse into the toll that prolonged emotional strain can take—not just mentally, but physically.

Signs of a Silent Split

Although Georgia and Kris never publicly announced their separation, fans began to notice subtle signs that something was amiss. Reports surfaced that Kris had moved out of their Manchester marital home, while Georgia was seen without her wedding ring. Soon after, all traces of her husband disappeared from her social media accounts.

In August, Kris reportedly left the UK to attend a songwriting retreat in Spain, a move that appeared to further signal the growing distance between the pair. Around the same time, he shared a cryptic message on social media: “In a time of destruction, write something.” The post struck a somber chord, hinting at personal turmoil without offering details.

Despite public curiosity, both Georgia and Kris remained silent—until now.

From Fairytale to Fracture

Georgia and Kris had always kept their romance largely out of the spotlight. The couple met in 2018, fell quietly but deeply in love, and became engaged three years later. In July 2023, they tied the knot in what was widely viewed as a joyful new chapter for the actress after years of career highs and lows.

For fans, the marriage felt like a fairytale ending—one that made the eventual breakdown all the more painful to witness from afar.

While the reasons behind their split remain private, Georgia has made it clear she has no desire to publicly dissect what went wrong. “I don’t even want to get into why it was so awful,” she told her followers, choosing instead to focus on survival, healing, and growth.

Strength Forged in Pain

If Georgia’s posts revealed anything, it was not defeat—but resilience. In one of the most powerful passages she shared, the actress reflected on the strength she discovered within herself during her darkest moments.

“If I have learnt one thing from all of this,” she wrote, “it’s that I’m a fighter. I am so strong. So resilient. I give 12059% into everything I do.”

Her words resonated deeply with fans, many of whom flooded her comments with messages of love, encouragement, and gratitude for her honesty.

“It’s OK to cry. It’s OK to feel let down. It’s OK to feel hurt,” Georgia continued. “But sometimes, you have to tell yourself, one day I will have the life I deserve because I am kind. That will be enough.”

Fans Rally Around Her

The response from fans was immediate and overwhelming. Messages poured in praising Georgia’s openness and bravery, with many sharing their own experiences of heartbreak and resilience.

“New year, new chapter,” one supporter wrote.
“2026 will be your year,” another promised.
“Tough times don’t last, tough people do,” echoed a third.

For many, Georgia’s words served as a reminder that even public figures—often perceived as untouchable—experience the same struggles, self-doubt, and pain as anyone else.

Career Struggles Behind the Scenes

Georgia’s personal struggles have coincided with a challenging period in her professional life. After her dramatic exit from Coronation Street in 2015—where her character Katy Armstrong was killed off in a devastating car crash—Georgia remained a familiar face on British television.

She appeared on Strictly Come Dancing, Celebrity Juice, and later secured a regular role on the American fantasy series The Outpost. However, in recent years, work has slowed dramatically.

Speaking candidly on the Sausage On A Fork podcast, Georgia admitted she has faced a “nightmare” trying to book roles, describing the past few years as the quietest of her career.

“I came back in December 2020 and realised, ‘Oh my God, there’s no work,’” she explained, citing industry shutdowns, production backlogs, and writers’ strikes as major factors.

“It’s just been a nightmare,” she said, noting that countless actors around the world have faced similar struggles.

Looking Ahead to a New Chapter

As 2026 approaches, Georgia May Foote appears determined to step into a new phase of her life—stronger, more self-aware, and surrounded by support. While her marriage may have ended, her story is far from over.

Her message to fans was clear and heartfelt: life is hard, but it is also precious. “Please be kind to others. Please stay strong if you are struggling,” she urged. “We only get one life—so love deeply, be loved, and try to find a little happiness every day.”

In breaking her silence, Georgia hasn’t just confirmed a split. She has reclaimed her narrative—one defined not by loss alone, but by resilience, honesty, and the promise of brighter days ahead.
