TV couple appears to have aged gracefully as they mark 14 years as a couple.

In a truly heartwarming gesture, former Hollyoaks actor Emmett J Scanlan took to Instagram to share a special birthday message for his wife and former co-star, Claire Cooper. Emmett, who is most well-known for his role as the infamous Brendan Brady on the popular Channel 4 soap, couldn't help but gush over his beloved partner as he reflected on their journey together.

As he shared a series of sweet photos of the two of them, Emmett revealed that not only was it Claire's 44th birthday, but it also marked an important milestone for their relationship. It was exactly 14 years ago that Claire had "flirted back" with him, igniting the spark that would eventually lead to their beautiful romance.

In his heartfelt post, Emmett reminisced about the early days of their relationship, jokingly mentioning his "handlebar tash" and his "bad boy" reputation. Despite these initial obstacles, Claire had somehow allowed him to pursue her, and their friendship soon blossomed into a loving partnership. And now, 14 years later, they are happily married with a loving family.

Of course, no birthday post would be complete without a little lighthearted teasing, as Emmett playfully joked about Claire's "rookie mistake" of flirting back with him all those years ago. But in the end, he expressed his love and gratitude for her, writing, "We've aged magically together. Love ye."

Their former co-stars also joined in on the birthday celebrations, with Bronagh Waugh, who played Emmett's on-screen sister, sending her well wishes and reminiscing about the "sparks and banter" that started flying between the two on set. Danniella Westbrook and Roxanne Mckee, who also appeared on Hollyoaks, also shared their birthday greetings for Claire.

Emmett and Claire, who tied the knot in 2015, are proud parents to two children, Ocean and Fiáin. And while they may have left Hollyoaks in 2013, they have continued to make waves in the entertainment industry with their impressive acting credits. But it's clear that their love for each other is the true highlight of their journey together. Happy birthday, Claire!
