Former Emmerdale and Hollyoaks star Anthony Quinlan recently shared a glimpse into his perfect evening with girlfriend Nikki Sanderson on Instagram. The two have been dating since 2022, when Nikki, who has played Maxine Minniver on the popular soap for 12 years, first went public with their relationship. Although Anthony also appeared on Emmerdale, they never crossed paths on set as he had already moved on to other projects before Nikki joined the show.
Anthony played Gilly Roach on Hollyoaks for six years before joining the cast of Emmerdale as Pete Barton until 2020. This past weekend, he treated his 164,000 followers to a romantic date night at Peter Street Kitchen, a Mexican and Japanese restaurant in Manchester's Spinningfields district. He shared a sweet photo of the two of them together, expressing his love for the food, drinks, and service at the restaurant before heading home to watch a boxing match.
Their relationship reportedly started at the gym, as both Anthony and Nikki share a love for fitness. However, Anthony was quick to shut down rumors and revealed that they actually knew each other for years before reconnecting through Instagram. He playfully joked about sliding into her DMs and being lucky enough to land a date with her.
In response to the news of their relationship, a source told The Sun that Nikki had been going through a tough time and Anthony has been a great support for her. However, Anthony clarified that they were just friends for years before their romantic relationship began. He also mentioned that they both share a love for fitness, which brought them closer together.
