Rita Simons shares her engagement news on Instagram, showcasing her beautiful ring and celebrating with friends and fans.
Rita, who’s now in Hollyoaks, met Ben back in 2017 while they were both in Legally Blonde the Musical. They’ve been together since 2020, and it’s clear they’re super happy.
Her post was flooded with love from friends and fans. Samantha Womack, who played her sister on EastEnders, was all about the excitement, saying, “Wooooooooooop!!!!!” Duncan James from Blue also chimed in with heartfelt congratulations.
Rita has shared bits about her relationship on the ITV show Drama Queens. She and Ben moved to Liverpool last year and even bought a new home together. They were friends for years before dating, which is pretty sweet.
Earlier this year, Rita had a hysterectomy to help with some health issues she was facing. She’s been open about how it improved her mental health, saying it was the best decision she ever made.
Rita was previously married to Theo Silveston, with whom she shares twin daughters. They split in 2018 after 14 years together. It looks like Rita is ready for a fresh start and a new chapter in her life!
