They include first wife Vicky Arden, played by Chloe Newsome, two marriages to Karen McDonald, played by acclaimed actress Suranne Jones before marrying the wayward loudmouth Becky McDonald, played by Katherine Kelly, whose career spring-boarded following the show with Katherine going onto appear in some of television’s most high-profile dramas.
He first married current wife Tracy Barlow in 2012 before they separated before getting hitched again in 2018 in what has gone onto be Steve’s longest and most stable marriage but he did marry his on-off love Michelle Connor, played by Strictly star Kym Marsh, in between.
