They were married at Elvis' home at Graceland last year.

Within months of dating, the couple were engaged to get married in 2018.

Sparks started flying when they first crossed paths on the soap set together.

Earlier this year, Michelle opened up about her exit as Vanessa Woodfield so she could go on maternity leave.

Her character Vanessa was diagnosed with stage three bowel cancer.

In the heartbreaking storyline, she got her girlfriend Charity to adopt son Johnny incase of the worst case scenario.

She told Metro: "Charity adopting Johnny is a massive step in their relationship.

"Obviously with me not being onscreen for the foreseeable due to my pregnancy, the story will continue going forward as Charity navigates her life and parenthood in the absence of Vanessa."
